I believe that every person has the keys to their own empowerment and healing and that therapy is a helpful tool in bringing everyone’s unique gifts and personality to the surface so they can live a healthier, happier and more contented life. I prioritize a trauma-informed approach that takes into consideration how our rich and sometimes painful histories and the power dynamics in our external environments impact our current behaviours and relationships. I believe that we are more than any label placed upon us and the key to our healing is in nurturing ourselves and the connections in our lives that allow us to return to nervous system safety.

I have experience working with the following:

-sexual violence/trauma

-criminal victimization

-sex and intimacy issues

-childhood neglect, trauma, and abuse

-addictions

-mental health concerns (primarily anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation)

-intergenerational trauma

-work/life balance

-Religious and spiritual concerns

I am trained in trauma-informed approaches, anti-racism and anti-oppressive frameworks, Solution-Focused Therapy, and enjoy incorporating spirituality into therapy based on individual belief systems. I believe our wellness is reliant on healthy connections and holistic attention to our deepest desires and needs, which will be prioritized in every session.

My name is Logan, and I am a master’s student currently completing my internship with Evolve Counselling & Wellness. I am registered as a student 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.

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.

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 (provisional). 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 am originally born and raised in Regina on Treaty 4 land and belong to White Bear First Nations. My pronouns are she/her, and I am part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

As a social work counsellor my goal is to meet my client exactly where they are at, and I use an eclectic approach of various modalities to do so. I believe we are all complex beings that do not fit into boxes and therefore require an approach to counselling and healing that is just as complex and nuanced as we are! I strive to provide a safe, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and relational based space for you to show up as you are. I will walk alongside you to achieve your goals in personal growth, healing, and in developing a deeper understanding of yourself within your environment or life circumstances.

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:

Behavioral Concerns

Trauma

Works with individuals and couples 18+

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!

Approved Counsellor with Victim Services.
