Hi, I’m Jana-Lyn.

I’m a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) with a Master of Counselling degree, and I work with preteens, teens, and adults in Saskatoon. I approach therapy relationally, with empathy, curiosity, and no judgement. My goal is to make therapy feel as comfortable and accessible as possible—because talking about the complicated stuff is hard enough without feeling like you have to impress your therapist while doing it. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for everyone. Your race, culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship structure, background, or life experiences are all part of the person you are—and you shouldn’t have to leave those parts of yourself at the door when you come to therapy.

I love working with young people (ages 10+). I’ve spent more than a decade supporting teens and young adults, and I genuinely enjoy being invited into that sometimes hilarious, sometimes messy, often confusing stage of life where you’re figuring out who you are, what you need, and where you fit. I also really enjoy working with adults who are navigating the complicated stuff that comes with, well… being an adult.

Maybe you’re overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, burned out, struggling in your relationships, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling like you don’t quite feel like yourself lately. Therapy can be a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and figure out what you want moving forward. I have experience supporting clients with concerns including:

Anxiety Anger Attachment and relationship concerns ADHD Body image Burnout Depression Emotional and mood regulation Self-esteem Self-harm Suicidal ideation Stress and overwhelm Life transitions Coping skills Trauma

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and client-centred—but what does that actually mean? It means I’m not there to tell you what’s wrong with you or hand you a list of things you need to fix all the while holding a clipboard, asking you “how does that make you feel?”

You’re the expert on your own life. My job is to bring the training, experience, curiosity, and therapeutic tools to help you make sense of what’s happening and figure out where you want to go from here. Therapy with me might involve practical skills, uncomfortable conversations, making connections between your past and present, laughing at something that absolutely should not be funny, or realizing that a pattern you’ve been frustrated with actually makes a lot of sense when we understand where it came from.

I draw from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), attachment-focused approaches, and strength-based practices, tailoring our work to you rather than expecting you to fit into one particular therapy box.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You don’t even need to know exactly what’s wrong. You just need to be willing to get curious about what’s happening and what you want to be different.

I acknowledge I live and work on Treaty 6 Territory—the traditional and ancestral land of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Métis nations.

Student Counsellor Works with individuals 16 and older

Healing begins in connection with yourself, your story, and those who walk beside you. My hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, validated, and gently challenged to rediscover who you are beneath the noise and expectations of life. In our work together, we’ll explore the balance between reflection and growth, stillness and change, finding strength in your story and meaning in your becoming.

My approach is based on trauma- and attachment-informed care, guided by compassion, curiosity, and an anti-oppressive lens. I strive to create a space where you can bring your whole self (your culture, gender and sexual identity, abilities, hardships, and dreams) and know that every part of you belongs. Each session is an invitation to slow down, to listen closely to the quiet parts of yourself, and to honour the beauty in your complexity. Healing, to me, isn’t about fixing. It’s about remembering, integrating, and learning to move through the world as your truest self.

i incorporate a blend of evidence-based approaches, each tailored uniquely for you, including:

• Narrative Therapy,

• Solution-Focused Therapy,

• Strengths-Based Therapy,

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT),

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

I support individuals 16 and older who are navigating life’s many chapters, including:

• Anxiety and depression

• Stress and burnout

• Emotional regulation and anger

• Relational challenges (romantic and platonic)

• Self-worth, self-esteem, and identity

• ADHD-related emotional and behavioural difficulties

• Transitions (from high school to university, or into new seasons of life)

• The emotional landscape of entrepreneurship and creative work

At the heart of my work is a deep reverence for your story, for the ways you’ve survived, adapted, and continued to grow. Healing looks different for everyone, but I believe it always begins with courage: the courage to turn inward, to feel, to trust again. Wherever you find yourself in this moment, it would be an honour to walk beside you as you rediscover the truth of who you are.

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.

I also offer parent coaching for caregivers who are struggling with their child’s/teen’s behavior.

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. Neurodivergent affirming. NIHB approved.

