Elders (65+) Therapists in Saskatoon, SK

Accepting new clients, my credentials are in part scholastic however, my approach stems from the practice of doing my own healing work. Parents cannot take their children past the point of their own level of maturity. The same applies in therapeutic practice, walk the talk! Thus, presence in therapeutic relationships is the basis to addressing issues with addictions, anxiety, relationships that drive you crazy, anger, cultural issues, career issues and simply letting go of what does not work in your life. I offer services in both official languages! Do you have adult children who struggle with addictions, I can help.

I provide a safe supportive space where we engage in meaningful authentic conversations. I support each person as a unique individual by meeting them exactly where they are on their journey. I utilize a holistic approach which encourages each individual to reclaim their autonomy through a life which focuses on balancing mind, spirit, body and soul. Together we can rediscover your inner trust, turn suffering into achievement, explore your experiences, values, dreams and discover your purpose in life.

Accepting new clients. I support individuals/couples who are being affected by their own or a loved one’s mental/emotional/spiritual health and/or addictions, codependency/other-centeredness issues, adult children of alcoholic related problems, individuals who are currently in an abusive (any type) relationship, and/or trying to leave an abusive relationship, trauma history (any type of trauma). Disordered eating, dysfunctional relationship w/ food & eating disorders. Work experience includes: acute care, mental health & addictions, case management, family dynamics & relationships. Therapy approach - trauma informed CBT & SE.

Many of my clients seek consultation with specific intentions or goals for therapy from the outset, while others reach out to clarify their position regarding life events. It is common for people to have multiple concerns that could benefit from therapy, but feel unsure of where to start. I also meet with people who are doubtful about the usefulness of therapy, yet are in search of a protected setting to work through one of life’s struggles.

Struggles at school or at work? Feel like you are underachieving based on your potential and the amount of time and effort you put into tasks? Do you wonder whether you, or your child, may have a learning disability, ADHD, or other challenges to your learning and/or effective performance? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a psycho-educational assessment may be a helpful step in discovering more about your learning profile, potentially confirming a diagnosis, and recommending accommodations, interventions, and/or strategies to best support your academic or vocational success.

I help those who are going through small or big changes and transitions in their life. Those who have had losses of a loved one, relationships, or a job. I help those who struggle with their view of self, those wanting to express themselves and be understood in a difficult world. I am there first and foremost to offer a safe place to show up authentically and just be.

Do you find yourself repeating painful struggles? Or experiencing anxiety that you just don't know how to hold or what to do with? Do you continue to have problems or issues with your family or loved ones? Is what you are doing or have been doing leaving you feeling stuck, unhappy or frustrated with certain aspects of your life but can’t seem to make lasting changes no matter how hard you try? Life is a journey, not a destination. However, the quality of your present moment experience determines the overall satisfaction of that journey.

I believe in the importance of meeting you where you are in this moment in time. My experience is with individuals who seek self-improvement, empowerment, and healing from childhood and/or relationship trauma. I provide a psychoeducational component to counselling sessions because when you have new information you have the ability to make different choices. We can work collaboratively to examine what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and how to move forward. Trauma informed care is provided in a collaborative approach with a focus on strengths and connection.

Only accepting virtual clients in SK, MB, AB + BC at this time..... If you are feeling overwhelmed, dysregulated or ready to make some changes, but don't know where or how to start, you're in the right place. Whatever you're searching for, I'm here to provide a non-judgemental, safe space to explore what you need for your journey. With my therapeutic approach being grounded in a holistic foundation, we will work collaboratively to explore your life story and to cultivate a deep understanding of your self so that you can move forward in life with joy and purpose.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

Together we will create a safe and brave space to explore, understand and work through any challenges, issues and topics that bring you to counselling. We will examine patterns of behaviours, the stories we tell ourselves, and deep emotional wounds, which may present as anxiety, grief, loss, low self-esteem or ‘just going through a hard time’. Counselling allows us to feel our sadness, our anger, and celebrate our joy all while we develop new skills.

Has the stress of infertility or pregnancy loss affected your mental health or relationship with your partner? Are you feeling isolated and like nobody truly understands what you're going through? Or perhaps you are struggling with being the caregiver of someone who is elderly or has special needs. Maybe you, yourself, are struggling with the stress of declining health, life transitions, or a new medical diagnosis.

ECT approaches the ecology of the human experience from an anti-oppressive approach. We identify that each person is unique, and the client is the expert in their problem and not the therapist. We approach the problem as separate from the individual; the problem does not define the person. We are open and empathetic to all lifestyles and backgrounds.

I wish to create and function from a nonjudgmental stance that is influenced by empathy and compassion. I am led by my gentle curiosity and have found this to be useful in supporting clients. Maybe you struggle with your mental health; or addictions; or are just feeling overwhelmed? Do you need someone to support and listen to you? I consider it an honour and privilege to journey with you. So, let's work together to find ways that empower you to find change.

I offer online therapy only at this time. My approach is to use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and other counselling approaches to target reoccurring negative thoughts and beliefs, trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety and depression symptoms, and more. My goal is for you to feel empowered, less overwhelmed and stressed, and more capable of making and maintaining positive change in your life as a whole. I also encourage clients to be open and voice what works and what doesn't in therapy, as only you know yourself and your needs best.

I am originally from Saskatoon and I enjoy playing sports and watching my children play the sports they love. I have worked with Children, youth and families for over 20 years in various capacities. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and families during difficult times in their lives. I use a client-focused approach by meeting the clients where they are at in their journey and help them identify their needs and bring out their strengths. I specialize in a strength-based, anti-oppressive approach, as well as Interpersonal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and other modalities

What keeps us feeling like we are in limbo/stuck? Unresolved issues and traumas can keep us feeling and/or thinking that we are not progressing as we'd like, resulting in many feelings of being overwhelmed, burned out, and experiencing physical/emotional pains. Over 18 years of clinical experience, I can help you to discover and identify the core issues/patterns/beliefs, while inspiring hope and courage while you walk a more integrated path living life with more joy and abundance; with feelings of rejuvenation and release; and with an expanded self-awareness, emotional balance, and clearer thinking.

At especially stressful times in our lives, we may have felt anxious and/or depressed. We may have been resorting to "self-medicating" our painful feelings through the use of alcohol, drugs, eating too much or too little, or "zoning out" through process addictions such as gambling, gaming, porn or even playing bingo. When what we are doing is actually contributing to our problems - we may feel even more out of control and fearful. It can be helpful at times like these to talk to someone who can help us make sense if it all. We begin to make positive incremental changes and our stress level may go down. Life begins to work again.
