Dana von Wackerbarth

Registered Psychologist

I am Dana von Wackerbarth, a dedicated psychologist with a deep passion for supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. Since 2005, I’ve worked as a registered psychologist, gaining specialized training and extensive experience in trauma-informed care for those dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. My approach emphasizes compassion, cultural sensitivity, and understanding the unique backgrounds, values, and experiences that shape each individual’s mental health. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, continuously refining my knowledge to offer the latest evidence-based therapeutic practices.

I strongly believe in the transformative potential of psychedelics as a powerful catalyst for healing and self-awareness. These medicines, when used intentionally in a safe and supportive environment, have the capacity to unlock deeply held emotional patterns and foster profound insights. With specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, I integrate this innovative, evidence-based approach alongside traditional therapeutic practices such as EMDR, ART, CBT, DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems. This allows me to create holistic, personalized care plans tailored to each individual's needs, fostering meaningful transformation and lasting growth.

My work is grounded in respect, safety, and empathy. I am deeply committed to providing a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where clients can explore their inner worlds. Whether you are embarking on your first psychedelic journey or seeking support after a transformative experience, I guide you through the process of integration, helping you make sense of your insights and emotions. I believe in every person’s inherent capacity for healing, and I honor the courage it takes to embark on this journey.

With a strong commitment to professionalism, cultural humility, and empathy, I provide individualized care in both one-on-one and group settings. I work collaboratively with clients to help them reclaim their lives, build resilience, and develop emotional regulation and self-efficacy. My goal is to empower you to achieve lasting transformation and well-being, guiding you through the challenges of life with the support and tools needed for personal growth.  

Dana is currently offering in-person and online appointments.

Please note that online therapy is only available for individuals living within the province of Alberta.
