Mental health service in La Ronge expands offerings, accepting new clients

Feb 2, 2023 | 5:00 PM

STG Health Services Inc. (STG La Ronge Branch) announced the expansion of its services in northern Saskatchewan. This will include private individual counselling, psychotherapy, and psychological assessment for children, youth and adults in northern Saskatchewan.

“Our team of qualified and experienced professionals is dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and well-being,” stated Dr. Chris de Feijter, a managing partner of STG Health Services Inc. and La Ronge resident of 15 years.

Dr. de Feijter explained northerners had to travel south to access private counselling, psychotherapy, and psychology services, adding travel and financial stress to already complex situations. He noted many of these services can be offered in a secure online clinic environment.

STG La Ronge offers programs such as SPACE Treatment, designed to help parents manage challenging behaviours in children, and the Cool Kids program, designed to treat childhood anxiety.

In addition, structured and continuing support for adolescents and adults with borderline personality disorder are provided through both individual and group counselling using dialectical behaviour therapy.

Dr. de Feijter mentioned STG La Ronge also does psychological assessments for ADHD in adults and children, learning disabilities, and other challenges. The assessments can help individuals understand the nature and extent of their strengths and difficulties and can provide valuable information for developing and implementing effective treatment plans.

“A diagnosis is important in understanding and treating mental health challenges, but it is not the final step,” de Feijter said. “Personalized and culturally responsive treatment is essential to help individuals manage their symptoms, reduce distress, and improve everyday functioning.”

STG La Ronge is accepting new clients for individual and group counselling, psychotherapy, and psychological assessment. More information can be found on the STG La Ronge website.
