Lacey Sabine is a Registered Social Worker based in rural Saskatchewan, with a strong commitment to supporting individuals through traditional and practical therapeutic methods. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Regina and is currently advancing her expertise by pursuing a Master of Social Work at the same institution.

As a mother of two girls, Lacey brings a personal understanding of the complexities and rewards of family life to her practice. Her rural roots and practical insights into the farming lifestyle enrich her ability to connect with and support clients facing similar experiences. Lacey’s approach to therapy combines professional expertise with genuine empathy and a deep understanding of the rural context in which she lives and works.

MEd

Valley Art Therapy, Birtle, MB

Dana has her Masters of Education (Counselling), is a Canadian Certified Counsellor, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, is a Registered Canadian Art Therapist, and EMDR Trained.

Dana has 16 years of experience as a counsellor. She specializes in supporting clients in their trauma work. Her approach goes beyond talk alone, integrating somatic experiences, mindfulness and other modalities with more traditional types of therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  This can be really beneficial for those who are seeking to process difficult life events or whose daily functioning is impacted by past trauma. 

In your work with Dana, you can expect to move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. There's no pressure to put words to complicated or traumatic experiences. Our work is grounded in the somatic experience of the body and our nervous system survival responses, drawing on Polyvagal Theory. This approach allows us to address trauma holistically, recognizing the profound connection between mind and body. Together you will work on expanding your window of tolerance to better manage the challenges of day-to-day life. Dana's background includes training in various therapeutic modalities, which allows her to tailor sessions to the client's unique needs, combining talk therapy techniques with body-based and creative approaches as appropriate.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey in a supportive, trauma-informed environment, Dana is here to guide you. Together, you can work towards processing your experiences and improving your day-to-day functioning, all while moving at a pace that feels right for you.

Dana grew up on a mixed farm in Southwestern Manitoba. Her teaching career brought her to Birtle, MB in 1996, and shortly after she married a farmer, moving into a century old family mixed farming operation nestled in the Assiniboine Valley. Through the BSE years, the years of floods, and all the weather related challenges, we have raised two kids while enjoying all that farm life has to offer. After another flood in 2014, we shifted our operation out of grain, and focused on cattle ranching. We now operate about 300 head of Black Angus cattle, and are bringing in the next (and fifth) generation as our son joins his dad in the cattle business.

To schedule an appointment, please phone 204-842-3869 or email care@valleyarttherapy.com and mention you are a SaskAgMatters client. Dana offers appointments In-Person (743 Main Street, Birtle, MB), or virtually.

Guiding Minedful Minds, Saskatoon

Rana has strong rural roots in Saskatchewan and is well versed in the agricultural sector and rural areas. A wealth of personal and professional experiences has driven her passion to be in the field of social work and to provide counselling for those who need it.

Rana's personal experiences give her a true working knowledge of just what it’s like to be an agriculture producer. Rana believes that we each have our own agricultural story and every producer’s situation and circumstance is different from the next. She recognizes that the dynamics of agriculture continually change, and she knows that, as producers, we need to navigate those shifts, all while we may be balancing our health, family, friends, business and everything life throws our way.

Rana is here to work with agriculture producers, their families, and agricultural employees, and offers counselling for a wide range of issues. Some of those include, but are not limited to grief and loss, anxiety, chronic illness, caregiver stress, family dynamics, trauma, parenting, and bereavement. After many years of experience, Rana’s clinical practice ranges from basic case management to complex, traumatic situations. She has a unique ability to build strong rapport with her clients, and because she has her own agricultural story, she is able to truly connect with other producers. She is passionate about equine therapy, working with families, and has both the professional experience and personal agricultural background to relate to her clients. In addition to farming and ranching experience, Rana also has experience navigating the health care system, education system, and offers support within agricultural and mining. Rana’s lived experiences have provided her with genuine, authentic ways of connecting with her clients.

To schedule an appointment, please phone or text (306) 230-3158 or email guidingminedfulminds@gmail.com and mention you are a SaskAgMatters client. Rana offers appointments in Saskatoon, virtually through Zoom or remotely by phone.
