Hello and thank you for being here.

My name is Jillian and I am the owner and founder of Align Psychology. I am a registered psychologist (#4526) with the College of Alberta Psychologists and I am a member of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. I also hold registration authorizing interim autonomous practice with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. This means I am licensed to practice with those residing in both Alberta and Ontario.

Since I was a teenager, I’ve known I wanted to become a psychologist. I’ve always been drawn to meaningful conversations, understanding human behaviour, and exploring ways to foster self-awareness, well-being, and authentic connection with others. This passion guided my studies, leading me to earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Lethbridge and a master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University.

For the past 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adolescents, adults, and families across non-profit and public mental health settings. My experience includes working in schools, residential and day treatment programs, and outpatient care. Much of my work has focused on eating disorders, where I provided meal support, Family Based Treatment (FBT), and individual, group and family therapy.

My therapeutic approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Based Treatment (FBT), and intuitive eating principles. I aim to create a compassionate, inclusive, and non-judgmental space, working from a weight-neutral, anti-diet perspective while incorporating mindfulness, self-compassion, and a focus on alignment and connection with self.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my husband and three children. I love being outdoors, soaking up sunshine, practicing Pilates, camping, reading, and listening to podcasts.
