My Story & Approach

Hi there! I’m Jolene Siemens (she/her).

For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting children and families, first as a teacher, then as a behaviour strategist, and now as a Registered Psychologist. I completed my Bachelor of Education at the University of Saskatchewan in 1996, earned a Montessori Training Diploma in Child Development (birth to age six) in 2002, and later completed my Master of Counselling in 2008. Each step shaped not only my knowledge, but my deep respect for how people grow, struggle, and find their way forward.

I’m a prairie girl at heart and often head back to Saskatchewan to reconnect with wide open skies and my roots. That prairie grounding, resilience, humility, and genuine care for people, influences how I show up in the therapy room: steady, down-to-earth, and relational.

If you are navigating anxiety, grief, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, or life transitions I will meet you where you are, without judgment or pressure. My style is empathetic, creative, and collaborative. Clients often describe me as nurturing and steady, someone who creates a safe space to land. And when the time is right, I may gently “poke”, offering thoughtful questions that help you recognize your own inner strengths. Growth isn’t forced, but it does require courage.

On Saturdays, we provide respite care for an autistic boy who has become part of our family. That relationship keeps my work grounded in lived experience, reminding me that patience, humour, connection, and consistency matter deeply.

Together, we will clarify your goals, explore meaningful strategies, and reconnect you with the inner resources you already carry. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based practices, and EMDR, integrating these approaches in a way that feels personalized and responsive.

I am not simply an observer in this work, I am a fellow traveller.

I truly look forward to meeting you.
