Ms. Sharon Ann Foster, CCC, MACP
(She )
Preferred Name: Sharon Ann
About Me
With over two decades of experience in education and psychotherapy, I bring an Indigenous perspective to EMDR therapy that honours both clinical knowledge and relational healing. Working with all people, I specialize in helping people resolving deeply rooted emotional patterns-often formed in early life- that influence current self-worth, identity, relationships and work.
Education & Experience
I have worked in various contexts as a clinician including working in Alberta Health in the school systems and with Treaty 7 nations, within Practice and Education leadership in Vancouver Coastal Health. I have lead counselling workshops for ACTA, and continued teaching and curriculum development in clinical counselling. I also have extensive supervision experience for practicum students.
