We are excited to introduce Carley Ritz, a wonderful addition to the Dreamcatcher™ team! 💙

Carley started her journey with Dreamcatcher™ in the fall of 2025 as an Intern Therapist and brings over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, working with children, youth, leading restorative circling practices, and socio-emotional group facilitation.

She holds a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Alberta and is currently completing her Master of Counselling through City University of Seattle, with a passionate focus on Animal-Assisted and Nature-Assisted Therapy.

Her deep appreciation for the healing power of animals and nature was rooted in childhood — growing up with rescue pets and attending Outdoor School programs that shaped her understanding of nature's role in mental wellness. She continues to develop her horsemanship and equine skills, bringing even more therapeutic creativity to her work at Dreamcatcher™. 🐴

Carley works through a client-centred and strengths-based approach, integrating CBT mindfulness techniques, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Compassionate Communication, Somatic Experiencing, and offering art activities, play, and story telling to provide flexible, individualized support for each client.

Her goal is simple — to make meaningful connections and walk alongside her clients on their healing journey. 🌿

🌟𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨! We are also offering 2 free sessions when booking with one of our Intern Therapists! Reach out today to get connected.
