Faith, Culture, and Psychology with Joanne Ginter

What happens when psychology, faith, and culture are treated as essential parts of the healing process rather than side notes? In this episode of the True North Success Podcast, Gary Mah sits down with registered psychologist Joanne Ginter to explore how honoring a person’s full story can transform therapy, leadership, and life.

Joanne brings more than 40 years of clinical experience working with children, adults, families, and Indigenous communities. She shares how her early work in school psychology evolved into a deep commitment to cultural awareness, religious inclusion, and trauma-informed care. Joanne explains why she returned to university mid-career to study religious studies and how that decision reshaped her approach to psychology.

The conversation also dives into Joanne’s current focus on creative trauma-focused therapy. She explains how expressive arts, metaphor, and hypnotic techniques can help clients heal in powerful and meaningful ways. Joanne reflects on what truly sets professionals apart, the importance of knowing who you want to serve, and why creating spaces where people feel safe and at home matters so much.
