Meet Dason Harker
I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology. I have been practicing as a Psychologist for over 10 years. My prior experience includes behavior management and life skills training with adolescents in a residential setting, rural mental health, and behavioral health consulting in numerous family physician clinics in Airdrie. I have also participated in hospital inpatient mental health consultations and have been part of a school district threat assessment team.

Counselling Statement
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important ways a counsellor can positively impact an individual's progress in treatment. My goal is to provide a personable, authentic, and relaxed atmosphere where, based on individual needs, I'll include humour and a variety of approaches to help you navigate through your concerns and improve your daily quality of life.
