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)
MACP, CCC
In 2014, my life took a turn when I was traded to the Saskatoon Blades. The pressures of elite sports at a young age took a toll on my mental health. Growing up on a traditional farm with little resources, I had no understanding of mental health and how to cope with my struggles in an appropriate way. Although this led me down a personally-dark path, I grew an eventual passion for helping others navigate their own challenges in a healthy way.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling psychology. Thus far, I have had the privilege of supporting diverse individuals within our community, particularly those facing athletic pressures, work stress, relationship difficulties, accountability issues, goal-setting challenges, anger, bullying, anxiety, depression, and self-harm.
I commit myself to creating a safe space for everyone, regardless of their sexuality, culture, gender, religious beliefs, or preferred pronouns. I believe in building trust, open communication, and fostering an environment of equality. I pride myself on my non-judgmental listening, honesty, positivity and empathy, creating a space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves. I utilize techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs.
I work with individuals aged 12 and older, offering both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. If you’re seeking support, please reach out: admin@evolvecounsellingyxe.com or (639) 384-7674.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lana McAleer M. Ed., Registered Psychologist
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 trauma-informed, non-judgemental 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!
The basis of my therapeutic approach is to be trauma-informed and client specific, meaning that I take into consideration each client’s circumstances when recommending a therapeutic approach. The two main therapeutic approaches I use with adolescents and adults are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Whereas with children the main therapeutic approaches I utilize are Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, while incorporating art and books. If counselling is something you have been considering for yourself or your child, I am happy to be part of your counselling journey!

RD
Works with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Hi, my name is Cassidy and I am a registered dietitian. My goal in my practice is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel respected and heard. My services include helping clients manage chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood lipids, heart disease, irritable bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease), and more. I also counsel individuals and families to help them address picky eating and weight concerns.
I follow a client-centered approach in my practice, meaning I meet individuals where they are at in their nutrition journey and collaborate to create personalized goals that fit with their lifestyles. I allow my clients to lead each session in a way that addresses their concerns and leaves them feeling satisfied and empowered.
I look forward to meeting you!

Katarina Schmidt MSW,RSW
Hello there! I’m Kat, a social worker living here in Saskatoon on Treaty 6 land. I am of mixed ancestry including Indigenous (Saulteaux, Cree, and Nakoda), and European (Croatian, German, and others). 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. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives and I am privileged to be a part of their life’s journey.
Approaches aligned with my practice include: • Trauma-informed • Anti-oppressive and anti-racist • Harm reduction • Attachment Theory • Person Centered • Poly-Vagal Theory • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Strengths Based • Psychodynamic and Humanistic insights • Person in Environment
I have experience working with adult individuals with the following concerns and identities: • Grief and loss • 2SLGBTQ+ • ADHD and Autism • Indigenous and POC life experiences • Trauma • Gender and sexual identity • Stress • Relationship concerns • Family of origin or family dynamic concerns • Harm reduction (ex. addictions, self-harm) • Anxiety • Depression and/or suicidal ideation • Bipolar disorder • Body image and disordered eating (anti-diet approaches, health at every size) • Existential concerns • Life transitions

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

With a life-long interest in psychology and mental health, I am committed to serving those that invite me to be part of their life’s journey. I strive to provide a space of safety, consent, transparency, acceptance, and curiosity. I am passionate about the diversity of individual experiences and their mental wellbeing. No two individuals are the same and neither are their experiences; I’d love to work toward learning about yours and how they affect your wellbeing.
I have always been mindful and appreciative of the complexity of mental health, as well as its importance in everyone’s lives. My educational background is in psychology which I graduated with high honours, along with a certificate in ethics, from the University of Saskatchewan. Beyond educational experiences, I have learned from practical experiences to be a firm believer of advocacy. I am committed to meeting you where you are at, understanding your context, and reaching goals that you set for your wellbeing.
During our sessions, I may integrate aspects from: • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy • Narrative Therapy • Person-Centred Therapy • Strengths-Based Approach • Psychodynamic Theory • Humanistic Theory • Attachment Theory
Areas of interest include: • Minority stress • Gender and sexual identity • Anxiety • Depression • Suicidal ideation • Relationship concerns • Existential concerns • Trauma • Grief • Self-image

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.
