Bryan Austin - R.Psych.

  • Bryan Austin completed a master’s degree in School and Counseling Psychology, and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Psychology. In May of 2015 Bryan became a Registered Psychologist with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists and registered as a psychologist in the NWT in October of 2015. Bryan has called Yellowknife home since. Bryan is a member of the Canadian Psychological Association and the Association of Psychologists of the Northwest Territories.

    Bryan’s approach to counselling is grounded in client centered principals of warmth, genuineness, non-judgment, and unconditional positive regard. Bryan also utilizes a trauma informed approach to his work, giving attention to what happened to a person, in order to understand current functioning and challenges. Bryan takes an integrative approach to counselling and treatment. Approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

    Through formal assessment Bryan specializes in the diagnoses and treatment of Intellectual Disabilities, Specific Learning Disorders, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders. He has extensive experience working with adolescents. Bryan is trained in the use of the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT). NMT is a developmentally sensitive, neurobiology-informed approach to clinical problem solving. It is an approach that integrates core principles of neurodevelopment and traumatology to inform work with children, families and the communities in which they live.

    Bryan is excited to utilize and expand upon his experiences by offering psychological services to the NWT as a resident of the NWT. He looks forward to helping clients address their concerns, overcome their struggles, help them to grow, and to reach their individual goals.

  • Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your path? I help clients align with their true selves to live an authentic, fulfilling life.

    I'll help you navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and any other challenges you may have. I help clients align with their true selves, free from the judgments of their minds, so they can live authentically and with greater ease. My approach is compassionate and culturally sensitive, with a sprinkle of humour and fun.

    My goal is to create a space where you can explore, heal, and grow—free from judgment and full of possibility. Together, we’ll address what’s holding you back, break free from limiting patterns, and create a life filled with purpose and peace.
