Lesley Levac

Welcome! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist and a Registered Psychiatric Nurse. I was born in a small northern community in Manitoba. I am of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry with a passion for promoting Indigenous health and culture. I have been dedicating my services since 2015 to the fly in reserves and surrounding communities in northern Manitoba, the multiple communities in Nunavut, and in multiple care homes throughout Manitoba and Alberta. In 2022 I was given an opportunity to join the Mamowichihitowin Program through the Hinton Friendship Centre. Here I provide therapeutic services to Indigenous and Non-Indigenous individuals in an area I now call home. I utilize the two eyed way of seeing in my work, non-colonial approaches, and meet clients where they are at. My goal is to dedicate my learned skills and services to the Indigenous peoples whose lives have been affected by colonialism and intergenerational trauma. However, as the medicine wheel teaches, ALL are welcome!

Over the years I have gained experience in working with children, adolescence, and adults who have presented with multiple compounding traumas and a variety of mental health disorders/co-occurring disorders. These include grief and loss, complex mental health issues, addictions, life transitions, depression, intergenerational trauma, selfharming behaviors, suicidal ideation, abusive relationships, eating disorders, childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, PTSD, CPTSD and so on. I have experience with various therapeutic modalities. Therefore, therapy options and a specific therapeutic plan will be reviewed collaboratively in session with you. You are not alone!

I am a registered provider with IRS and NIHB for status and non-status Indigenous individuals in order to access free services.
