Therapist
My name is Adele Burke and I am the owner and therapist at Calming Energy Counselling. I moved to Grande Prairie in 2005 and have worked in the human services field since. My earlier experience includes front line and supervisory work at a group home and behavioral consultation to children and adults with disabilities. Upon completion of my Master's degree I have worked as a therapist. I have experience providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of presenting issues. Some of the issues I have worked with include depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, self-esteem, stress management, grief/loss, and anger. My clients have described that I am compassionate, caring, understanding, and that my calming presence helps them engage in counselling.
I believe in the wisdom, strength, and resiliency of individuals. I work with my clients to help them achieve the goals that they want.
