Hey There.
Nice to meet you.
Before you get to your session and we ask you to share your story, we figured we’d better share ours too. We’re going to pretend we’re sitting across the table from you at a local cafe, coffee in hand, just chatting (because these about pages can get pretty boring, and we’re not into that).
If we went for coffee, here’s what we’d tell you:
Life isn’t easy (we know, big shocker). So many of us are wading through burnout, propping our phones up against our piles of self-help books to scroll Instagram hoping for inspiration and coming up with heaps of comparison and credit card debt we’re trying not to look at.
We think it’s time for something different.
That’s where SoulSoothe comes in:
a judgement-free space for you to relax into healing.
SoulSoothe was founded in 2023 to provide you with the experience you are looking for. You get to decide how your time with us is spent. You set the goals and the pace. If you want to simply talk, we can do that. If you want to sit in silence, we can also do that. And if you are wanting to incorporate Christian spirituality into your session, our counsellors are willing to pray with you as well.
We approach every person with an open heart and open mind. Whatever your ethnic, cultural, or spiritual background, we would be glad to support you on your healing journey.
Meet The Team
Bryce MacEwen
BSW, RSW
Social Worker, counsellor, teacher, student, musician, and husband from Saskatoon, SK. Regardless of what role I’m in or whatever label is attached to me, I’m pretty much that same person everywhere. I’m a curious guy who values relationship and integrity. This is why I became a social worker, and why I’m now counselling others. I care deeply about the pain that others have experienced, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside whoever decides to cross paths with me.
Outside of my office, you can find me outside enjoying River Landing with my wife and friends. Or perhaps, sitting on my deck relaxing with a cup of coffee (or decaf tea after 3pm).

Denise Carey
BSW, RSW
For over 30 years, I have helped youth and adults experience healing and freedom in individual and group settings. In that time, I have gained training and skill in a variety of approaches to support people struggling personally and in their relationships with addiction, trauma, interpersonal violence, and other challenges. I am a caring and empathetic person, and you can expect a session with me to be safe and gentle. We move together at a pace that feels right and in a direction that matters to you.
In my sessions, I use a variety of counselling approaches, including CBT and Narrative Therapy. Most recently, I have completed training in Sozo: an inner healing and spiritual deliverance approach grounded in evidence-based and trauma-informed practices. I bring this approach into my sessions, as the client feels comfortable, allowing them to get to the root of the issue and experiencing lasting healing.

Robin Schmidt
BSW, RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker with experience in trauma recovery, crisis management, mental health, and addictions. I draw from 30 years of involvement in church leadership and parachurch ministry experience, working with various age groups. As a counsellor, I work with both youth and adults in areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, rediscovering oneself, and fostering healthy relationships.
I am an attentive listener and empathetic person who aims to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your journey while feeling heard, understood, and supported. I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centred approach, encouraging you to set the pace and plans for your life as you desire. I also view your life and story in a holistic way, focusing on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your life. I use a variety of tools and techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).
I am passionate about working to transform pain into beauty, chaos into order, and brokenness into wholeness. This has been my own life story, and it is an honour to walk alongside others as they find their way.

Erin Walsh
MSW, RSW
In every area of my life, I’m passionate about creating a safe space where healing can take place. With compassion, empathy, and gentleness, I strive to recognize and honour the strength and courage in others. I believe in a holistic approach to healing—one that acknowledges the deep connection between mind, body, and soul, and the importance of their integration in the journey toward wholeness.
I believe genuine healing is possible through a safe and caring therapeutic relationship, combined with hard work and a willingness to grow. While the road to healing is not always easy, I hold onto the abundant hope that meaningful change is always within reach.
I’m trained in EMDR and draw from Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, and other therapeutic frameworks. I integrate these approaches thoughtfully to meet the unique needs of each person I work with.
Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me spending time with my husband and children, enjoying the outdoors, or reading about neuroscience.
