Hello! My name is Kim Friesen and I have been a Registered Psychologist in Medicine Hat for 10 years. I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a Mom. Sharing your lived experience with someone takes a tremendous amount of courage and your therapeutic journey should be grounded in trust, allowance, and unconditional acceptance.
Using a holistic approach and drawing upon a variety of different forms of therapy, I work collaboratively to address present intrapersonal and interpersonal issues and to heal unresolved relational traumas or ruptures that when untreated can often manifest in other symptoms.
Sharing your story with someone is a privilege to that person and the therapeutic relationship is extremely unique and special. I invite you into that process and hope to make a connection with you.
Kim also provides clinical supervision for both provisional psychologists onsite.

Hello there—I’m Trevor. I believe that life is a journey, one marked by both challenges and triumphs. Healing often means untangling layers of pain and experience, and that process can be difficult—but you don’t have to go through it alone. My mission is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and unwavering support as you move toward healing, self-awareness, and growth.
I work with adults and teens navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, men’s issues, relationships, communication, parenting, substance use, life transitions, stress, and more. I tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual, recognizing that counselling is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re tackling immediate challenges or exploring deeper patterns, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
I have a special interest in working with athletes and first responders—people who live and work under immense pressure. With nearly two decades of law enforcement experience, I understand the toll that high-stress environments can take. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, optimize performance, or recover from trauma, I offer practical strategies to enhance focus, resilience, and overall well-being.
My approach is holistic, honoring the mind-body connection and recognizing the many layers that influence mental health. I draw on evidence-based practices and adapt them to suit your needs and preferences. My work is grounded in authenticity, respect, and a genuine belief in your capacity for change.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a husband, father to two daughters, devoted dog lover, and an outdoor enthusiast. I understand the importance of balance, family, and connection—and I bring that perspective into the work I do with clients.
If you’re ready to begin—or continue—your journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Trevor practices under the supervision of psychologist Kim Friesen
