Transpersonal Therapists in Saskatoon, SK

I work with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

I embrace that the symptoms you are experiencing are part of a larger whole. Together, we can work to create healing, meaning and clarity for you, on a mental, emotional, somatic and spiritual level. Our sessions are informed by your unique position within time, culture and the fabric of our society. I am 2SLGBTQ aligned, ENM informed and work from a harm reduction, anti-capitalist, feminist lens. I have experience working with depression, anger, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, people pleasing, life transitions, substance use, BPD and more. Consent is a big part therapy and I welcome your no, as much as I welcome your yes.

We all experience trauma, rejection, fear, and pain in our journey. This can negatively affect us physiologically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. These experiences affect every spectrum of vitality. If you desire freedom, past unresolved wounds and negative reactions or patterns may need to be addressed. Or, you may be suffering from grief, divorce, family conflict, kinship or blended family issues, trauma, anxiety, addictions, or abuse. If you desire True healing, know that there are deeper roots to your present day issues. If nothing else has worked for you to truly heal and recover, connect with clinical therapist, Jodi.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or like you are ready to make a change but you don’t know where to start…I want you to know that there is hope. I am here to hold space for you to encourage deep healing and growth. I know that vibrant health is possible when we provide ourselves a solid foundation, and I am here to help you start this process today. My approach to therapy is holistic in nature. I understand that in order to truly heal and thrive we must take care of not only our mental/emotional health, but our physical, and spiritual health as well. Everything is connected!

Couples therapy is a specialization I have extensive experience in. I am happy to assist you with any relationship problems individually or as a couple. I am a certified Discernment Counsellor. I can also help guide you if you are considering separation or are grieving due to a separation or loss. I work with anyone who needs a caring and compassionate support and guidance for a wide variety of issues and concerns.

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.

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.

I describe myself as a transformational therapist not because it is trendy but because my approach is centred on transformation. Each of us has an internal drive towards healing; we seek to be better than "fine." We all experienced trauma in one form or another, no parent who has ever lived could meet every need we had as children. We all have parts of ourselves that we have cut off, disowned, or devalued. In therapy, we work together to construct a new experience, allowing you to reclaim who you truly are.

Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

Welcoming New Clients! Hi, I'm Michelle, a Clinical Counsellor. Life's challenges—from stress and past traumas to relationship issues—can deeply affect us all. In therapy, I use a holistic approach that goes beyond merely overcoming these challenges. We explore and discover ourselves in the full context of our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and body. I truly believe that integrating your whole self cultivates deep, lasting healing, empowering you to address the root causes of your symptoms, enhance your resilience, and inevitably live authentically to your truest self.

Do you want to explore your differences? Perhaps you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, etc.), gifted, 2slgbtqia+, intense, a parent of a high needs child, or different in some other way. Your challenges may include dealing with intense feelings, being over-critical of yourself, being easily overwhelmed by life, stress-related physical conditions, feeling alone, or a tendency to put your own needs last. I offer a safe and accepting space to explore who you really are, and what you need to survive and thrive in a world not designed for you.

I help people who are living with a sense of loneliness, a sense of abandonment, of feeling unloved, unworthy, ashamed, or disconnected. If words like worthless, depressed, anxious or alone describe your present state, I would like to help you. For the time being, I am offering online counselling from the comfort of your home.

I am currently accepting new clients. Life can feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes we can feel so confused that we don't know what direction to take. I will walk along side you to meet those challenges and help you find the next step to heal and grow. I will support you in developing insights into your thoughts, feelings and inner experiences and how they influence you in your everyday life. I believe in the already existing wholeness we are as human beings and I will help you find your authentic self and to live a rich and fulfilling life.

The name Gilded Cage Counselling comes from the story of a bird living in a gilded or opulent bird cage. Despite the luxurious cage the bird is living in, it is still trapped. This metaphor can be used for our lives. Do you feel trapped by the masks you wear, the lifestyle you have built, the coping mechanisms you have, or any other reason? While on the surface, often things can ‘look good’ on the outside, yet we may still be trapped by our pain, fears, guilt or shame on the inside. You can set yourself free from these fears, pain or coping mechanisms to live your life in a way that matters to you.

Are you experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, stress, uncertainties, and adjustment concerns? I offer services that can help. Increasing knowledge about personal growth and needs, and improving self-acceptance is fundamental for many people. Perhaps you wish to learn new ways to manage changing health status or to support someone with medical issues, or you may have general concerns and want to live a more spiritual life that brings a sense of peace and acceptance of challenges. We can work together so you can realize your strengths, work beyond your regrets, and increase your ability to live your best life.
