Tamara Hanoski

Families navigating divorce, couples caught in cycles of conflict, children struggling in school, adults carrying the weight of past trauma — these are the people Tamara Hanoski built her practice around. A Registered Psychologist with a master’s and doctorate in counselling psychology from the University of Alberta, Tamara brings more than a decade of registered practice to her Edmonton-based work, shaped by years in hospitals, university counselling centres, and Edmonton Public Schools, where she conducted assessments and crisis intervention with children facing learning and behavioural challenges.

Her focus spans a wide range: she helps individuals, couples, and families work through depression, anxiety, grief, past abuse, eating disorders, relationship breakdown, parenting stress, and postpartum adjustment, among other concerns. She also has substantial experience supporting people who develop depression, anxiety, or driving phobias following motor vehicle accidents. Sibling conflict — a thread she followed through her graduate research — remains a thread in her clinical work today. And in the family sessions she conducts, she often encounters something quietly corrosive: a parent scrolling through dinner, or a fight between partners that started in a text thread and never quite resolved in person.

Tamara describes her style as gentle and caring while still willing to challenge. She sees her role as drawing out what clients already carry — the resilience and capacity for change that she believes are present in everyone — and works to build a therapeutic relationship safe enough for that process to begin. Online sessions are available.
