Hi, I'm Jim! My pronouns are they/them.Â
Welcome to the home of Old Pine Counselling on the interwebs! If you're checking things out, there is a handy menu up top to get you to what you're looking for. If you want to know more about me as a person and a counsellor, that's all on the 'about' page.
If you want to click around and browse, feel free too. I've tried to make things accessible and fun.
If you'd rather listen than read text, click this read-aloud button:
(and yes, it's actually me reading it!)
There's also an 'exit site' button in the top right hand corner that will take you to Wikipedia.
Image description of me:
A non-binary femme person with a shaved head wearing a leather collar and beaded earrings, smiles warmly. They are wearing glasses, and have a tattoo of a pine tree on their chest. They have dark brown eyes and hair, and pale skin. They are Anishinaabe (Algonquin) and mixed.
territory acknowledgment
I've lived and worked on Grand River territory for over a decade now, but this isn't my traditional territory. This land is covered under the Dish with One Spoon wampum belt, and is home to two communities: the Haudenosaunee at Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
An annual portion of my labour and/or income goes toward supporting Ogwehoweh and Anishinaabemowin language revitalization programs.
