Rume Dedekuma (He/Him), Registered Provisional Psychologist
Aponi Counselling
Welcome! My name is Rume, and I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I have spent nearly a decade in the mental health field, where I have supported individuals on their journeys toward wellness. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in fostering growth and resilience, grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I am committed to empowering you with knowledge and support as we navigate life's complexities.
My practice specializes in trauma and resilience to assist individuals in transcending beyond coping! Together, we can move beyond simply surviving to create a future where we and our communities can flourish. This space is for healing and building resilience. I will work with you towards envisioning and embodying a life of wholeness, joy, and liberation—both individually and collectively.
We will collaborate to address your needs, establish actionable steps, and cultivate self-awareness. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and integrative; this means that depending on your needs, I may incorporate techniques from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and various mindfulness practices.
I aim to meet you where you are, with a commitment to decolonizing therapy and providing a space that is inclusive and affirming of all identities and cultures.
I offer a complimentary consultation, up to 45 minutes in length, to provide you with answers about what our journey together might look like.

Personal Interests:
I enjoy listening to music and curating playlists to suit every mood I might experience. When the music slaps, dancing often follows. But more often than not, running is my preferred way of staying active. I love watching football (soccer) and cheering for Liverpool F.C. Spending time with my family, friends, and my cat Sophie brings me great joy.
