​"Contact refers to being connected... at a Meta level. ...an exchange humanly meaningful... the degree to which (client and therapist) are resonating and experiencing the unity of their togetherness. …a state of being in which there is a palpable resonance between client and therapist." - Pat Ogden, PhD

 

Penny Waller Ulmer, Psychologist

For Clients

I offer Sensorimotor Psychotherapy in Edmonton for adults seeking support with trauma, anxiety, stress, life changes, perinatal mental health concerns, or care-giver stress. This approach is a body-based somatic therapy that helps clients explore how life events, habits, and core beliefs affect their relationship with themselves, others, and the world.

In our sessions, we use mindfulness and gentle experiments to help you build awareness and discover new, more adaptive ways of coping. Over time, this process can lead to improved emotional regulation, stronger connection with others, and greater self-compassion.

My hope is that each client develops a deep and lasting curiosity about their own healing journey, experiences, and felt sense of self as they move through past wounds into presence and agency. 

For Consultees:

Individual and Group Consultation is available.  Consultation considers the Consultee as the Focus in the questions, contexts, and curiousities.  Consultation offers opportunity for case consults, skills drills, and/or role-plays, tailored to your group's interests and needs, and meeting SPI Training Requirements.  Group Consultation is a rich and creative support for the training and practice journey, exploring ways to embody Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
