Welcome to Northern Lights Therapy. I am Wanda Swan. I am First Nation and I live in Lac La Biche County. I provide therapy/counselling to individuals with depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, intergenerational trauma, addictions and other mental health issues.   I provide in-person, virtual and phone therapy. I have over thirty years of experience as a clinical social worker and as a successful, culturally sensitive, empowering mental health therapist. I am a registered clinical social worker therapist (RCSW) with a specialization in clinical practice and I am a Mental Health Service Provider with Indigenous Services Canada, Indian Residential Schools Resolution Support Program, Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, and Federal Indian Day Schools.  
 My priority is to develop a trusting, empowering working relationship with individuals struggling with a variety of issues such as communication problems, identity, illness, pain, grief, trauma, depression, various types of anxiety, self-harm, addictions and difficult relationships among other issues. We work together to recognize and build on the inherent strengths clients already possess, to solve and heal the core issues they entered therapy with. I work with families and with children, ages 8 to Elders, couples and groups. I believe one first needs to be a good listener, be compassionate, humble, empathetic and work from the heart. Most of all, one needs to believe in the people they work with, help lift their spirit and empower them to heal and live a happier life.
