Crystal has always been drawn to people and their stories. Even as a child, she found meaning in listening, connecting, and understanding others. After spending much of her adult life working as an accountant, she realized that the most fulfilling part of her work was never the numbers—it was the relationships. This insight led her to pursue counselling, where her natural strengths could fully support the people she serves.
Crystal is married and has two teenage children. She enjoys time with her family, reading, traveling, and spending quiet days at the lake. She values lifelong learning and is grateful for opportunities to grow through additional coursework, professional memberships, committees, and board involvement. These experiences strengthen her ability to contribute to meaningful change within her community.
Crystal completed her Master of Arts in Counselling at Providence University College & Theological Seminary. She is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and a member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). She is also an ADHD‑Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD‑CCSP). Her additional training includes Child and Adolescent Therapy, Chronic Pain, and Psychopharmacology.
Crystal has a natural ability to put clients at ease. She understands the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and approaches counselling as a collaborative journey rather than a process of “fixing.” She works with a diverse range of clients and strives to create a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment where healing and growth can occur.
Crystal is a provider for the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba, Manitoba Public Insurance, HEB Manitoba, and serves as an Employee Assistance Program provider for Dialogue.
Lynette is an exceptionally caring and highly skilled therapist with more than fifteen years of experience. Clients describe her as open, genuine, sensitive, and perceptive. She has a unique ability to hold space for painful stories while gently encouraging them to unfold. Lynette approaches each person with curiosity and respect, believing that even when resources feel dormant, every individual carries strengths that can be rediscovered. Her own lived experience and self‑awareness allow her to acknowledge honestly that life is not always fair, yet she remains grounded in the belief that relationships can inspire hope.
Lynette completed her Master of Arts in Counselling at Providence University College & Theological Seminary. She is a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) through the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association and is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
Lynette has extensive experience supporting clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, attachment concerns, depression, self‑harm, and grief. She works primarily with adolescents, individuals, and couples. While she draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches, she naturally leans toward Person‑Centered Psychotherapy. Lynette is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and she incorporates sand tray and art‑based methods into her work when appropriate.
Lynette is a provider for Victim Services, the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba, and Manitoba Public Insurance.
