About Me
Jasmine Fulks, BA, MC, R.Psych
I'm a Registered Psychologist in private practice centrally located in Edmonton. I have a passion for helping people work through the challenging times in their lives, and a deep respect for the courage each client shows when they enter my office. I use a person-centered therapeutic approach to assist clients in their movement towards wellness and growth.
I have over 15 years of experience in human services and mental health, with an extensive background in working with youth and adults who have experienced abuse and trauma.
I have training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Prolonged Exposure (PE).
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss
Services Offered
Individual Therapy - Adults (18+)
I'm experienced in working with a multitude of issues and concerns including addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, OCD, personal growth and development, self-esteem and self-confidence issues, and stress management. I utilize a variety of tools and approaches to help you achieve your goals.
Trauma & Abuse
I am highly experienced in providing trauma-focused treatment to resolve and heal a variety of traumatic experiences including sexual, attachment, chronic, childhood, and/or singular incidents. I believe in building on the strength and courage that each individual possesses. I am able to diagnose and treat PTSD, and am specifically trained in trauma-focused approaches such as Prolonged Exposure and EMDR.
Military, Veterans, Paramedics, Firefighters
I have special interest and training in working with those who devote their lives to helping others and their family members. I have knowledge of and appreciation for the unique cultural differences of these populations, including the difficulties many face when reintegrating back into civilian life and/or the increased risk of trauma and PTSD.
Self-Harm
I work collaboratively with individuals who engage in self-harming behaviour to help them develop alternative tools to manage their emotions. I strive to create a space where we can explore the underlying issues and unmet needs that may drive urges to self-injure.
2SLGBTQIA+
I welcome all people in my practice regardless of sexual or gender orientation, and am familiar with the struggles people in the LGBTQ2SA+ community often encounter. While I never assume that the reason for seeking counselling is related to these issues, I will always offer a safe, informed, and non-judgmental space in which to learn new strategies to cope with life's challenges.
Emotional Dysregulation
I have experience in working with individuals who struggle with emotional dysregulation, including those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I use a variety of modalities and practical skill-building strategies to assist in the management of emotional distress, reduction of emotional intensity, and improvement of interpersonal relationships. I draw from CBT, DBT, and interpersonal skills to treat emotional dysregulation.
Fertility Issues and Struggles
I can provide an informed, safe space to explore the emotional and psychological impact that fertility difficulties can cause, including frustration, helplessness, depression, anxiety, guilt, and/or a sense of worthlessness.
Pre-Marital Couples Counselling
Research shows that couples come to therapy about six years after they start to experience serious issues in their relationship. I offer couples counselling for those about to embark on the journey of marriage, or for those who want to enhance their current relationship. I am passionate about enhancing healthy and respectful relationships and am committed to helping partners develop healthy communication and conflict resolution tools, while maintaining a deep connection with each other. I am a Level 1 and 2 Gottman-trained couples therapist and welcome all forms and expressions of relationships.
Secure Online Video
For those with reduced mobility, limited access to transportation, and/or who live in rural areas, I am able to provide therapy via secure, online video to promote equal access to care for all Albertans.
Direct-Billing
I offer direct-billing for most insurance companies including: Alberta Blue Cross, Co-Operators, Great-West Life, GreenShield, Medavie Blue Cross, and Veterans Affairs. Please contact me for more information.

COVID-19
Relaunch information
On May 14th, 2020 – Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer announced the start of Stage 1.
As part of the Stage 1 Re-opening, beginning May 18th, 2020, I will resume providing in-person services to those who are healthy, who have not been exposed to anyone else with COVID-19 symptoms, and who have not travelled outside of the country in the 14 days preceding their appointment.
NOTE: SecureVideo sessions are still the safest method of providing therapy and will remain available to any client who would prefer to continue online sessions even after the office has re-opened.
If you would like to attend in-person sessions, please contact me.
The following precautions will be implemented upon reopening of the office:
High-contact surfaces will be disinfected after each in-person client (such as doorknobs, chairs, couches, tables, coffee supplies, credit machines).
Seating in the waiting area and in all individual therapy offices has been rearranged to adhere to physical distancing requirements.
You may request that I wear a face mask during our session.
A brief screening assessment will be conducted with each client upon arrival, including a contactless temperature reading. I will complete this screening procedure for myself at the start of each day as well.
Please observe the following safety precautions upon arrival to your session:
Please do not arrive more than five minutes before your scheduled appointment time. You may also opt to wait outside the building or in your car and receive a text to come in when the office is completely re-sanitized.
Wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer immediately upon arrival to your appointment.
Review screening criteria in the confirmation email the day of your appointment and inform me immediately of any concerns.
Cover all coughs and sneezes.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands and re-sanitize immediately if you do touch your face.
Stay at home and away from others and request an online session instead if you feel ill or have any symptoms associated with COVID-19.
