Karlana is the founder of Acres Counselling, Mediation & Consulting. She currently holds a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology and is recognized as a Doctoral Candidate PsyD (c), Counselling Therapist (AB), Registered Clinical Counsellor (BC), Certified Canadian Counsellor (CAN), and Qualified Mediator (AB/CAN).
With a deep passion for assisting children, youth, individuals, and families from diverse backgrounds, Karlana brings 22 years of experience in the Human Services Profession, from front-line work to Education and Psychology.
Karlana is dedicated to meeting clients where they are and continues to support them through her education, consulting, and collaboration with various professionals.
Raised in rural Alberta, Karlana understands the critical need for mental health support and has committed herself to positively impacting her hometown and surrounding communities. By establishing her private practice in a unique, inviting, comforting, and home-like environment, she prioritizes privacy and accessibility for all clients.
She invites you to schedule your mental health check-up, and during a visit, you may even encounter and meet our friendly office cat, Boots, and office dog, Frankie; they often enjoy supportive individuals throughout their journeys.
Karlana believes that therapy allows individuals to express themselves and work toward independence, personal strength, and individual goals. Each client brings values, beliefs, perspectives, and coping strategies, allowing her to tailor the most effective approaches and therapeutic modalities to help them achieve their aspirations.
Hello, I'm Frankie! It's great to meet you. I'm currently learning my role, but I truly enjoy spending time with our clients. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Hi there! I'm Boots, the office cat. You'll often find me relaxing in the office, and occasionally, I join sessions or welcome clients as they come in. I can't wait to see you soon!
