"Like a plant that grows gradually, we must take small, consistent steps toward our goals. Growth does not happen overnight; it is the result of nurturing and time."
~ Catherine Pulsifer
Pulsifer reminds us that personal growth is a gradual process, much like the natural growth of a plant. Every small step counts toward reaching our full potential.
At Lumos Psychological we offer individual therapy and assessment services, as well as a variety of group programs where clients can connect with others and learn new ways to interpret and respond to challenges in their lives. Our emphasis is less on skills and strategies, and more on creating strong therapeutic relationships that help our clients grow into the whole authentic people they were meant to be"
About
Brea Malacad
Brea has been working with children and families for 20 years, and has been a practicing psychologist for over 10 years. She has a wealth of experience in this field and was named one of Avenue Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 for her work in youth mental health. Brea worked for a long time offering "strategies" to school staff, parents and children who felt alone and under stress. She sensed the need for something different, but had not yet discovered the language of trauma and attachment that now shapes her worldview and informs her professional practice. She has learned that people don't really need strategies. They need safety, authentic connection, and support to explore and process their experiences. Brea is passionate about helping people know and love themselves more fully and heal in their core relationships.
