About Authentic Being

Having spent a decade in law enforcement working in criminal intelligence and then communications, Jody has been able to apply her experiences and interests to provide a unique perspective for individuals interested in changing their thought patterns and routines. Employment as an Elder Abuse Social Worker and then as a Mental Health Therapist with Alberta Health Services has deepened her knowledge of various serious mental health conditions and allowed her to develop skills as a group facilitator.

Throughout her career, she has continued to train and receive education for various therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing and most recently Somatic Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
