A New Kind of Healing…

Meet the Founder

Dr. Ida Dickie

Licensed Clinical Forensic Psychologist

I grew up in the small northern town of Wabush, Labrador, NFLD. I knew at a young age I would find passion in fighting for the marginalized. I obtained a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology, which provides me with the specialized skill set needed to be most effective in the justice system. One of my most profound training experiences was the privilege of working with Ojibwe elders in Canada, who taught me how to see the humanity in people who hurt others and the importance of incorporating culture into the delivery of mental health services.  For over 25 years, I have dedicated my life to reducing victimization and found joy in creating more therapeutic outcomes for those involved and working in the legal system.

Which Wolf Do You Feed?

A Tale of Two Wolves

A battle is going on inside each one of us. It is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One wolf is hurtful and ugly. The wolf is angry, envious, greedy, self-pitying, sorrowful, regretful, guilty, resentful, deceitful, and full of false pride, selfish, and arrogant. The other wolf is helpful and friendly, joyful, peaceful, loving, hopeful, serene, humble, kind, just, and compassionate. This same fight is going on inside of you and inside of every human being. The question is, “Which wolf will win?” The answer is,

“The one you feed.”
