My training and practice is rooted in Saskatchewan.

About Dr. Horswill

I completed my Master’s and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Regina. Through my education I completed clinical training at RCMP Health Services, the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, the URegina Psychology Training Clinic, and the Regina Mental Health Clinic. My dissertation project examined the trauma-related experiences of Saskatchewan police officers.

My residency year was spent in Calgary in the CPA-Accredited Clinical Psychology Residency Program, where I worked in the Carewest Operational Stress Injury Clinic, and the Foothills Hospital Mood Disorders Service.

I now live in Saskatoon with my husband, our son, and a cute but unruly cat. I have been working in private practice here since 2017, and I have built a practice focused on providing competent care to individuals who have experienced trauma, including first responders and healthcare workers. I am thrilled to be establishing Resilience Psychological Services to continue providing psychological services to this wonderful community.

I keep current in research and training opportunities.
