Amber Nicholson
SaveHello, my name is Amber Nicholson, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist working with individual adults in Alberta.
Counselling Approach:
In our work together, my priority is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe. I take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we will explore your experiences, clarify your goals, and draw on methods tailored to your needs. I work from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindful self-compassion. Together, we will select and adapt tools that best support your individual goals, ensuring therapy feels personalized and meaningful. I check in regularly on your progress and welcome your feedback to ensure our work continues to be helpful and aligned with your needs.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals through life, academic, and career transitions, and I deeply believe in each person’s capacity for resilience. My goal is to help you find ways forward that feel authentic and meaningful.
I invite you to schedule a 15-minute consultation to see if I am the right fit for you. You can also reach me at amber@claritypsychology.ca with any questions about my approach, my work, or working with a provisional psychologist.
Background/Experience:
Before becoming a Registered Provisional Psychologist, I spent over 20 years working in the postsecondary sector in student services, career advising, and coaching. During that time, I also volunteered for 10 years with the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Edmonton Distress Line. Through my Master of Counselling program, I completed a practicum at the University of Alberta’s on-campus counselling centre, where I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, each facing unique challenges and life stressors. These experiences have deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based support.
Education and Credentials:
- Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists (#P8565)
- M.C. in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle
- Master of Communications and Technology from the University of Alberta
- B.A. (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Alberta
Services Offered:
Individual Counselling with Adults (18+)
Who I Work With:
My counselling work includes supporting people with:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Academic Anxiety
- Life transition and career related challenges
- Stress management
- Caregiver stress
- Relationship challenges and break-ups
- Parenting stress
- Self-esteem
- Perfectionism
- Boundaries setting and assertiveness
- Blended families
About Me:
I feel a strong connection to Edmonton and the broader Alberta community, having grown up, worked, and built my life here in the Prairies. I am married and part of a large blended family, which keeps life lively and full of learning. In my free time, I love walking or running through our beautiful river valley, spending time with family and friends, and exploring new places through travel. I’m excited to begin this next chapter as a Provisional Psychologist and to support clients at Clarity Psychology as they navigate their own journeys.
Accessing Care from a Registered Provisional Psychologist:
In Alberta, individuals training to become Registered Psychologists are termed “Registered Provisional Psychologists.” Provisional Psychologists differ from Registered Psychologists in that:
Their work is supervised by a Registered Psychologist. This means that their cases are discussed with their supervisor in full (including the names and personal information of clients), their supervisor has full access to all of their documentation and files, supervisors may view live or recorded sessions, and supervisors hold responsibility for the welfare of the client.
- My work is currently being supervised by Adriana Henderson, MC, R.Psych. (AB #5128)
They are working towards the requirements of registration. This means that they are completing a minimum of 1600 hours of supervised practice and 107 hours of supervision, and they are working towards completion of licensing examinations including the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology and the Law & Ethics for Alberta Psychologists Exam.
- I am working towards preparation for these examinations.
