Emily Drzymala MSW, Ph.D. (Ed) RSW
Please join us in welcoming Emily Drzymala (pronounced jim-all-ah). Emily is excited about serving you along with our team that includes chiropractic, naturopathy and massage therapy. Dealing with the whole person has been a lifelong passion for Emily, beginning in her family of origin where two of her siblings had congenital conditions. Two car accidents as an adult led her to personally receive and appreciate the value of integrating allopathic and non-allopathic therapies.
Emily holds both a bachelor and a masters degree in social work and a Ph.D. in professional collaboration. Her background includes teaching in post-secondary institutions, research, management, clinical social work practice and health education. A parent to three adult children, Emily enjoys being active and re-energized by the vitality of her eight grandchildren.
Emily's contribution to our team is in facilitating our client's emotional wellness. Her approach is based on building on strengths and on the inescapable link between attitudes, feelings and behaviour. In these times with the rapid pace of daily living, evolving roles and composition of families and relationships, and anticipated or current work related stress we can easily lose sight of our strengths as an untapped resource for enhancing and enriching our lives. An Emotional Wellness consultation often has to do with a "tune up" to assess, acknowledge, reflect and make renewed choices about our attitudes, feelings and behaviours.
As a Registered Social Worker in the Province of Alberta, Emily's fees are included in most private health care benefit plans.
One-hour consultations with Emily can be booked here.
If you are thinking about a consultation or have questions prior to making an appointment, you can contact Emily directly by email at: emilykd@shaw.ca.
Welcome to our team, Emily!
