Smudge It Out Therapy and Education Services
"Bridging traditional and modern therapies"
Hello! I'm Danelle, an Indigenous registered social worker and mental health therapist with a passion for supporting Indigenous individuals, families, and communities. Drawing on traditional teachings and modern therapeutic techniques, I work alongside my clients to promote healing, build resilience, and create positive change. With 15 years of experience in various roles, including support work, program facilitation, and child and family services, I bring a wealth of knowledge and cultural humility to my practice. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your family, I'm here to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
What To Expect
During your therapy session with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. As we work together, I'll help you identify patterns of behavior or thought that may be contributing to your current struggles, and we'll develop strategies for overcoming those obstacles.
Our initial session will focus on getting to know each other and understanding your goals for therapy. From there, we'll work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs, while incorporating traditional tools, such as the medicine wheel.
For now, I'm offering sessions via phone or video chat, which provides the convenience of meeting from the comfort of your own home or office. In the future, I will also offer in-person sessions for those in Winnipeg and surrounding areas.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting experience, and I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable and empowered to work towards your goals. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your family, or your community, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
If you're interested in setting up a therapy session with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact me through the form on this page, or by email.

I'm here to support you on your healing journey, and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
