My name is Adelle and I grew up in small town Saskatchewan as part of a large extended family. In that big family I learned how to appreciate and interact with lots of different people. That love of people and a desire to help others lead me to becoming a foster parent in 1993. The work I did with foster children inspired me to become more involved. I then enrolled at the University of Regina graduating with a degree in Social Work in 1999. I worked with youth in a facility that had a farm program which lead me to taking EGALA training where I was first exposed to the basics of therapy. This model incorporates a mental health professional and a qualified equine specialist that work together with a horse and a client in a process that was fun, interesting and helped many of the youth we worked with to understand their lives better. As I developed my ability to ask questions and to understand and motivate others it increased my desire to become better at therapy. I enrolled in a Masters program at Dalhousie University in Halifax Nova Scotia. There I completed a field study at Windsor Hospital where I worked on a therapy team that included Psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses and MSW therapists. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2016. This level of education increased my ability as a therapist and has meant that I have had the opportunity to teach classes as a sessional at the University level along with being selected as lead member of a team that developed recommendations to improve a program that works directly with many youth in the province of Saskatchewan.
I have been involved in private practice since 2018 and continue to do this work because it teaches me how to be a better person and how to help others more effectively. Being part of peoples healing feels like and honor and a privilege. At its best, therapy converts suffering into wisdom. A great session requires both you and I to show up with a willingness to hear one another and commit to understanding what you need to be the best version of yourself. My client base has a broad range; though I began focusing on youth, many of my long-term clients tend to be adults coming for individual therapy. If you are interested in working together you are welcome to meet in in a free video consult to see if it feels like a good fit.

I grew up in small town Saskatchewan and moved to Saskatoon to complete my Bachelor of Social Work. I spent a decade working in the health sector and have been in private practice since 2018. I completed the Master of Social Work Program and incorporate the wisdom from this experience into my counselling practice.
As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert on you and my role is to guide and support you. Together, we will co-create what therapy looks like for you. I believe tools to help us cope and heal are everywhere- nature, laughter, intuition, moving our body, journaling, etc.- and so I pull from all of these during sessions. Since we naturally tend to focus on our challenges, I make it a priority to highlight your strengths, opportunities, and growth.
I am a proud member of the Gabriel Dumont Métis Local #11. Some things that bring me the greatest joy are my children, martial arts, writing, and a good belly laugh. I am grateful to walk alongside others as they tune into their own guidance and grow through life’s many transitions.
Currently accepting clients who are 16 years and older.

I am a Father of 2 grown children who have flown the nest and a 4 legged dog-child named “Rumi”
who is still hanging around. I have lived experience and a formal education from the University
of Regina in Social Work. In my practice, I observe the idea that there is not a one size fits all solution for people
so I have a blended approach that includes all of my formal and informal teachings. I provide a
Trauma informed, safe environment and draw from Reality, Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral
Therapies to support people to work through their problematic issues from substance use/misuse,
Social Media and anxiety and stress. Human development happens over a lifetime so I work with
a wide age range of individuals from adolescents to adults and experienced adults because all life
stages are new to all of us at one point and sometimes we are in need of support and information
to adapt to these times.
A journey of healing can be facilitated by acceptance of ourselves and release of inherited family
behaviors, cultural effects and adaptive responses that are no longer working for us. I would be happy to come alongside our journey to
help form a new healthy lifestyle to adapt to your evolving life.

I have done many things in my life. Different business opportunities and adventures have made my life full of learning and development.
I was excited to change everything up in my forty’s and head back to school for Social Work. I am excited to be on this learning adventure once again. At the moment I teach ASIST and organize the Ladies Collective with Elevate while continuing my role as the General Manager.
I look forward in meeting and chatting with the clients as they come in.
See you soon :)

My name is Jelena Mlinarevic. I am originally from a little town named Cugir, which is located in Romania. I am Croatian on my father’s side, and Romanian on my mothers. My family and I relocated to Saskatoon SK in the early 2000’s. Growing up in Romania, as well as alongside my father’s Croatian traditions, has allowed me to have a broader understanding of various cultures, customs, and how they influence ways of life. I am fluent in Romanian and Croatian and love continuing to learn about various cultures, and beliefs as a way of promoting diversity.
I hold a Bachelors of Arts obtained from the University of Saskatchewan, a Bachelors of Social Work attained from the University of Regina, and am currently completing my Masters of Social Work. During my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, individuals, and families. My passion lies in helping persons overcome barriers and promoting self-empowerment while building on existing individualistic skills.
I approach therapy from a strengths-based, person-centred, and anti-oppressive lens. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and at times need some guidance in overcoming life’s challenges. I strive to provide an open, supportive, and confidential environment where healing may begin.

Hi, I’m Stacy Wallace- a local Saskatoonian who has spent her whole life in this beautiful city. I love pop culture, especially Disney, Harry Potter and Adventure Time. I am a human mom and a dog mom and can’t help but laugh at the chaos of both experiences equally.
I graduated from the University of Regina with a Bachelor of Social Work in 2011. I have a passion for learning and have continued to pursue a variety of training and certificate programs, with the most recent academic adventure pursing my Master of Social Work with the University of Regina.
I primarily work with adults (18+). I have worked with older adults, adults experiencing mental health, and adults who have lived experience with incarceration for the majority of my career. I have a passion for animals and have done a lot of learning on the human animal bond, pet loss grief, and how to incorporate animals into our healing journey.
I have trained as an End of Life Doula, am a Certified Laughter Leader through World Laughter Tour, harness the power in neuro-art and enjoy supporting clients as they navigate through the many different transitions that life can bring. I strive to support people holistically, understanding the connection between the mind and the body, aiming to create a collaborative and empowering environment that acknowledges the impact that your past experiences have on your present life. I would describe my style as casual, compassionate and curious.
I recognize that each individual is unique and there is no one single best path forward. I blend a variety of knowledge and skill sets to create a tailored therapeutic approach that is unique to you, and your story. This allows us to remain open to a variety of pathways to healing.
Lindy Alexander once said, “ It is a privilege to bear witness to someone’s story, especially when they may not have had the opportunity to tell it before”. I practice from a place that honours the story of my clients and recognizes the strength in their journey. I feel grateful to be able to walk alongside them and witness their lives as their story unfolds.
Whatever your reason for reaching out, it’s the right reason and it’s enough. We aren’t meant to hold these stories alone. Sometimes we just need someone to listen and bear witness to our lives. Are you ready to tell your story?
I invite you to book a free consultation to allow us to get to know one another and see if we connect.
