About Stefaun: I was born and raised in Treaty 4 Territory. I was shaped and molded by the teachings of my grandparents from my mother’s side. I am a father, a breakdancer, and a fan of all things that contribute to mental wellness. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music of all kinds, taking photos of freight train graffiti, and chasing my son around the house. I do believe coffee deserves an honorable mention here as well! Currently, I am a registered Social Worker and have over 9 years of experience working with children, youth, and families. I am also the Outreach Coordinator for a local non-profit known as B.G.C.S. (formerly known as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Saskatoon). In my work, I strive to understand individuals and situations holistically, while acknowledging that there is always more than meets the eye (yes, that is a Transformers reference!). I believe that as individuals we are all a direct result of the people, places, and situations that we (and our ancestors) have experienced. I hold myself accountable to those that mean the most to me, my family, my friends, my partner, and our son. For them, I do my best to serve others in a good way, to walk through life with an anti-oppressive and decolonial perspective with the hope of leaving places better than I found them. Areas of focus or specialties: - Youth and adult counselling. - Trauma (PTSD, intergenerational trauma). - Depression and anxiety. - Grief and loss. - Addictions and substance dependency.

Favorite song or artist: One of my favorite songs is “Qu’Appelle Valley Saskatchewan” by Buffy Sainte-Marie. This song holds a special place in my heart because Buffy is singing about the same area of Saskatchewan that I had the privilege of growing up in, Qu’Appelle Valley. For me, this song is about being proud of who you are and where you come from, two things that I believe are vital to the human experience. One of my favorite artists is Linkin Park. The thing I appreciate about Linkin Park is their ability as a band to create so much emotionally charged music. I thoroughly enjoy how Linkin Park’s music communicates the emotional complexity of the human condition, and that it is okay to be vulnerable in our expression of that condition.

About Me: Working with people to help find solutions during difficult times is something that has always captivated me and led me to become a therapist. I believe in asking for help when we are stuck, and that our life is an ecosystem; small (and big) changes can disrupt us and sometimes leave us feeling like we do not know what to do. This normal, however normal does not have to mean good, it means that it is common. What is not as common is asking for help. I have over a decade of experience as a counsellor, from community and family outreach, care coordination, medical social work, to individual (adult and youth), family, and group therapy. I am also a Qualified Mediator with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada, and a student member of the Canadian Sports Psychology Association. Through this work, I have developed an approach that focuses on building resiliency and self-compassion. I would say that my practice is focused on building, maintaining, and creating healthy relationships with individuals, families, and communities by using evidence-based approaches to therapy. I enjoy music, reading, journaling, being outdoors, running, gardening, and staying active but most of all spending time with my wife and two sons.
