About Tanis
Hello, I’m Tanis Thacker. I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta
Psychologists. I completed my Master of Counselling after a career in corporate finance and communications, where I developed strong analytical and relationship-building skills. I bring that experience into my counselling work to help clients navigate complex challenges, work through difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
I aim to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is attachment-focused and client-centered, and I tailor our sessions to your unique needs and experiences. Together, we can work toward deeper self-understanding,
increased resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults, and couples who are navigating concerns such as trauma, grief, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I also support clients in quieting self-critical thoughts, building confidence, and strengthening self- understanding. I have a particular interest in working with individuals adjusting to late-in-life
ADHD or ASD diagnoses, as well as those impacted by romance fraud.
My approach draws from a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT),
Narrative Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I work alongside you to build insight, develop practical tools, and create a life that feels more manageable, connected, and fulfilling.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. My goal is to meet you where you are and offer a warm, supportive space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can happen at your pace.
