Astoria Counselling & Assessment

04/23/2026

Spring in Saskatchewan is a bit of a roller coaster.
If your mood has been up and down with the weather, you’re not alone. These constant shifts can take a real toll.
This season doesn’t have to feel perfect to be meaningful. Take it one day at a time. 💚

If you are a client of mine (Olivia), you’ve heard me say this! Just because we think something does not mean that it’s true.

When we gently examine and reframe unhelpful thoughts, we can gain alternative, more balanced perspectives. Change the relationship with the thought, and you can begin to change how you feel! 💚

Can you take a moment today to pause and notice the relationship between your thoughts and feelings?

From planting gardens to spring trips and more time outdoors, here’s what the Astoria team is looking forward to this season. 💚🌷

Has your child been struggling at school? Acting out at home? Having a lot of “big feelings”? Do you wonder if their brain might work differently than most of their peers?

Psychological assessments can help identify what’s going on and provide strategies that help kids succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for our child is simply take the time to understand them better. 💚

Travel gently exposes our relationship with control, discomfort, and routine. When we loosen our grip and stretch beyond what’s familiar, growth tends to follow. It’s almost like therapy, just in a different setting! 🤎

I (Olivia) was recently in Brazil, and it reminded me of something I often talk about with clients - how powerful a change of scenery can be for our mental wellbeing.

When we step outside of our usual routines, our nervous system gets a chance to reset. We slow down, notice more, and gain perspective on our lives back home.

If life has been feeling heavy or rushed lately, consider this your gentle reminder that small shifts (e.g., time away, a new environment, or even a slow weekend) can make a meaningful difference. 💚

Guilt and shame aren’t the same, and knowing the difference can change how you talk to yourself. If these feelings are hard for you to untangle, our therapists at Astoria can help! 💚

Just a friendly reminder that many employee benefit plans reset in January, which means this can be a great time to return to counselling or book an assessment!

If support has been on your mind, now may be the perfect opportunity to prioritize your mental health. 💚
