Suneeta Johnson - Owner & Primary Practitioner
Some people call me Sunny! I use she/her pronouns. I specialize in self advocacy, boundary setting & values based work with a foundation in empathy & recognition. I hold a MA in Counselling Psychology and a BA in Child and Youth Care Counselling with a specialization in Child Protection. I also have certifications in First Nations Social Work Delegation Training through the Aboriginal Perspective Society, Mental Health First Aid, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention.
I identify as a heterosexual, cisgendered female, Canadian born to Fijian Indian/Australian settler parents. I am a wife and fur momma to two orange tabby cats (Emry and Murphy) and one high energy Golden Retriever (Charlie).
Living through my own childhood trauma I was told by society to just get over it. As a result I struggled with disordered eating, poor self-esteem and bad body talk. Continuing to exist in a bigger body and in a world that likes to blame and shame, I made the choice to fight back against that narrative and start to heal. I wanted to feel worthy of this body and the beautiful life I live.
Through my healing journey I learned that my experiences were real and my feelings were valid. I learned reconnecting with my body was not scary. Holding space for my own healing has grounded me in my ability to have courage against my triggers and pack my tool box full.
At the end of the day, working with myself or any mental health professional is brave. I am here to support you through your own healing journey, and help you find new tools to help regulate and navigate this complex and nuanced life.
