Hi and welcome! My name is Joanna Brubacher and I have always loved connecting with people. I grew up in a close-knit community, that focused on peacemaking. As I have lived life, I came to know different ways of moving through distress and conflict. I found this fascinating, and I grew to understand how different family systems impact one another. I became interested in supporting people through conflict and healing after having the experience of moving through conflict in my own life and doing my own healing. I spent 15 years working in community, and supporting people with diverse support needs, with differing abilities.
Through life experience, I felt the impact of mental health, the stigma attached to it in society and I began to feel the negative impact of being separated from nature. I have spent the last decade learning more about how to support one another holistically and have learned how to listen in a new way through mediation, sitting in circle and therapy. Therapy has helped me understand my emotions and how to move out of unhealthy relational patterns. Therapy has helped me process traumas, when I didn’t realize the weight of their impact. It has supported me through difficult conflicts and helped me be a better parent, partner, employee, friend, sibling and daughter. As a queer parent that has moved through a divorce, I am excited to work with couples in conflict that want support in finding a healthy path forward together or support in separating. In experiencing co-parenting and supporting adults in conflict coaching, I am eager to help people make plans that will support children well. I have experience and welcome in people who have non-conventional relationships, the LGBTQ2+ community as well as people who identify as neurodiverse or are on the autism spectrum.
In our first session together, you will learn more about my approach, you will share about what you hope to achieve in therapy and what brought you to reach out for support. You will have the opportunity to express any needs, fears or hopes and together we will decide the best way to move forward together. I believe everyone has the capacity for healing and autonomy. As a trauma informed therapist, I work relationally with people to build strength and skill in handling unwanted feelings and situations. I use empathic listening to build trust with people so we may work together in exploring change. Through a strength based, narrative therapeutic approach I listen to people’s stories and support them in hearing their inner voice. In understanding one’s own narrative, I help people build a narrative of strength, skill and hope for the future.

I am a proud citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario, and I approach my work as a nurse
psychotherapist with deep respect for both my cultural heritage and the diverse needs
of those I serve. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN), a Diploma in Practical
Nursing, and I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Social Work with a focus on
Indigenous field of study through Wilfrid Laurier University.
As a Registered Nurse since 2008, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of
clinical settings, providing care for children, youth, adults, and their families. My
experience spans both physical and mental health, and I am particularly passionate
about promoting holistic wellness—recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body,
and spirit in healing.
I take a client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach to therapy,
creating a safe space for individuals to embark on their healing journey. My practice
integrates both Western therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
(SFBT), with Indigenous ways of knowing, teachings, and cultural practices.
I believe that true healing is multi-dimensional, and I work collaboratively with clients to
blend traditional Indigenous wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques. My goal is to
empower clients by honoring their personal stories and cultural identities, fostering
resilience, and supporting them in creating meaningful change.
Whether you are seeking support for trauma, mental health concerns, or personal
growth, I am here to walk alongside you in your journey toward well-being.
