Meet Dr. Marjorie Ross

Hi, I’m Dr. Marjorie Ross (she/her), a Registered Psychologist and Therapist in Edmonton. For over 15 years, I’ve been helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges — whether that means managing anxiety, healing from trauma, or building stronger relationships.

I offer a welcoming, inclusive space where you can feel heard, supported, and respected. My goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.

My Approach to Therapy

I offer evidence-based therapy that’s collaborative, respectful and adapted to your specific needs and goals. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and supportive. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow at your own pace.

I draw on various therapeutic approaches, depending on the needs of my clients. These primarily include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy
  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
  • Person-Centered Therapy
  • The Gottman Approach
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Mindfulness
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Emotion-Focused Couples Counselling

Who I Work With

I provide therapy for both individuals and couples, supporting people through a wide range of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and depression – find tools to manage emotions and feel more grounded.
  • Grief and loss – create space to process and heal at your own pace.
  • Life transitions and personal growth – navigate changes with confidence and clarity.
  • Trauma and relationship issues – heal past wounds and build healthy connections.
  • LGBTQIA+ identity support – inclusive therapy that affirms and honors your experience.

If you're seeking clarity, connection, or change — you're in the right place.

Experience and Training

I hold a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta, one of only five programs in Canada accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). As a registered member in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists, I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure I provide the best possible support for my clients. I have pursued specialized training in working with couples, as well as treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I find working in Private Practice is a joy and a privilege — I am continuously in awe of the strength and resilience of individuals, and their capacity for change.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me enjoying time with my two kids, husband, extended family, or friends. I love to be outside and enjoy running, skiing, and hiking whenever I can!

My Values and What Guides My Work

The foundation of my practice is built on values that shape every interaction and session. These values are more than guiding principles — they’re a promise to every client I work with.

Compassion

I believe that healing begins with compassion — both for others and for ourselves. I approach every session with warmth, empathy, and respect, honoring your lived experiences. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

Growth at Your Pace

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Growth takes time, and every person’s journey looks different. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, grief, trauma, or personal transitions, I meet you where you are — and walk with you from there. My goal is to create a space where healing unfolds naturally, without pressure or expectation.

Collaboration

Therapy isn’t something I “do to” clients — it’s something we do together. I collaborate with you to uncover your strengths, clarify your goals, and navigate life’s challenges. Your insights lead the way, and I offer tools, support, and perspective to help you grow with confidence.
