My name is Liv Vance, and I am a seasoned Social Worker. I have been helping people for over 30 years. I spent 21 years working as a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) before returning to university to study Social Work – earning my Master's in Social Work from Lakehead University.

 

I have 2 grown sons, both residing in Thunder Bay. I have lived and worked in Kenora, Marathon and up the James Bay Coast. Most of my career has been spent living and working in Thunder Bay. I have worked with a variety of populations, with my main focus being adults. 

 

Areas of Focus

depression and anxiety

gender-based violence

life transitions

relationship challenges

parenting

grief and loss

workplace challenges

 

As an extra skill, I am trained as a Nature and Forest Therapist, working with individuals residing in Thunder Bay. We will visit a location in nature for our therapy session. Allowing the natural surroundings to work their wonder, followed by a brief talk session. If you struggle with depression or anxiety, this is a lovely way to honour your mind, body and spirit.
