Lacy is the Director of Health Services for the Tsuut’ina Nation, where she oversees all physical and mental health programs for her community. She also provides equine therapy to Treaty 7 and 8 nations when requested. When supporting individuals on their healing journey, Lacy draws from her Dene and Secwepemc heritage and cultural practices to create a hybrid model of support. In her practice, she consults with Elders both within and outside her own community to ensure she provides the best support possible. Lacy holds a Master of Counselling Psychology degree, is a Canadian Certified Counsellor, and holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Indigenous Studies. She is also a PhD candidate with Yorkville University for the Counselling and Psychotherapy doctorate program. Through her education and life experience, Lacy has gained the skills to support individuals with diverse mental health needs. She believes in spreading awareness and education of trauma-informed practices to break down colonial systems and beliefs, and support people from diverse backgrounds with a compassionate and empathetic approach. As a trainer, Lacy encourages open dialogue and positive, healthy communication among participants. She firmly believes in incorporating community practices, beliefs, and values, to create a supportive environment for every individual in the room.

Marwa is a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology.

As a clinician she believes that people are the experts in their own lives and have within them the strength and capacity to enact change. Marwa approaches her work through an attachment and developmental lens and sees that her role as a therapist is to help empower people to write their own life stories, explore their own values and beliefs about how the world works, and develop authentic, fulfilling relationships. She is also a contributing author of CTRI’s book, Counselling in Relationships, and is the author or editor of several of CTRI’s training materials, including those on the topics of attachment and counselling in relationships. As a trainer she brings warmth and humour and draws on her varied experiences to make for an engaging, relevant training experience. Read blogs written by Marwa here.
