Ms. Lisa Dyer
(She/Her/Hers)
RSW, BSW
Hi I’m Lisa. I work with individuals 14+ (or all ages within a family session). If you struggle with emotion regulation, anger, anxiety and or sadness I’m here to help. Together we can unpack these emotions and explore the ways they are impacting your life and how to find relief.
My practice is informed by Somatic Experiencing (SE) which aims to gently resolve these aforementioned symptoms of stress that can accumulate in our bodies and nervous systems. Becoming aware of what we feel in our bodies can be a first step towards releasing those feelings and finding relief from the uncomfortable emotions. I am in ongoing SE training and continually learning how to approach counselling in an anti oppressive and decolonized way.
I am an ally in training for IBPOC and 2SLGBTQ+ populations.
Feel free to book a consultation for a quick chat to see if we are a good fit.

Mr. Logan Harland
(He/Him/His)
CCC
My name is Logan, and I have a M.A. in Counselling Psychology. I am a registered member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Although new to the therapy field, I have experience supporting diverse age ranges, cultures, and backgrounds within my previous roles with the Ministry of Social Services, Open Door Society and Learning Disabilities of Saskatchewan.
Saskatoon became my home in 2014 when I was traded to the Saskatoon Blades hockey team. Being exposed to the stressors of elite sports from a young age further inspired me to pursue a career in mental health where I could help individuals deal with similar struggles. With time, I found a passion for supporting more than just athletes, but individuals dealing with various issues including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and eating disorders. I value helping dismantle the gender stereotypes still prevalent within the field of psychology today.
A key component to any therapeutic relationship is trust, communication, and equality. I give precedence to my clients as the experts of their own lives. Together, we can delve into different options or pathways which may prove most suitable for any difficulties you may find yourself battling with. I believe in the promotion of a healthy balance of optimistic thoughts, beliefs, and subsequent actions. I bring a holistic and non-judgmental approach to sessions, where clients can feel comfortable and safe communicating their problems and exploring potential solutions. I have experience using Motivational Interviewing and have grown to appreciate Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Acceptance modalities, and look forward to leaning more into an eclectic approach as I work through the final stages of my post-secondary education.

Curtis Henschel
(He/Him/His)
Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and currently able to offer accessible rates ($50) and sliding scale, so please reach out if you experience barriers to getting help. See below for a link to more information about ART.
I am working to specialize in couples conflict and eager to work with couples, families, adolescents, and adults.
I am a Metis citizen of Saskatchewan, a 2SLGBTQ-affirming student counsellor and training psychologist, and a professor and coach of drama, performance styles, and embodiment techniques. Performance is about becoming what you choose. Many performance techniques are designed to ease anxiety and self-judgement, grow feelings of power, access deepest felt values and goals, and deconstruct conflict. This is one basis of my perspective but my approach is totally flexible and always built with you.
I have research and experience with Indigenous, anti-oppressive, feminist, neuroevolutionary and biopsychosocial counseling. I believe in you and your feelings of safety, security, and ease. Limits are often just limits of belief. And issues and mind-chatter we’ve come to identify ourselves with, are not actually “us.”
My approach is grounded in emotionally focused client-centered therapy with a strong emphasis on personal strengths. I have a foundation in best-practice principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), decolonial and empowerment theories, and performance-based techniques. When working with couples, I blend Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) with client-centered practices like the Gottman Method. I believe change and work can happen in the immediate, short, and long term.
My areas of interest are:
• Couples and relationship conflict • Performance- and drama-based therapy • Trauma resolution (ART) • Depression and anxiety • Grief, death, and existential worries • Body image and muscle dysmorphia • Anger and aggression • Self-harm • Group therapy and circles
I am a student psychologist finishing my practicum for my Master of School and Counseling Psychology (MEd) degree, and look forward to expanding my knowledge of eating and body image disorders, grief, anger, self-harm, and especially high conflict couples and families.
My CCPA membership number is 11253689.

Melissa Hoiness BSW, RSW
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is vital to progress and positive outcomes in therapy and that vulnerability and authenticity pave the way for healing. Therefore, I strive to create a safe, judgement-free environment filled with compassion and empathy, where you feel heard, valued, understood, and accepted. I work together with my clients to create priorities, goals, and treatment plans that are individualized to your specific needs because there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” approach. You are the expert in your own life and my goal is to empower you to let your intuition lead the way to healing, change, and resolution. I gravitate towards a holistic approach that focuses on the mind-body connection. Together, we will look at various aspects of your life to improve your overall mental health and wellness. I have over 10 years experience as registered social worker in health care, which includes counselling for complex medical issues, advocacy, and navigating the health care system. Although I work with people from all walks of life, I have a special passion and interest in supporting those who are struggling with infertility as well as providing support to caregivers and older adults.
I have experience working with the following: - Infertility & pregnancy loss - Narcissistic & antagonistic abuse - Anxiety - PTSD & Trauma - Suicidal ideation & self-harm - Life transitions - Caregiver stress/burnout & elder care - Stress related to complex medical issues or a new diagnosis - Interpersonal conflict - Grief, bereavement & loss - General life stressors
Some of the approaches I may use during our sessions include attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, polyvagal informed therapy, trauma informed therapy, and person centered therapy. I also believe that psychoeducation is an important part of therapy and I will provide you with tools and knowledge you can use outside of the therapy office.

