Maddalena Genovese is a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She is a provider for Edmonton Police Services, and she currently divides her time as a psychologist for the University of Alberta's Counselling and Clinical Services and her private practice.
Open-minded and genuine, Maddalena is a compassionate psychologist with a good sense of humour and a direct but kind approach. She has a great deal of specialized training, and is highly experienced in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Since 2011, she has been helping first responders recover from the impact of operational stress injuries, including burnout, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy issues. She has assisted numerous police officers and military members with return to work issues and disability claims, as well as treated symptoms resulting from bullying/harassment, sexual trauma, childhood abuse, and intimate partner violence.
Maddalena believes in the effectiveness of research-supported treatments like Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE) and Cognitive Processing therapy for PTSD (CPT).
Maddalena practices from a culturally sensitive and LGBTQ+ affirmative approach, and she is an approved provider for the Workers Compensation Board (WCB), Veterans Affairs, and the Canadian Forces.