Works with individuals 18 and older

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 12 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 - 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.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to tell you who you should be or what you should do, but to create a supportive and collaborative space where we can become curious about your experiences, explore what may be happening beneath the surface, and bring awareness to patterns that may otherwise go unnoticed.

My approach to counselling is trauma-informed, relational, somatic, and individualized. I recognize that our experiences are held not only in our thoughts and stories, but also within our bodies and nervous systems. Sessions may integrate elements of Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Polyvagal-informed practice, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed approaches, depending on your needs, goals, and comfort.

I am also trained and certified in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT), allowing me to support individuals interested in exploring these emerging therapeutic approaches within an appropriately structured, ethical, and collaborative model of care.

I value authenticity, curiosity, humour, and genuine human connection within the therapeutic relationship. Therapy does not always have to feel clinical or formal. Sometimes meaningful change begins with having a space where you can slow down, feel heard, understand yourself differently, and safely explore what has been difficult to carry alone.

I have experience supporting individuals navigating:

● Anxiety, worry, and overwhelm ● Depression and low mood ● Trauma and difficult life experiences ● Addiction and problematic coping patterns ● Stress and burnout ● Life transitions and identity development ● Relationship and attachment concerns ● Difficult family or peer relationships ● Self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence ● Emotional and behavioural difficulties ● Self-harm and emotional regulation ● Grief, loss, and significant change ● Personal growth, self-understanding, and reconnection with self.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, recognizing that therapy looks different for every person and at every stage of life.

Above all, I believe therapy is an opportunity to become more deeply connected with yourself—not by focusing only on what is “wrong,” but by understanding what you have experienced, how you learned to survive it, what your mind and body may still be carrying, and what you would like your life to look and feel like moving forward.

My hope is to provide a space where you can show up authentically, explore without judgment, and move toward greater awareness, connection, and trust in yourself.

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.

Hey! My name is Maddy and I am a Registered Social Worker. I support children (4+), adolescents, and adults in an environment that is warm and welcoming.

I enjoy working with children and supporting them during their formative years. I support children by helping them build a strong foundation in mental health through emotional awareness, psychoeducation, and skill building. I incorporate books, activities, and art into sessions as this is a great way for children to learn! I also take a collaborative approach working with the adults and other professionals who also support the child.

I’m passionate about supporting women who are newly diagnosed with, or questioning, ADHD later in life; creating space to better understand themselves, reduce shame, and develop strategies that actually fit their lives.

In my work with adults, I integrate approaches such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, ACT, and talk therapy, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I believe in your capacity for growth and I will support you every step of the way!

Hey, I’m Jeremiah. I believe many of the struggles people bring to therapy—anxiety, depression, anger, disconnection—aren’t signs that something is wrong with you, but signals about how you’ve learned to relate to yourself and to others. My work is grounded in a non-judgmental, relational approach that focuses on emotional connection, meaning, and choice. I draw primarily from Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma; with couples who want to communicate more clearly and move through conflict in ways that strengthen their relationship; and with families facing transitions or significant relational challenges. As part of this therapy team, I bring a style that is warm, informal, and direct. I value collaboration and believe therapy works best when you feel respected, understood, and actively involved. Humor, curiosity, and creativity often find their way into the room, alongside practical support for real-life relationships. At the core of my work is a belief that change happens in relationship—with ourselves and with the people who matter most to us. Finding the right fit in therapy is important, and I’m always happy to help you explore whether working together feels like the right next step.

Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centered health profession that helps people develop the skills and strategies they need to participate more fully in everyday life. For individuals with mental health needs, OT offers practical tools to support executive functioning, sensory regulation, and emotional well-being—so daily activities feel more manageable and meaningful.

Julie is an occupational therapist specializing in mental health support for neurodivergent individuals, with a particular focus on ADHD management and related executive functioning challenges. Her approach is grounded in the belief that neurodivergence is not something to be “fixed”, but a difference to be understood, supported, and celebrated.

