Faith Chaput (she/her) is a crip queer femme who is Métis/Scottish. Faith is a member of the Wolf Clan. Faith’s family hails from the Red River, Treaty 1 Territory. Faith is a trained counsellor and registered social worker with a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from York University’s School of Social Work. Faith is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers. Faith’s experience is rooted in the work she has done supporting Indigenous and 2SLGBTQQ adults and families exploring queerness (gender identity, sexuality), coping with unresolved pain, intergenerational trauma and grief.

As part of the Weaving Wellness team, Faith acts as the Clinic Manager and provides oversight for the administrative, relational and clinical operations within the Centre. Additionally, Faith works with clients providing individual psychotherapy. As a queer parent, Faith loves supporting queer and trans folks on their parenting journey and is passionate about reproductive justice. Faith is also ardent about disability justice and supporting people with chronic illness and pain, in addition to those living with complex and developmental trauma.

In her practice, Faith works from an integrative place: braiding together somatics, psychoeducation, ancestral wisdom to support your journey to come back home to yourself. Faith primarily works from a somatic place (Somatic Experiencing), but also includes mindfulness and self-compassion in her work. Faith believes in the medicine of laughter and safety—and supports a healing space that is collaborative (and sometimes even fun!). Faith is deeply invested in collective liberation and healing as a community. Foundational to her practice are the values of self-determination and non-interference.
