I’m Lisa Kimmerly, Counselling Therapist and Addiction Counsellor with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta (ACTA) #1153 and a Certified Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Practitioner.

My office is located in the peaceful town of Devon, Alberta, and is designed to feel like home, allowing you to relax and truly be yourself. My approach is casual, authentic and personalized to your needs.

  • Nighttime landscape with star-filled sky over a mountain, with a lake and trees in the foreground.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Self-worth
    Low self-worth creates mental and emotional blocks that keep painful memories locked in, making true healing difficult. By addressing self-worth with ART, you can consciously recognize that you are worthy of healing.

  • Nighttime landscape of a mountain with a starry sky and the Milky Way, reflected in a body of water, with trees in silhouette in the foreground.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Anxiety or panic
    When your mind won’t slow down and your body feels constantly on edge, ART helps calm your nervous system so you can feel safe again, from the inside out.

  • Nighttime landscape with a mountain, a calm lake, and a star-filled sky with the Milky Way.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Depression or low mood
    If you’re feeling numb, unmotivated, or like the heaviness never lifts, ART helps you reconnect with yourself and create real momentum forward.

  • Nighttime landscape with a starry sky and the Milky Way visible, a mountain with some snow patches, a lake reflecting the mountain, and silhouetted trees in the foreground.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Traumatic memories or flashbacks
    You don’t have to relive the pain to heal from it. ART gently helps your brain release the emotional weight of trauma without needing to talk through every detail.

  • Nighttime landscape featuring a star-filled sky, the Milky Way galaxy, a mountain, trees, and a calm body of water reflecting some of the scene.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Grief and loss
    Whether it’s a person, a season, or the life you imagined, grief is complex. ART makes space for what you’re carrying and helps soften the sharp edges.

  • Starry night sky over a mountain range with a lake and trees in the foreground.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Relationship issues or emotional triggers
    When the same patterns keep showing up in relationships, ART helps untangle the past from the present so you can respond, not react.

  • Night landscape with star-filled sky over mountains, trees, and a body of water.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Performance anxiety or burnout
    For athletes, professionals, or anyone under pressure, ART targets the stress beneath the surface so you can show up with more clarity and calm.

  • Nighttime view of tall mountain with snow patches, silhouetted trees, and calm water in foreground, under a star-filled sky with visible Milky Way galaxy.

    ART might be for you if you’re experiencing…

    Addictions
    When coping mechanisms start to feel like chains, ART helps address the root of the pain, so you can move toward healing with more freedom and self-compassion.
