Therapists in Saskatoon, SK

When did you last feel "light"? If you’re living with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, conflict and fear, it feels like you are always looking for ways to "get by", cope, and maybe lift some of the burden. Although your circumstances, experiences, and needs may differ, you are not alone. People who face these things often share a common desire- to feel lighter, not weighed down by what they have gone through, or are still going through. Whether by reconnecting with yourself, developing effective ways to manage your symptoms, or simply finding a safe space to rediscover your laughter, it is possible to find healing, peace, and even joy.

I have experience working with the following: Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, OCD, ADD/ADHD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, addiction, trauma/PTSD, loss/grief/bereavement. I support my client's while they process out their trauma and help them to learn coping for their mental health struggles. I use a holistic approach and incorporate the four quadrants of health: Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Being mindful of each client's individual and unique needs. I am approved as a mental health counsellor for both NIHB as well as Victim's Services.

Individuals are unique in their strengths and challenges. In a warm safe environment we focus on strengths, to deal with challenges in a person's life. Receipts are accepted by most insurance providers. I am registered as a NIHB provider., and WCB non accredited provider.

When life gets messy (and it does) or when fear takes over, it can be challenging to remember our best self…our worth. We humans often resort to outdated, destructive patterns in efforts to cope with crises. I sure understand. I sense into the pathways that authentically connect you to a grounded + compassionate + congruent place inside. Together, we co-create a mindful map to support you with accountability and transform struggle into a gentle walk along your path. Increase clarity + self-awareness + compassion. Build a solid foundation with the tools and strategies to serve you well, no matter what life presents.

Many of my clients have experienced panic attacks, obsessive worry, anger, depression, low self esteem - that have been brought on or worsened by relationship difficulties and negative - even traumatic experiences. Life can be very hard - when feeling hurt, scared, or humiliated, our impulse is to withdraw from others, fight back, or pretend everything is okay. My clients have often found themselves stuck in these defensive modes. If you hope for change and are willing to reach out, please don't hesitate .... you are worth it!

Hi! I'm Tyson Kurtenbach, Registered Doctoral Psychologist. I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 2016, and have been working in private practice since 2017 (formerly of Chartier Arnold Shimp & Associates). I have extensive training and a wealth of experience that I bring to my work with each of my clients, in order to help them identify and challenge unhelpful ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are leaving them feeling stuck and helpless.

Pain, heartache and suffering is not something anyone anticipates experiencing. When it comes out of no-where it may seem too unbearable to handle. Individuals may suppress what they are feeling, behave in ways they never thought they would, and/or experience secondary symptoms that mask what is truly going on! Whether it is the initial pain you are experiencing and/or years of wear and tear, please know that there is help available to you! I would be honoured to help you make sense of your experiences and take back control.

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.

“The goal of psychotherapy is to insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed—and thereby create opportunities to know ourselves more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more congruently.” J. Shedler, PhD

Shelley Ugyan, RRC, is an acclaimed author, speaker and has over 15 years experience in mental and holistic health. Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately after the first 90 minute session. Her approach is genuine, empowering and powerful. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. Shelley loves to work with individuals who are ready and willing to change their thinking to heal for life.
