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!  

I believe in the power of personal growth and self-discovery. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep appreciation for each person's unique journey.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, uncover their strengths, and work through difficulties at their own pace. Together, we will build a path forward that fosters healing, hope, and resilience. I offer a safe, compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioural and humanistic techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain clarity, overcome challenges, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. If you're feeling unsure or facing challenges, I invite you to get in touch. I'm here to listen, answer any questions you may have, and support you in your journey.

You deserve the peace that comes with living authentically. On the journey to finding your purpose, you may be navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, or challenges with self-worth.

The path to finding your purpose is not linear, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. By learning to embrace self-compassion, we can start to change the narrative that may have been limiting your sense of possibility and well-being. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. Schedule a free consultation today so we can explore if I’m the right fit for your journey.

I approach counselling as a quiet, supportive partnership where clients feel safe to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. I believe meaningful change happens not through pressure or fixing, but through understanding, patience, and compassionate guidance. With more than two decades of experience, I support individuals facing emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work is rooted in trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, with attention to both emotional experiences and how stress is carried in the body. I aim to offer a calm and respectful space where clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity, stability, and self-trust.  

I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and collaborative relationship. Working with teens, adults, and older adults, I take a client-centred approach, drawing on CBT, DBT skills, attachment-based and trauma-informed methods to help clients move through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the hard transitions that leave people feeling overwhelmed or unmoored. With over a decade in the helping professions, I bring both clinical skill and genuine care to every session — and for clients who want it, faith has a place in the work too. I see clients at GreenValley Counselling's Kitchener, Brantford, and Cambridge offices.  

Looking for a safe place to land? Ready for change? Together we will process the things getting in the way of the changes you’re looking to make. Together we will make a plan that makes sense for your goals AND your life. And then I will support you as you take the steps forward. You got this.  

Life can be really challenging at times and while we love our family and friends, they tend to give advice rather than practical tools for navigating those challenges. Sometimes they even get upset when we don't do what they tell us to! Therapy is different -- you get an unbiased listener who will teach those practical skills and offer realistic suggestions, rather than advice. Best of all, you will feel supported regardless of your decision. Whether you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, to finally start working on those unprocessed traumatic memories that we can't just "get over", or anything in between, I offer a safe place to work through your unique situation on your timeline. You will never feel pressured to talk about something that you aren't ready to, but you will feel supported enough to do so. I'm looking forward to meeting with you!  

Many people who reach out for therapy are used to carrying a lot on their own. They may appear capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted internally. My practice focuses on helping adults understand their emotional patterns, reduce overwhelm, and develop practical strategies that actually work in everyday life. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes differences in how people think, process emotions, and navigate the world. Clients often seek support for ADHD, anxiety, burnout, trauma, perfectionism, and self-esteem challenges. Therapy is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Together we work toward building clarity, resilience, and sustainable ways of coping.  

I provide individual therapy, both in-person and online, to clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and burnout. I have been told by clients that my calm demeanour and caring, non-judgmental stance helps them to feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. Therapy with me is client-led, meaning you decide what we talk about, but I'm here to help you make sense of it and understand how lifelong patterns and unconscious beliefs might be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.  

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if part of you isn’t sure what you’ll find when you get there. You might be used to holding things together on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed underneath. In our work, you don’t have to have it all figured out - you just have to show up as you are. Clients often come to me when they’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, not just manage symptoms. Together, we make sense of the patterns that keep repeating in relationships, the inner tension, and the emotional experiences that feel hard to access or explain. As you begin to feel more grounded and clear, many clients notice a shift toward greater self-trust, more ease in their relationships, and a stronger sense of who they are. If you’re looking for a space that feels thoughtful, steady, and genuinely attuned to your experience, this may be a good fit.
