The Counselling Corner has offices available in both Saskatoon and Martensville, and recently announced the addition of more services available to Martensville and area residents.
Chantel Bode is the newest addition to the Martensville office and will be providing daytime, evening and weekend appointments. Bode received a Social Work degree (BSW., RSW.) from the University of Regina and continues to expand her counselling education within the mental health and family dynamic fields.
“I believe in empowering clients as we work together in developing and implementing solutions for the challenges you may be experiencing. I utilize multiple counselling strategies applying the best approach that suits the client’s needs,” Bode stated. Strategies include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
The Counselling Corner provides support to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families in areas such as: depression, anxiety, family issues, self-esteem, self-confidence, life changes, trauma, OCD, self-harm tendencies/behaviours, social skills, child and adolescent issues, anger management, coping skills, co-dependency, communication skills, boundaries, suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and much more.
“I am passionate in the work that I do and love supporting people throughout their most challenging times. I understand the difficulty in allowing yourself to be vulnerable while sharing your story and will hold a safe space for you to do so comfortably,” Bode added.
There are three counsellors currently available in Martensville through The Counselling Corner, two of which, including Bode, are located at 2-239 Centennial Drive North (The Beach Bean Brewing location) and Wendy Kritzer who has a home-based operation in the community.
“Just taking that step to reach out and connect with someone is such a big deal. It takes strength to reach out when we are struggling and working to meet our own needs to help heal and find success so that we can be the best version of ourselves, especially during a difficult time,” Wendy Kritzer of The Counselling Corner said.
“We are proud to offer evening and weekend options to help ensure that people aren’t missing school or work and that we can do what we can to help meet the needs of the community. It is so important to find a safe place where people feel comfortable and safe. Everyone is different in how that looks, so we all support one another and do what we can to help ensure that each individual finds a counsellor that works for them,” Kritzer added.
