Carli Fredrickson

Carli was born and raised right here in Grande Prairie! Because of this, Carli has an in-depth, personal understanding of the unique culture that is Grande Prairie. She understands the challenges of things like working away from home, long hours and a busy schedule. Carli does her best to accommodate these challenges by offering evening appointments, as well as phone and video sessions. Carli can relate to the community, having volunteered in a variety of settings, including North Reach Society as well as the Salvation Army food bank. She is passionate about the community she calls home, offering the unique ability to be aware of many local resources, understanding the city and the challenges that come with living here.

Carli has a distinctive view on counselling that includes a very holistic view to health, looking at both physical and mental health combined. Carli began her journey to be involved in a helping profession with massage therapy, having practiced relaxation massage for over 8 years locally. Through this, Carli began to discover her passion and interest in clients’ health, as well as making the connection between physical and mental well-being. Carli chose to pursue a career in mental health because of this, knowing it would elevate her ability to offer clients stress relief and relaxation.

Carli works with a variety of demographic of clients including children, youth and adults. Carli’s specialty is in family & youth counselling. This includes working with separated families to create cohesive co-parenting plans, even in the most toxic of co-parenting situations.