Julie works with clients 18 and older to explore how their unique cognitive processing and sensory needs impact their daily lives. By understanding patterns in attention, memory, emotional regulation, and sensory processing, she helps clients develop practical, sustainable strategies to improve day-to-day functioning at home, work, school, and in relationships.

Using evidence-based, neuro-affirming practices, Julie collaborates with each individual to build structure, reduce overwhelm, and create meaningful routines that honor their strengths and values. Whether you’re navigating burnout, struggling with time management, or looking to improve self-regulation, Julie provides compassionate, individualized support tailored to your goals.

Hi there, I’m Kelsey (she/her) and I am a Registered Social Worker here in Saskatoon. I received my Bachelor of Arts Sociology degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2014, where I focused my studies on child development. I received my Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Regina, in 2017, and am currently completing my Master of Social Work program through the University of Regina.

Hi, my name is Dionne and I’m a holistic wellness practitioner certified in breathwork, EFT Tapping, hypnosis, and coaching. I am a trauma-informed facilitator with experience working with adults and children.

The various trainings I’ve taken have given me a unique understanding and approach to health and wellness. I don’t believe in adding more to an already full plate, instead I focus on understanding the underlying subconscious beliefs and patterns while regulating the nervous system which creates lasting and impactful shifts in clients’ lives. Through my own experience with high-stress, overwhelm, and anxiety, I know first-hand that there is no singular approach to navigating the challenges and changes life throws at us and I believe a collaborative and holistic plan can be incredibly supportive.

I support clients through:

• life transitions and changes

• anxiety

• overwhelm

• perfectionism

• self-confidence

• stress management

In session, we will determine which modality or blend of modalities is the right fit for you and work together to achieve the goals you’ve set out to accomplish.

“If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us walk together.” -Lilla Watson, Aboriginal Wisdom keeper.

The healing journey is diverse, organic, intuitive, and self-guided, and does not happen in isolation. Creating safety in order to heal takes support and connection. We are not problems to be fixed; we are complex beings with infinite potential to thrive in ways that align with our hearts.

I view healing through a holistic lens, acknowledging the inherent wholeness and interconnectedness within each of us. My approach to support is rooted in curiosity and non-judgmental self-observation. I prioritize gathering information to increase our conscious awareness, enabling us to make choices and develop radical self-compassion. My focus is on differentiating learned coping behaviours and our embodied trauma, from our identities and self-worth. I hold deep compassion and acceptance for those struggling with behaviours labelled as addictive and/or compulsive.

If you are seeking support as a unique individual, and hope to gain deeper understandings, while experiencing respite from your internal conditioning, I may be a good fit for partnership. In my practice, I integrate insights from the following:

• Anti-oppressive

• Decolonization (bringing awareness to systemic and familial patterns).

• Compassionate communication (NVC)

• Narrative therapy

• Inclusive spirituality

• Trauma-informed care

• CBT

• Family systems theory

• The Sacred Feminine

• Body Positivity

• And Others

Belonging, purpose, and connection are universal needs that we all share. Disconnecting from ourselves and our world, we lose a sense of belonging and fail to understand who we truly are. Yet often disconnection seems our only choice. We see our relationships lacking ease, safety, and trust. The most common narrative of our dominant culture suggests that we are individually responsible for our suffering. This story is not only flawed but lacking the truth of our deepest needs.

Despite our efforts and active participation in life, we often feel increasingly isolated and directionless. It is important to recognize that our confusion and pain do not solely originate from within ourselves. There are external factors that play a significant role as well. We are influenced by our surroundings and shaped by our experiences, family backgrounds, and the current culture of the world we inhabit today.

Using gentle curiosity to identify and understand the subconscious influences that shape our ideas, habits, and coping mechanisms is empowering. Our cultural, familial, systemic, and personal experiences can all contribute to our struggles, which often stems from a societal culture that fails to meet our authentic human needs. Focus Areas Include:

• Addiction

• Trauma healing

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Interpersonal Conflict

• Spirituality

• Stress/Burn Out

• Self-Esteem

• And Others

Works with individuals and couples 18 and older.

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!
