Sandra Joe, MSW, RSW
Authorized in RPI (Restricted Psychosocial Interventions)
I am a certified and registered Mental Health Therapist who uses a combination of psychotherapy modalities that are holistic, client centered, trauma informed, and outcome based. As of 2024, I have been practicing for 31 years. I am respectful, empowering, intuitive, and culturally sensitive while providing mental health therapy, clinical supervision or managing front line professionals. Humor is also an important part of my practice as well as being my authentic self.
My vast experience working with Traumatized individuals, families and communities have been eye opening, fast paced and often involves helping others walk through the dark side of humanity. My three decades of clinical training and ongoing annual therapeutic certifications for licensing and registration requirements ensures I hold the skills needed to treat others who have worked with or experienced poverty, abuse, organized crime, addiction and mental health, living on and off Indigenous Reservations, Metis Settlements, including collaborating with systems and professionals from RCMP, CFSA, Mental Health, Primary Care Services, Probation, Judicial System, Schools, Universities, Chief and Council and Farming Communities.
