Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They/Them
Hana/Shy Hubicki is an art therapist that offers individual psychotherapy. Their practice is informed by anti-oppressive frameworks grounded in intersectionality, disability justice and queer ecology.
They believe in the power of connecting to one’s innate wisdom and are passionate in supporting individuals navigating healing, self-discovery and empowerment.
Their approach to healing is deeply rooted in the anti-oppressive lens of disability justice that supports “life models that encompass falling apart and reforming not as a failure but as a life pathway” (Piepzna-Samarasinha, 2018). Hana/Shy believes in the importance of breathing life into resilience, acknowledging and celebrating fractures and seams, honouring survival, and building narratives imbued with life-giving knowledge. It is Hana/Shy’s hope to provide a therapeutic space that fosters safety, reflection and possibilities for liberation.
Hana/Shy also has a deep love for the non-human world and recognizes that ecological entanglement can lead to a deeper connection with our environment and ourselves to support sustainable and informed responses to our own grief, trauma and/or climate anxiety.

Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy seeks to be a respectful, non-blaming approach to therapy which centres you as the expert in your own life. Our work together can support in the building of new, alternative stories that reflect your true capabilities.
My Values & Approaches
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use Internal Family Systems principles to support and guide our work together in becoming curious about your internal world and the many parts that make up your Self.
Liberation Psychology
I am informed by liberation psychology and integrate decolonial theory to support individuals experiencing systemic oppression. I am guided by values that emphasize social justice and human dignity to foster agency.
Disability Justice
I draw from disability justice theory to challenge ableism and support your bodily autonomy. My approach fosters self-acceptance and recognizes disability as a part of human diversity.
