Dr Wanda Polzin, MA

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“An experienced, evidence based clinician who has a proven track record for working with those who have experienced trauma, are dealing with anxiety, depression and/or life transitions. Individual, couples, or families.”

About Me

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating challenging times. My extensive experience and evidence-based approaches guide our work. I help you process trauma, manage anxiety or depression, and adapt to life transitions. We can explore practical strategies together, fostering resilience and a path towards greater well-being. My aim is to offer a supportive space where you can find lasting change.

Approach

Therapy here moves from assessment into steady, collaborative steps that fit your pace and priorities, blending gentle exploration with concrete skills practice. In Edmonton or online, sessions are structured yet flexible—short check-ins, focused work on patterns that keep you stuck, and at-home exercises you can try between meetings to build new responses to stress, relationships, or painful memories. I track progress with you, adjusting tools as needed. This way of working often suits people who want clear, practical ways to feel steadier and more connected.
