Hiedi has 18+yrs experience working with clients in therapeutic areas of justice, education, community mental health & addictions, and private practice. Hiedi specializes in working with persons impacted by trauma using a variety of modalities: AEDP, EMDR, ART, progressive exposure therapy, CBT, and Emotion Focused therapy. She is experienced working with clients impacted by residential school, 60’s scoop, and intergenerational violence and addiction. Additionally Hiedi can offer individual and group integration as well as preparation sessions for clients interested in psychedelic therapy modalities for treatment of PTSD, depression, additions, pain management, and end-of-life.
Hiedi empowers client’s strengths and resilience, while identifying the adaptive tendencies (defenses) that helped clients to survive in their lives thus far - but may not be working for them today.
