Have drugs and or alcohol become a means of coping with depression, anxiety, grief, or the stressors of daily routine? If you answered "yes" to any of these concerns, then you have made the right pick by being here. Individual counselling involves a one-on-one therapy session between you and a registered psychotherapist like myself.

Couple Counseling; It is a wonderful feeling to be in a relationship with someone that you love or care about. I 'm a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, Registered Professional Counselor, Canadian Clinical Supervisor, & Canadian Certified Addiction Counselor. I have devoted my counseling practice to providing a compassionate, nurturing, and safe environment.
Services
I am a Master practitioner in Clinical Counseling with a private practice in Edmonton, Alberta. I focus on adults and families struggling with mental health issues, ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction, conflict, and relationship issues.

Many practices divide limited attention and resources across many clients; my philosophy has always been one of quality over quantity, devoting the time and attention needed to help clients achieve mental wellness.This does result in my only being able to see a limited number of clients weekly, but the trade-off in specialized attention that I can provide is tremendous.
Individual counselling involves a one-on-one therapy session between you and a registered psychotherapist. Counselling will allow you to confidentially speak with a trained therapist or counsellor who can help you deal with whatever challenges you are facing in your life. The overall goal of individual counselling is to help you overcome your mental health challenges to grow and become a more productive human being in your life.
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluates individuals who have violated a D.O.T. drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations, education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare needed. Addiction does not discriminate, it's hard, and it is a vicious cycle. Addiction can be scary and intimidating to seek professional help, but doing so takes courage and is a better future step.
Outpatient Addiction Treatment; Addiction is one of the things that nobody in the world is immune to. It comes in a wide variety of forms, far from being limited to the sorts of substance addictions commonly associated with the term. This can happen to anyone, as a propensity for addiction is very much part of the human psyche's makeup.
Most of us have gone through the sad feeling of blue moods at one point or the other-the majority of these result from stresses and disappointments in life, illnesses, or other significant losses. Depression shouldn't be falsely taken for the familiar feeling of sadness, bad moods, or feeling down.

I have been overwhelmed with trauma for the longest time. While trying to stay strong, I have struggled to manage everything on my own.
During my sessions, Dr. Bharat Sharma listens with compassion and counsels with wisdom, which is exactly what I need on my journey to wellness. Progressing at an appropriate pace for me, I am optimistic about a positive outcome.

I was looking for a counsellor for my family member and came across this place with great Google reviews. It has the highest and most reviews by far in all across Alberta. I called him and it was really difficult to communicate with him over the phone. I was trained as an intern at university counselling services for a couple years and not sure if he was what his Google reviews seemed to portrait. I went through the website and noticed some odd things, this business was only operated by one person who was a counselor and his schedule was wide open while any other places with almost no reviews were

It has been great to work with Dr. Sharma. My husband and I are communicating better and things are going well. It is nice to be able to do sessions online and still feel the care and compassion come through. I have never had sessions apart during couples therapy and it has been an interesting process. I am free to express my frustrations and pain points and so is my partner. I have found that even though our sessions are not together, we are communicating much better. It is definitely a great way to work though issues in in a safe environment and seems to be working well for us. I am impressed

Very Understanding and patient, unfortunately I am not very far in and cannot yet attest to results, though there has been some progress. doesn't seem to take notes so you might have to repeat yourself session to session.

Had a good experience with bharat. He was very knowledgeable and gave us good guidance. Unfortunately we didn't work out but it really helped us accept and move on in a positive way.

My partner and I carefully chose Edmonton Counselling Services because of their expertise in specific areas. After the first session, it was very clear that we were in the care of a professional who had tremendous expertise in the areas that we were needing the most attention, mediation, and guidance. We have been shown exceptional care, our obstacles have been given full attention and met with insight throughout all of our meetings. After regular visits, we have been able to work through many of our difficulties and rebuild our relationship. We will continue to seek the guidance of Edmonton Counselling

Bharat is amazing! 5 stars hands down, I wish I could give him 10!
Talking to him is like talking to an old friend. He is excellent at helping you feel at ease and putting things in perspective. It doesn't matter what you need to talk to him about, he is open, honest and an all around great guy. I would recommend him to everyone I know!
