Registered Provisional Psychologist
I’m Tara Murphy, a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Edmonton at One Tree Psychological and Therapeutic Services. I believe mental health care is an essential part of wellness, much like visiting your family doctor, and I’m honoured to support you on your journey toward wholeness, at whatever stage you’re at.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is grounded in client-centred, acceptance-based therapy, combined with cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused methods. I tailor our work to your current needs, always emphasizing your strengths and meeting you where you’re at. I view therapy through a culturally responsive and social justice lens, honouring how identity, culture and systemic factors impact mental wellbeing. I’m also trained in Eye‑Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1 & 2) to support trauma healing, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
