About Zone Psychology
Finding a treatment that works for a mental condition is not always easy. Pharmaceutical treatments might work for some individuals, but may not be perfectly suited for you or your family.
Welcome to Zone Psychology - Your Edmonton based psychologists.
We are dedicated to finding the right treatment for you.
Living with a mental condition can be difficult, frustrating and exhausting for you and your family. School can be a headache, work can be difficult, and relationships can be strained to the point of breaking.
Finding a treatment that works for mental conditions like depression, anxiety disorder or attention deficit disorder is not always easy. There are many types of therapies to choose from. Some work well for others, but may not be quite right for you. What makes us different is that we utilize a combination of comprehensive assessment procedures and innovative treatment techniques including Biofeedback & Neurofeedback, Audio-Visual Entrainment Therapy, Cognitive-Perceptual Training and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. All of these approaches are completely drug-free, non-invasive and backed by years of scientific research.
For more information, please visit our services – and always feel free to contact us.
