Hi! I'm Angie. I am a registered social worker and I have been supporting residents of Saskatoon on their journeys since 2011. As a member of a dysfunctional family of origin, I have interacted with conflict, stemming from intergenerational abuse and addiction, from a very early age. In 2021, I began taking conflict resolution training and fell in love with guiding others through conflict and communication challenges that often arise out of maladaptive coping strategies. I offer strengths-based, solution focused counselling and a conflict resolution services to individuals, couples, families and groups. Effective conflict resolution facilitates empowerment through self-determination, capacity building and increased communication for healthier relationships. I began private practice in 2022 as "Angie Howlett - The Conflict Counselor". However, this name quickly evolved in 2024 when I began volunteering for an international indigenous child and family organization. To maintain confidentiality and privacy of volunteers and service users, each member of the organization is given a spirit or tribal name. After a naming ceremony with an elder, a chief and the member who brought me to the organization, the name I was given means peace parity and hope for the future and loosely translates to white dove. And so, White Dove Counselling and Mediation was born! I practice on Treaty 6 Territory and use a trauma informed lens. I recognize various socio-economic barriers limiting your ability to access counselling and/or conflict resolution services. Therefore, I offer flexible in-person or virtual sessions outside regular business hours and sliding scale fees for those with no private health insurance. You may be able to claim your session through employer health benefits. I am preapproved by NIHB and Victim Services. Check with your provider(s) today to ensure coverage. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards Peace, Parity and Hope for the Future!

- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.

Have you been feeling fed-up, exhausted and defeated by your personal and professional relationships lately? Do you wish that your communication and conflict resolution skills were better? We know the feeling. We've been there, too. Though conflict is a normal, everyday part of life, it can be paralyzing to face alone. Childhood relationships with family members shape the way we develop communication skills and interact with conflict often resulting in "maladaptive" patterns. These patterns, often used as coping mechanisms, are an attempt at self-regulation rooted in survival and resiliency and can keep us from having healthy personal and professional relationships. Do you want to find creative solutions to your inner and interpersonal conflicts? Conflict regularly stems from abuse, alcoholism and addictions and can lead to anxiety, codependency and everything in between. Through lived experience, we can help restore your balance and bring you peace, parity and hope for the future. If you are ready to transform your relationships by leveraging your strengths to reveal a path forward, connect with us today. We are here for you and we are excited to take this journey with you!
