Just Healing Psychotherapy resides on Treaty 1 territory, the homeland of the Métis Nation. This is the traditional land of the Brokenhead, Sagkeeng, Long Plain, Peguis, Roseau River, Sandy Bay and Swan Lake communities. The land encompassed by Treaty 1 includes Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Selkirk, Steinbach, Grand Beach, Emerson, Winkler and many more.
Just Healing Psychotherapy recognizes these Nations and any other Nations who cared and still care for the land, acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded, as this land’s past, present and future caretakers.
Just Healing recognizes, welcomes and includes the multiple intersections that shape one’s identity and life experiences. I acknowledge that life challenges, how a person is perceived, how they navigate their relationships, choices, finances, health, self-care, coping, life transitions, identity, belief systems, and much more, are impacted and informed by many systemic structural/powers beyond one’s immediate circles, family systems, abilities, hard work and control.
I see healing as an act of resistance, reclamation of one’s existence and reconciliation of the mind, body (soma), and soul-spirit. It is a personal journey towards self-realization and restoration in the sense of coming home to oneself. It is an act of liberation.
Healing can be both exciting and scary, encouraging and challenging. You will not be doing it alone, I will support you along that journey.
