Kendra Shaw, MSW (Cand.)

 

I am currently pursuing a Master’s of Social Work at the University of Victoria, having previously obtained an undergraduate degree in Psychology from MacEwan University. Additionally, I have over five years of experience working in community mental health. With a belief in the inherent wisdom within each person, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your inner self, uncover your strengths, and navigate your unique life journey. I believe in honoring the mind-body-spirit connection and work holistically to support you in achieving balance and harmony in your life. My therapeutic approach is grounded in anti-oppressive principles, recognizing the impact of systemic inequalities on individuals' mental health and well-being and the limits of our western mental health system. I am committed to fostering awareness of social justice issues and working collaboratively with clients to address and challenge oppressive structures and find healing beyond western consciousness.
