Hello, my name is Josh LaForte. I am an Indigenous psychotherapist committed to working from an anti-oppressive, humanistic, and harm-reduction lens. With 7 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, families, and groups. I approach healing by drawing from trauma-informed, person-centred, decolonial, and holistic practices. My goal is to support individuals on their unique paths to healing, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all.
I have experience in helping those living in marginalized populations who have experienced trauma and those who live with addictions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I have experience working with the Indigenous population and working to de-stigmatizing and empower people to access mental health care.
I believe humans are relational beings, and the interconnectedness of one's life experiences is crucial. I guide individuals to become their most authentic selves, collaboratively creating a roadmap for purpose and fulfillment. Rooted in the belief that everyone can self-actualize, I support you in connecting your present self with your desired future.
