Crescendo Counselling: Community Care & Creative Healing

Welcome to Crescendo Counselling's community space.

Sadie Smith (they, them) is a registered counsellor and music and imagery therapy practitioner. They facilitate Crescendo Counselling grounded in person-centred, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive work. Sadie believes healing isn't just individual, it's collective. This group is where that happens.

Sadie works with politically conscious, justice-minded folks using Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), talk therapy, and community-based healing practices. They work with your whole self: your rage, your hope, your politics, your creativity, your exhaustion.

What this group is: A space for community care in action. Hosting workshops, creative events, skill-shares, and gatherings designed to build collective healing and resistance. This isn't therapy in a group setting, it's community building grounded in therapeutic principles.

Who this is for:

• Politically conscious people who believe activism needs community
• Creatively-minded folks who process through art, music, movement
• Folks tired of individual solutions to systemic problems
• Queer, BIPOC, disabled, and other marginalized folks seeking anti-oppressive space and their allies.
• Anyone who thinks healing and resistance go together

What to expect: Events range from protest sign workshops to creative gatherings to skill-shares on trauma, activism, and community care.

All events are:

• Trauma-informed & person-centred
• Anti-oppressive & explicitly queer/BIPOC-friendly
• Donation-based or free (no financial barriers)
• Grounded in harm-reduction principles
  Held with care for your whole self
