Other Feminist Psychologists & Social Workers in Edmonton

These symbols represent that the practitioner has specifically identified themselves as
a) being poly-friendly b) working from a Health at Every Size Approach or c) being a registered provider with FNIHB. I want to note that just because a practitioner does not have these symbols beside their name doesn't mean that they aren't these things - it may be that I don't know about it, or forgot to ask. Please make sure to check in with each therapist directly about what you're looking for. I'm hoping that this page may be a starting place to guide you.
