Jennie MacPhee-Woodburn
Individual Counsellor
Registered Social Worker
BSW, MSW, RSW*
As an individual therapist, I work collaboratively with youth and adults to heal trauma, support and explore neurodivergence, mental health, identity, relationships and confidence.
In sessions with me, we will explore how you learned to cope and navigate the world, and how that is still showing up in present-day experiences and relationships/interactions. We will go beyond what is happening at the surface, and work through what is happening underneath. As we grow personal insight and self-confidence in who we are over time, coping and navigating the world becomes more manageable.
Many of the clients I work with are formally diagnosed or self-identified Autistic and/or ADHD, and many are members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. I have a particular interest in the intersection of neurodivergence and trauma, including developmental, attachment, and complex trauma. I also enjoy working with youth to support and navigate big emotions, communication, boundary setting and self-advocacy, neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, giftedness, learning disabilities), sexual and gender identity, coping with big life transitions, and navigating relationships.
I am a queer, cisgender, neurodivergent white settler woman. For the past ten years I have worked and volunteered in feminist and 2SLBTQIA+ communities and organizations. My method is integrative and trauma-focused, primarily using Internal Family Systems Therapy with elements of sensorimotor psychotherapy; specifically tailored to meet each individual client’s values, needs, and strengths.
I have a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Victoria.
I have current availability to take on new clients and look forward to connecting with you soon!