(She/Her/Hers)
Works with adolescents and adults.
As a registered dietitian, I know that nutrition plays a role in our overall wellness. I also know that our relationship with food plays as important a role as the nutrients we eat! I’ve spent a lot of time researching and learning about how humans eat and the role it plays in our health. It’s your body and you know it best, but I’m here to help you navigate the complex waters that are food and nutrition. I love working with people to break out of chronic dieting cycles, those with binge eating and other disordered eating patterns. I am profoundly anti-diet and weight inclusive. I think the behaviours we adopt matter more than the weight on the scale. I can help you manage chronic diseases (like diabetes, high cholesterol, IBS, and more) in a way that doesn’t trigger disordered eating patterns. I promise to meet you where you are and work with you to make the changes you wish to see.

Welcome! I’m Lana, a registered psychologist. I am passionate about mental health and wellness. As someone who has experienced their own struggles with anxiety and depression, I am familiar with how challenging it can be when your mental health isn’t at its best, and how helpful having support can be. I strive to make my clients feel seen, heard, and understood using a non-judgemental, supporting approach. I strongly believe that the earlier we can learn emotional regulation and coping skills the better we can manage the many stresses of life. This is one one of the many reasons I choose to provide individual counselling to children 6 years and older. I believe it’s never too early or too late to learn these skills!
Largely guiding my practice, is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I also incorporate aspects of solution-focused therapy, person-centred therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy with adolescents and adults, while incorporating aspects of play therapy and art with my work with children.

As a clinical social worker, I often share that I wouldn’t ask anyone to venture into territory I haven’t explored myself. I’ve actively sought my own path of therapy, embracing the experiences that therapy entails. I believe in the importance of ongoing self-care, which is why I continue to seek guidance from my own therapist. This practical experience, along with my educational background, ensures that, as a therapist, I’m attuned to my own needs, enabling me to be more present and empathetic for those I guide on their own journeys.
I work with a passion for guiding individuals towards emotional growth and change that reflects their wants and needs. I have an understanding that not every individual is the same, and all humans have different experiences, and responses to life. I establish trust and a nonjudgmental atmosphere. I gear towards active listening in order to deeply comprehend the concerns and needs of the individuals I see, fostering a strong therapeutic bond. With a nonjudgmental attitude, I will embrace individuals for who they are. Come on in, and let’s take this walk together.
My approach to therapy is a strength-based, intricate blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. This integrative approach allows me to provide my clients with a holistic and tailored treatment experience that addresses their unique needs and challenges. By blending these modalities, I create a therapeutic space that is dynamic, compassionate, and personalized. This approach allows me to guide clients on a multifaceted journey of self-discovery, insight, and transformation. Together, we navigate the complexities of your emotions, uncover the layers of your experiences, and equip you with the tools and perspectives needed to live a life you want.
My experiences are, but not limited, to:
Anxiety
Depression
Anger Management
Behavioral Concerns
Trauma
Stress
Men and mental health
Gender stigma
Self-harm
Suicidal ideation
Communication
Difficulty of peer and/or family relationships

I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate and nurturing environment in which clients feel supported and safe in exploring their concerns. One of my guiding principles as a therapist is my belief that the client is their own greatest asset. No one gets to where they are without developing a tremendous array of strengths, skills and resiliencies along the way. It can be very exciting to guide clients through the process of uncovering their own innate wisdom, their own strengths, engaging these to greater effect, and learning new strategies as we progress. This journey often includes the work of processing emotions, and untangling, organizing and understanding your story in a way that frees you to incorporate more ease, meaning, and peace into your life. I work from a client-centred, trauma-informed, and holistic perspective, and believe in meeting you where you are, while also promoting change, and working toward the goals that you currently deem meaningful. As a Registered Nurse who has been practicing in the field of mental health for over 35 years, I bring a broad range of education and experience to my practice. I have experience working with:
Trauma
Anxiety
Depression
BPAD
Schizophrenia
Suicidal Ideation
Relationship issues
Couples
Stress
Communication issues
Life Transitions
In my practice I draw from many modalities and trainings. Some of these include CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Critical Incident Stress Management, Traumatic Event Systems, Sexual Assault Response, Mindfulness, and Emotional Freedom Technique (“Tapping”). A core approach throughout my practice is incorporating techniques and approaches that support and strengthen the connection between the mind and the body. Some of my most profound learning however, has been from clients themselves. It is a great privilege to walk with people through some of their most challenging times, to be entrusted with their stories, their vulnerabilities, to witness their strength, and to be a part of helping them to build a life worth living. I welcome the chance to work with you!
