Today we honour Survivors, remember those who never came home, and acknowledge the lasting impacts of residential schools.

But words without action aren’t enough.
Because counselling therapists remain unregulated by the Alberta UCP government, NIHB does not recognize our services. This leaves a massive gap in mental health support for First Nations people, especially in communities where help is already hard to find. The government has said they are committed, but nearly two years have passed with no progress.

Truth and reconciliation must be more than symbolic gestures. It means removing barriers to healing and ensuring Indigenous communities have the care they deserve. Posted with permission. The amazingly talented Artist:

It’s me, Lisa, the therapist who can never quite keep up with social media. So here’s a little casual intro about who I am:

✨ Mom to a sweet 9-year-old boy, wife to my high school acquaintance turned husband of 13 years, and dog mom to Frankie.

✨ We live on an acreage outside Devon, where we also billet hockey players with the Spruce Grove Saints. My dad has a home on our property too!

✨ I love skiing and actually prefer the cold over the heat.

✨ You’ll rarely catch me in anything besides black or green, hence my brand colors.

✨ Fitness is very important to me: rowing and lifting weights 5 days a week has been one of my best habits.

✨ Authenticity matters to me a lot. I show up the same way in and out of the office.

✨ My areas of special interest are addictions, supporting men who are ready to seek help, and sport performance.

✨ In January, I took a leap and left my 17-year government career. Best decision ever. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my work, and I genuinely look forward to every day in the office.

✨ I believe Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a missing piece in mental health services. It’s powerful, effective, and something I wish more people trusted and practiced.

✨ Strong ethics and clear boundaries guide me, but I’ll always be human first.

✨ What do I love most about this work? Seeing clients reconnect with their self-worth. Nearly all of us carry a little doubt there, and realizing deep down that you really are enough is one of the most powerful shifts to witness.

Because traumatic memories lodge in your limbic system—amygdala, hippocampus, and autonomic nervous system—talking alone often can’t fully reset your brain-body alarm. Effective healing means working bottom-up: calming the body’s responses, soothing stored sensations, and only then reshaping the memory itself.
✨ ART meets your whole nervous system, not just your thoughts. Find an ART therapist at www.ARTworksNow.com
