My Story

Loretta is a proud Nehiyaw Iskwew from the Whitefish Lake #128/McRae communities in Treaty
6 Territory and is a Registered Psychologist (AB). She has been blessed with many teachers
(Elders and Traditional Knowledge Keepers) where her healing journey began. Loretta is trained
in the science-based psychology for helping others on their healing journey and believes in the
powerful healing of the traditional holistic approach.


Loretta practices an integrative approach that includes trauma informed, person centred,
mindfulness, Trauma Focused-CBT, and narrative techniques. Loretta believes trauma shifts our
world in a way that can be challenging and has guided her in focusing on a holistic, body-based
and neuro-physiological approach to healing. Loretta’s passion is to walk alongside others in
finding their own unique path towards healing.


Loretta has experience working with trauma/intergenerational trauma (specializing in sexual
trauma), anxiety, depression, identify, communication, coping skills, suicide ideation, grief and
loss.


Trainings/Certification: Registered Psychologist (Master of Counselling Psychology), Trauma Focused CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Our Healing Services

NIHB Therapy

The Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program provides eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with coverage for counselling, including individual, family and group therapy sessions.

Group Therapy

Led by an elder or knowledge-keeper, group therapy provides a community, circle-based support for men, women and youth, where facilitators use cultural content and teachings.

Family Therapy

A family healing circle, or sharing circle, is a traditional Indigenous practice that brings families together in a safe and respectful space to share, listen and support one another.

Play Therapy

Rooted in Indigenous values, play therapy for young children honours the importance of connection to family, community and the land through play, using toys, art and storytelling.

Youth Therapy

Counselling for teenagers and youth as they navigate emotional, social, and behavioural challenges in a safe and culturally sensitive space for exploration and self-discovery.

Couples Therapy

Indigenous-informed therapy to help partners improve their relationship by working through challenges, strengthening communication, and deepening understanding.
