About Heidi
At the heart of Heidi’s work is a simple belief: when we understand the story behind our struggles, we are better equipped to move forward with intention and purpose.
Heidi Erisman is a Registered Psychologist who works with young adults, adults, couples, and families. She provides counselling and psychological assessment services for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional difficulties, as well as those seeking greater clarity and understanding of themselves.
Many people arrive in therapy feeling stuck. They may find themselves repeating the same relationship patterns, struggling with anxiety that seems difficult to explain, carrying the impact of painful experiences, or questioning why certain challenges continue to surface despite their best efforts. Together, therapy becomes an opportunity to explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, uncovering the experiences, beliefs, and relationships that have shaped them over time.
Heidi has a particular passion for couples and relationship work. She helps partners navigate communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, conflict, trust concerns, intimacy challenges, and the impact of trauma, ADHD, and other life stressors on relationships. Her goal is not simply to resolve conflict, but to help couples better understand themselves and one another while building stronger foundations for connection and growth.
Her approach is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed, and informed by careful assessment. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapies, Gottman Method principles, and evidence-based trauma treatments, she tailors therapy to the unique needs and goals of each client. She values balancing insight with practical strategies, helping clients develop both a deeper understanding of themselves and the tools needed to create change in everyday life.
In addition to counselling, Heidi conducts comprehensive psychological assessments for adolescents and adults. These assessments provide clarity regarding diagnoses, personality functioning, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, emotional well-being, and treatment recommendations. Her assessment work combines clinical expertise with a thoughtful and collaborative approach, helping clients gain a clearer understanding of their strengths, challenges, and next steps.
Heidi completed her Master's degree in Counselling Psychology through the Centre for Applied Psychology at Athabasca University. Prior she achieved a Masters of Business Administration and an undergraduate degree in psychology. Throughout her career, she has remained fascinated by the ways people grow, adapt, and heal across the lifespan. Clients often describe her as thoughtful, compassionate, and insightful, appreciating her ability to make complex emotional and relational experiences easier to understand.
Outside of her professional work, she enjoys portrait painting, travelling to explore fine art and studying psychology, spending time with her family, and being a proud grandparent to her energetic grandsons. She also shares her life with Dachshunds, whose personalities provide a daily reminder that every individual brings their own unique story into the world.
