We are seeing some rainbow washing, this Pride and wanted to bring some awareness to what this is and what it means. If you’re profiting from posting a rainbow or hosting a Pride themed event, ask yourself if you’re practicing good allyship.

Here’s a summary of the work Amanda has done, to back up the rainbow logo currently on the profile pic.

🌈 Amanda’s Contributions to the Q***r Community 🌈

First and foremost, Amanda is a member of the q***r community herself. Her advocacy, leadership, and professional work are grounded in lived experience, personal investment, and a commitment to helping create safer, more inclusive communities for LGBTQ+ people.

💜 Community Leadership & Advocacy

* 🎉 Helps organize Pride celebrations, flag raisings, educational events, and community gatherings

* 🏳️‍🌈 Amplifies q***r voices and encourages organizations to create opportunities for authentic representation
* 🤝 Builds connections between community members, organizations, and allies

🏛️ Systems Change & Education

* 📚 Encourages municipalities, schools, and organizations to engage in allyship and inclusion education
* 🔍 Challenges institutions to examine barriers that prevent people from being safely “out”
* 🗣️ Promotes conversations about equity, belonging, and inclusion
* 🌱 Encourages organizations to move beyond symbolic gestures toward meaningful action

🧠 Mental Health & Community Care

* ❤️ Provides affirming mental health support to LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults
* 🌈 Creates safer therapeutic spaces where q***r people can explore identity, relationships, trauma, and resilience

* 💪 Demonstrates that q***r leadership exists and thrives outside of major urban centres
* 🌟 Helps foster communities where people can be seen, valued, and supported

💖 At the Heart of Amanda’s Work

Amanda’s contribution is not simply professional—it’s personal. As a q***r person, community member, advocate, educator, and counsellor, she works to help create communities where LGBTQ+ people are:

* ✅ Safe
* ✅ Seen
* ✅ Heard
* ✅ Celebrated
* ✅ Represented
* ✅ Empowered

🌈 Her work is rooted in the belief that q***r people deserve more than tolerance—they deserve belonging. 🌈

Not every client will have a positive experience with every therapist. Hearing about other people’s negative experiences in therapy or with a specific therapist should not always be taken as a reason for you not to attend therapy or see that therapist.

A negative experience doesn’t automatically mean the therapist is incompetent, unethical, or ineffective.

Therapy is deeply personal. People may leave therapy feeling helped, challenged, disappointed, misunderstood, empowered, frustrated, or somewhere in between. Sometimes those experiences reflect genuine concerns. Sometimes they reflect a poor fit, differing expectations, difficult therapeutic work, or simply the reality that no therapist is the right match for everyone.

When considering a therapist, be cautious about drawing conclusions based on one person’s opinion alone. A single negative review, story, or rumour tells us very little in isolation.

Instead, consider:
• Whether concerns are specific and behaviour-based
• Whether there is a consistent pattern of concerns
• Whether ethical issues are involved
• Most importantly, your own experience with the therapist

Mental health care is built on relationships, and what feels helpful for one person may not feel helpful for another.

One person’s negative opinion is not evidence of therapist incompetence. Different people have different experiences, needs, personalities, and goals.

Curiosity, critical thinking, and direct experience are often better guides than rumours.

✨ A few years ago, we received feedback from a client who wasn’t sure if they were “allowed” to come back just to talk. No trauma processing. No bilateral stimulation. Just conversation. Just connection. It’s never “just” talking; talking is an essential part of EMDR.

The answer was — and still is — absolutely. 🤍

While EMDR is one of the approaches we use, therapy doesn’t always need to focus on trauma, deep processing, or structured interventions. Sometimes therapy looks like:

🌿 Exploring your story through narrative therapy
🌿 Finding motivation and values through motivational interviewing
🌿 Examining systems, power, identity, and lived experience through feminist therapy
🌿 Or simply showing up and talking with someone you trust

Sometimes the work is the relationship. Sometimes the working alliance is enough.

You don’t need to have a crisis. You don’t need a trauma target. You don’t need to “do therapy right.”

You can come exactly as you are. 💛

Behind every therapist is… approximately 47 notebooks, an alarming amount of coffee, and a brain that never really stops thinking about humans and healing ☕📝✨

Meet the humans behind the therapy chairs. 💛

Amanda and Paula each bring their own style, personality, lived experiences, humour, and approach to the work — but we share the same core belief:

People deserve spaces where they feel safe, seen, respected, and genuinely understood.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” people. It’s about making space for growth, insight, healing, and sometimes laughter in the middle of hard things.

So here’s a little sketchbook peek into the people behind the practice — the coffee drinkers, note takers, question askers, hope holders, and fellow humans walking alongside others. 🌿

✨ Amanda (she/they) – supporting adolescents and adults, in person in Humboldt or online from anywhere.
✨ Paula (she/her) – supporting adults and children, in person in Saskatoon or online from anywhere.

No perfection required. Just humanity. 🤍
