Meet the therapist, Juanita Marshall (they/them)
*Currently not accepting clients*
Canadian Certified Counsellor, Juanita Marshall, holds a Master of Counselling degree with a specialization in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University, along with a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Calgary. They understand how complicated and stressful life can be when we find ourselves faced with significant challenges or trauma. Juanita has experience supporting frontline first responders/emergency medical services personnel with complex trauma, individuals with chronic pain and/or disabilities, and transgender individuals seeking to connect with their authentic selves.
About Juanita
As a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Juanita’s life’s journey has been to create peace through the ongoing formation of an authentic sense of self that allows breathing space from social expectations that arise through cultural norms that often shape our lives without being questioned. Juanita believes that many of us who begin our healing practices do so from a deep yearning to become comfortable in ourselves, our bodies, and our unique vibrant lives. Counselling is an excellent pathway to explore and change the stories we tell about ourselves and those we have absorbed from others that do not accurately describe who we feel we are and want to become.
