Looking for the right psychologist ?
Life can feel overwhelming — especially when you're carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain. If you've been searching for support but aren't sure where to start, you're in the right place. This post introduces Dr. Manju Mathew, a Registered Psychologist based in Edmonton, Alberta, and explains the unique, collaborative approach she brings to every therapy session.
Meet Dr. Manju Mathew
Dr. Manju Mathew is a doctoral-level Registered Psychologist practicing in Edmonton, Alberta, at Turning Point Wellness Hub. She holds two master's degrees and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and she brings over two decades of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys.
In addition to her doctoral training, Dr. Mathew is a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and a Certified Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) therapist — two of the most well-researched, evidence-based approaches for trauma recovery. She is also trained in a wide range of other therapeutic modalities, including CBT, ACT, DBT, and EFT, allowing her to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs.
The Co-Pilot Approach: You're Always in the Driver's Seat
What truly sets Dr. Mathew apart is her co-pilot philosophy. At the heart of her practice is a simple but powerful belief: you are the expert of your own life.
Think of your wellness journey like a road trip. You decide the destination. You set the pace. Dr. Mathew sits beside you as your co-pilot — offering guidance, insight, and a safe space to explore — but the wheel is always in your hands. This is not about someone telling you what to do or where to go. It's about having a trusted, experienced ally right there beside you as you navigate the road ahead.
"It's not about giving up control. It's about gaining a powerful ally."
This approach means that therapy with Dr. Mathew is a true partnership. Sessions are collaborative, personalized, and built around your specific goals and experiences.
A Holistic, Human Approach to Therapy
Dr. Mathew's practice goes beyond clinical techniques. She weaves in practical tips, cultural insights, and heartfelt stories to make therapy feel less like a procedure and more like a deeply human experience. Whether you are working through past trauma, managing anxiety, coping with depression, or living with chronic pain, her goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and compassionate space where you feel genuinely seen and supported.
Her holistic approach means she looks at the whole person — not just the presenting problem — and works with you to build a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs.
