My name is Nadine Tilma (she/her) and I specialize in queer, feminist, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approaches. At the core of my work is a passion for healing wounds of intergenerational trauma for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC), holistic approaches to mental wellness, and the decolonization of eurocentric healing practices. I take pride in approaching therapy from a creative lens and lean heavily on art, somatic, and movement therapies, as well as emotion-focused, narrative, mindfulness, EMDR, transpersonal, and family systems theories. My skills and approaches tend to work best with clients who are ready to engage in deep healing.

​

I value collaboration, safety in all forms, the embracing of our whole selves, creativity, individual differences, honesty, empowerment, playfulness, connection and the healing of the collective.

 

I have been particularly honoured to walk with folks on their journey in navigating the violence of structural oppression to their own paths of healing and liberation. I have witnessed the incredible change possible in individuals when they feel safe, heard and have access to their sense of agency. Each of us have our own stories and, together, I hope to support you in creating your own healing paths through therapy.  My guiding belief is that each person is an expert in their own life, and my role is to support you in building on the strengths, resources and resiliency that inevitably exist within you. I am available for counselling both in English and French.
