Meet Adam Elkestawi

MA, Provisional Psychologist (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

Alberta

 Headshot of Adam Elkestawi.
I am a Provisional Psychologist with a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I have worked for over 10 years in various areas of mental health, including individual and group counselling, community outreach, and implementing Client-Centered treatment programs that promote social and psychological wellbeing. For 5 years, I have worked with vulnerable adults, providing housing options, crisis and trauma counselling, and suicide intervention.

​More recently, I have focused on working with youth and young adults who have diverse behavioural and mental health concerns, providing support in developing day-to-day living skills, psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused interventions. 
I have experience working in a variety of settings, such as shelters, detox treatment facilities, outreach programs, group homes, and housing facilities. My extensive experience includes helping individuals with anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma, and integrating a biopsychosocial and holistic approach to psychology. I enjoy understanding people and appreciate brainstorming solutions to complex problems.

I draw from Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and CBT approaches, along with Jungian, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Existential Therapy treatment modalities. When working with couples and families, I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method therapeutic approaches to help clients build solid and secure relationships.
I especially appreciate the power of mindfulness practices that help individuals focus on the present moment, and I enjoy implementing this approach in my practice. I also integrate narrative therapy because I am passionate about storytelling as a creative way to solve problems. 

​I believe this type of therapy is a powerful tool for empowering individuals to take ownership of their journey, heal, and inspire others by recognizing their resilience and triumphant moments of growth.
