Meet Janelle Turner
Registered Provisional Psychologist in Alberta | Canadian Certified Counsellor across Canada
Book with Janelle
Whether you’re drowning in postpartum overwhelm or struggling with loneliness no one talks about—I see you. I’ve been in the mental health trenches myself, and I bring both professional expertise and real human understanding to our work together.
Get to know me
New parent feeling like you’re failing? Drowning in loneliness but too ashamed to admit it? Relationship falling apart under the stress? Struggling with your sex life?
Here’s the truth: You’re not failing. You’re overwhelmed. And you deserve support that actually gets it.
I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health for women and families, as well as supporting men who are navigating loneliness and other stigmatized struggles that can feel difficult to voice. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, helping individuals and couples explore concerns related to intimacy, desire discrepancies, sexual functioning, communication, connection, and just simply understanding our bodies better. These are real challenges that too often go unspoken.
What I bring: Warmth, humor when it helps, and lived experience with mental health challenges. I’m not just professionally trained. I also understand personally what it can feel like to struggle, and that shapes how I show up for you.
Whether we’re working individually or as a couple, my goal is simple: to help you feel less alone and more capable of handling what life is throwing at you.
You don’t need to pretend you have it all together. Just show up honestly — nothing is TMI!
My approach
Let’s be real about what therapy actually is.
It’s not about me having all the answers or you being “fixed.” It’s about building a relationship where you can be completely honest—about the hard stuff, the messy stuff, the stuff you’re ashamed of.
How we work:
We start by figuring out what matters most to you right now. Your values, your strengths, what you’re actually trying to create in your life. Then we tackle what’s in the way—whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or the chaos of new parenthood.
I’m collaborative, not prescriptive. I bring warmth and sometimes humor (because sometimes you need to laugh to get through the hard stuff). And I work with both individuals and couples, tailoring everything to what you need.
Less overwhelm. More clarity. Real support.
That’s what we build together.
