Christina McLeod, M.C. Registered Provisional Psychologist

CHRISTINA MCLEOD MC, CCC

 I am located in St. Albert, Alberta, in the Edmonton region, and am a Registed Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. 


I use an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiological approach to therapy, recognizing the connection between behaviours, the nervous system, and interpersonal relationships. I view child behaviour as a form of communication, often expressing a need for connection, understanding, acknowledgment, and safety.


My goal is to assist children and their caregivers in identifying the underlying causes of behaviours and presenting issues, while also teaching emotional awareness, language, and regulation strategies. I apply a comprehensive therapeutic approach, evaluating family dynamics, early childhood development, sleep patterns, nutritional habits, social interactions, physical activity, academic progress, and overall well-being.
