Warm Greetings!
I have been teaching psychology (full-time) at various Canadian universities for a very long - since 1999. I arrived at U of L from overseas where I was a professor at Zayed University, in the Middle East, to accept an appointment to teach in the Graduate Counsellor Education program. I have earned tenure as an Associate Professor. I hold a M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Calgary. I am a registered psychologist (clinical specialty), an approved supervisor for provisional psychologists, and served as an ethics examiner for the College of Alberta Psychologists for nearly 10 years. I have a long history of helping family violence agencies refine and enhance their ethical practice as well as provide support when they are navigating complex ethical dilemmas.
* WHAT DO I DO AT U OF L? I feel honoured to spend the majority of my teaching time in the Master of Counselling blended training program. It is an excellent training program for those interested in becoming counsellors/ psychologists who are not able to attend classes on campus except during the summer. Admission requirements vary, but it is NOT necessary to hold an undergraduate degree in psychology. However, you need to have strong writing skills, a love for reading, and extensive "life" experience to demonstrate you have exceptional interpersonal skills with a variety of age groups and have very good emotionally regulation skills. For more information, please go to the link--> https://www.ulethbridge.ca/future-student/graduate-studies/master-counselling
* WHAT COURSES DO I TEACH? I suspect I have likely taught most of the common graduate counsellor courses (& prior to coming to U of L many of the typical undergraduate psychology courses). For the last decade, I tend to teach graduate counselling courses that focus on process skills such as group therapy as well as the general and advance practicum seminars. I also teach the advance professional counselling ethics course. I also enjoy supervising thesis and project students as well as helping with independent study courses.
WHAT ELSE DO I DO?
1. RESEARCHER and AUTHOR/SPEAKER: I am an active writer (based on my research interests) and an international speaker.
2. COMMUNITY SERVICE: I enjoy serving on a number of boards/committees to support the university (e.g., union service such as Shop Steward and grievance committees; PAR status and promotion committees; student appeal committees) and helping counselling and/or social service agencies (e.g., I was co-chair of training/development for the Canadian Group Psychotherapy Association for three years; I frequently help family violence shelters in Alberta and on the east coast).
3. SUPERVISION DUTIES: I provide supervision to thesis students and provisional psychologists in Alberta using a variety of communication formats. I also supervise projects in the M.C. program.
4. THERAPIST: To "practice what I teach", I maintain a small private counselling practice in Lethbridge. I work, on a sliding scale, with a broad spectrum of presenting problems with specialization in trauma, family violence (perpetrators & victims), self-harm, and severe mental health issues such as OCD, personality disorders & eating disorders. I am currently not accepting clients.
** I am frequently asked: What is my counselling orientation? I classify myself as a relational psychodynamic therapist, using Transactional Analysis theory as well as attachment theory to promote awareness and invite change. I also actively integrate CBT, Narrative, EMDR, Expressive Creative Arts, Mind-Body therapies (e.g., Somatic Experiencing) and Solution Focused therapies into my session work. I also have a great fondness for teaching group therapy, particularly process based groups - a "then and now" approach.
5. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: I frequently attend international conferences as a presenter/participant to stay current in the helping professional field. I like to attend at least 2-3 weekend therapy training workshops a year (e.g., Somatic Experiencing, expression arts therapy, etc.).

Biography
Dr. Dawn McBride is a senior, tenured associate professor in the graduate counsellor education program at the University of Lethbridge. She is also a registered psychologist, a supervisor for provisional psychologists, and a former ethics examiner for the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP). She has won numerous teaching awards and is an active volunteer in the community. She is an international speaker, researcher, and writer. Her specialty areas for teaching and research include: (a) the advance study of counselling ethics; (b) clinical psychology, integrating a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, attachment perspective into her work, especially with complex mental health issues such as personality disorders and DID; (c) teaching and using processed based therapies, including group therapy (for all ages) focusing on a stage model of growth where processing using expressive arts and somatic techniques are highly valued; and lastly, (d) training counsellors in the art and science of clinical supervision.
In addition, to ensure she remains aware of trends in the field and practices her skills, she is the owner of a small private practice in Lethbridge where she specializes in complex cases (she offers a generous sliding scale). She tends to practice from a psychodynamic orientation (e.g., ego state models including transactional analysis, believing our past influences our choices today) and frequently draws upon expressive arts, EMDR (Laurel Parnell's style), CBT (schema focused), narrative therapy, as well as somatic interventions.

Research Interests
MY AREAS OF INTEREST EVOLVE AROUND THESE PRIMARY THEMES (these are areas that I tend to read about, treat clinically, and/or are topics that I am interested in supervising for students' projects/theses):
(A) advance ethical practice in counselling - focusing on relational consent, using transparent session notes, and resolving complex ethical dilemmas in the field (teaching, counselling, research, businesses). In addition, I am dedicated to helping non-profit agencies develop and refine their code of ethics and standards of practice.
(B) clinical psychology issues pertaining to all ages (e.g., ethics; trauma; self-harm behaviors including disordered eating; positive discipline methods in the classroom; clinical supervisor/supervisee issues; creative art therapy; crisis management to psychodynamic theories/treatment; premarital therapy; and treating most DSM issues including complex disorders such as dissociative identity disorder and personality disorders).
(C) special interest in ego state therapies - particularly Transactional Analysis, applied to supervision, organizational psychology, ethics, and counselling practices (for group, 1:1, couples, and training of counselling students).
(D) supervision practices - for therapists and counselling students (e.g., focusing on developmental models of supervision, promoting high ethical practice, and supervisor-supervisee dynamics).
(E) program development and evaluation, including creating/offering group therapy programs.
(F) teaching and supervising group therapies, with a focus on integrating expressive arts, culturally sensitive, and attachment theory into the practice of group therapy, and
(G) I notice I am increasingly becoming interested in learning how to protect professors' mental health as their work demands increase as well as explore the pressures professors may be facing to reduce their expectations of students (e.g., workload & assessment practices).
