Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP)
Hi! My name is Tabitha MacPherson, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Alberta. I enjoy working with people and walking along side them through their journey in therapy, whatever that may be. I prioritize creating a warm, genuine, and safe space so that we can work on your goals collaboratively.
I appreciate that people are at different places in their journey. Some people may come to therapy with a long term goal of deep exploration and healing, and some may come with a goal that is more immediate and short term. I look forward to working with your goals whatever they may be.
​
Some areas of interest that I enjoy working with include, but are not limited to, chronic pain, trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, those experiencing/ed intimate partner violence, grief and loss, relationship issues, life transitions, and stress.
​
I am Manitoba born. I believe that my second calling is cooking and being a foodie. I enjoy spending time with my family, going for walks with my dog, and tapping in to my creativity with painting and crafts.
​
I look forward to connecting with you!
