Dr. Laura Friesen, Registered Doctoral Psychologist

Meet the Psychologist & Practice Owner

Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Friesen, psychologist and founder of Warrior’s Way Psychological Services Inc. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and have been training in psychology since 2010 and have practiced in a range of clinical settings. I’m licensed in Yukon, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories, and can also serve clients in Nunavut, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec under interjurisdictional agreements.

I offer secure, virtual sessions only, from a private professional office.

I currently have limited availability for individual clients (couples and family sessions are full). I work with a variety of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, boundaries, and relationship challenges—using an integrated, strength-based approach. More on that under the Approaches tab.

The best way to reach me is by email:
📧 dr.laura.friesen@warriors-way.ca
I aim to reply within two business days—please check your spam folder just in case.

You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Welcome to the doc’s office: where professionalism meets personality.

  • While my office could say "clinic" or "office," I'm in the "business of relationships" (Malone, 2011) and for me, that means being a genuine human with likes and interests.

  • A peek inside this private space where the time is yours and what you share is confidential.

  • One of my favourite book recommendations and a blanket - a great combo!
