Welcome to J.A.G. Village … A Place to Be Held

Life can be incredibly challenging, especially when we feel like we have to carry it all alone. At J.A.G. Village, we believe that healing begins with connection. Whether you’re navigating grief, loss, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to walk alongside you … with compassion, care, and a deep respect for your unique journey.

I’m Jodi Gorham, a Registered Social Worker, College Professor, and most importantly, a mother to two beautiful children … Davis, whom I hold in my arms, and Jorja, whom I hold forever in my heart. My personal and professional experiences in children’s mental health, social justice, and education have shaped my passion for grief work and community care.

At J.A.G. Village, we specialize in grief, mourning, and bereavement support. We understand how disorienting and isolating these experiences can be, and we’re committed to creating a space where all emotions are welcome … where love and loss, joy and sorrow, can coexist.

Our approach is holistic and heart-centered, moving away from traditional medical models that often overlook the full humanity of those they serve. We honour your story, your culture, your values, and your pace. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

For those who are interested, I also integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) Narrative Therapy Internal Family Systems (IFS) Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Solution-Focused Therapy Attachment-Focused and Trauma-Informed Approaches

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a path forward that feels grounded, meaningful, and true to you.

You are not alone … You are welcome here.
