Counselling Therapist Intern
I’m Lukas Hagstrom, a Counselling Therapist Intern in Edmonton working with teens, adults and families who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, behavioural challenges and gender-affirming growth. I am part of the One Tree Psychological team, offering a safe, affirming and inclusive space for change and healing. I am currently finishing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
There is no single blueprint to living a fulfilling and meaningful life, and I fully believe you already possess the tools you need to achieve that. I have been working in the mental health industry for over eight years in an array of helping roles.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe therapy should be collaborative, inclusive and goal-oriented. Together we explore where you’ve been, where you are now and where you want to go. I tailor the process to you, with respect, flexibility and authenticity.
Using a person-centerd and trauma informed approach, I aim to help you discover tools you never knew you had, utilizing integrative methods drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioural therapy, emotion focused therapy, and existential therapy.
Services I Offer
Areas of Focus and Expertise
I have extensive experience supporting adults with developmental disabilities, empowering them to build confidence and independence. At One Tree, I also work with teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma and behavioural concerns. In addition, I provide family therapy for those seeking healthier communication and deeper connection. I am passionate about offering gender-affirming and neurodivergent-affirming therapy, creating a space where identity, culture and lived experience are respected and supported.
Why Choose to Work with Me?
If you’re looking for a therapeutic space that’s warm, professional, inclusive and identity-aware, we may be a good fit. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard and respected. Together we’ll work at your pace, honouring your story and empowering your next steps.
I love seeking out opportunities to learn something new, whether it is from a book, an experience I’ve not yet experienced, or lessons passed down through others. Keeping myself curious maintains my connection to my inner child, something many of us lose as we get older, to our own detriment.
How to Get Started?
I invite you to book a free 15 minute phone consultation to explore if we’re a good match and how we might work together toward clarity, resilience and growth.
