Trauma Focused Therapists in Saskatoon, SK
I am a trauma-focused professional that believes trauma, no matter how big or small, is the root to our suffering.
Hi there, I'm Shannaya! I am so glad our paths have crossed. As your counsellor, I believe that each person has the innate ability to create a meaningful life, whatever that may look like for you. No matter what your goals are I am along for the ride, encouraging you to take the driver's seat on your road to healing. If you're feeling stuck, and as though you have tried all options, you've come to the right place. I will encourage you to safely delve into your past, exploring your childhood, and past generations to reveal the barriers that are keeping you from being able to achieve your goals.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapist, I bring both clinical depth and a warm, down-to-earth presence. I know how hard it can be to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll face the hard things together - at your pace, with compassion and clarity.

Currently accepting new clients! I provide play based therapy to help children build coping skills, improve emotional regulation and process major life events such as a loss of a loved one or divorce/separation. I also work with parents/caregivers to improve the parenting skills and attachment.

My goal is to help my clients feel more like themselves again, and to help lessen the influence of the problems that bring them to therapy. I have a particular interest in the areas of trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, disordered eating and body image concerns, domestic violence, women's health, chronic pain and chronic health issues (ie. migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue), depression, anxiety, coping with stress, grief and loss, and adoption. I provide goal directed treatment, and I strive to be collaborative and resilience focused with clients. My current clinical focus is with adults and older teens (16+). I am LGBTQ friendly.

I offer counselling services for children (ages 10+), youth, and adults.
Does sitting face-to-face talking about things intimidate you? Me too. That's why I provide a non-traditional type of therapy where we can talk over a coffee, doing a puzzle together, going for a walk, or creating art (yes, even for adults!). When you feel less “in the spotlight” it creates space for safety, comfortability, vulnerability, and in return - healing. I have experience in supporting those navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, complex trauma, body image concerns, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and anything else life throws your way.

Is your child having a hard time feeling understood, feeling like everything is difficult, while also having many strengths they can’t yet recognize? My goal is to help your child feel heard, understood, and capable. I work with children and youth (5–19) who are bright but struggling at school or at home, and may be anxious, neurodivergent, or experiencing low mood. This may look like avoiding work, shutting down, or big emotional reactions. I also support parents who feel stuck in cycles of conflict and want to rebuild connection. I offer counselling and psychoeducational assessments to support success at home and school.

I work primarily with children ages four and up through play therapy. Because we cannot expect young children to sit down and discuss their problems and feelings like adults do, allowing a child to express themselves through play is very effective. This builds on the way children naturally communicate - through play! Play also creates a safe place for children to express something that they find troubling. This means that very difficult topics can be worked through in a playful or metaphorical way which is age appropriate for the child. I am Saskatoon’s first and only Certified Play Therapist.
