Cherise Gardipee - Registered Psychologist

Meet Cherise…

Hello!

I’m Cherise Gardipee, a Registered Psychologist, practicing in Stony Plain and Drayton Valley. Throughout my career, I have had the great pleasure of supporting individuals and their families impacted by mental health issues, experiences of trauma, grief, loss, divorce, addiction, and challenging relationships.

I have spent time living and working in Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Calgary, Fort McMurray, and in the great white north of Canada within isolated communities. My practice has evolved over the past 18 years of working with children, adolescents, adults and families, with ongoing specialized training and capacity building. I have a passion for advocacy in regards to children, youth and their families, dedicating much of my work towards inclusive services for all individuals to meet their mental health needs, as well as their community’s needs.

When I am not at work, you can find me exploring the great wonders of the world, traipsing around the backyard with my three furry dogs and attending music festivals.
