Meet D'Anza
I'm D'Anza (pronounced Dee-on-za), a Registered Psychologist in Lloydminster, Alberta where I was born and raised. I began my private practice in 2019 and am passionate about using the therapeutic relationship to help individuals as they seek meaningful change. ​
​
Outside of work I enjoy the peacefulness of living on an acreage, reading a good book, playing music together with my husband, and the spirited entertainment of my cats and dog.

Approach
I believe safety and compassion are two of the most important elements in a therapeutic relationship. All conversations are confidential unless there are safety concerns that legally require me to report. My hope is that you will feel respected and heard as we work together on your desired goals.
​
There are many useful approaches that I may integrate into a session including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Everyone has a different need, so each session is a collaboration between myself and the client to find what works best.
Education
I am a Registered Psychologist (AB #5340) with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I have a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University, a Bachelor of Arts from Athabasca University, and an Addictions Certificate from McMaster University.
​
I also have received specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), grief and loss, addictions, and disordered eating.
