Jamie Maher (she/they), MSW, RSW

LGBTQ+ Therapist and Registered Clinical Social Worker in Nova Scotia

Jamie is a queer, Indigenous therapist and registered social worker offering therapy that is compassionate, queer affirming, anti-racist, sex positive, body neutral, feminist, and trauma informed. Jamie works with youth (16+) and adults addressing a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and intergenerational trauma. She is experienced in providing affirming support to those who are exploring gender and/or sexuality. Her treatment approach draws from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy.

Clients have described Jamie as warm, caring, empathic, supportive, funny and curious. Her warm sense of humour makes therapy less intimidating and her ability to integrate an awareness of mindfulness, mental health, addictions, and harm reduction strategies through both formal and informal lived experience facilitates her ability to hold space for her client’s needs.
