Beth Ann Short LLC

Also known as BA
Pronouns: they/them

Locations of Self: I identify as a mixed race, gender queer/nonbinary person. I come from a diasporic Maliseet/Wolastiqiyik family who left Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada. I experience multiple invisible disabilities. I grew up around the Great Lakes region, living in both Michigan and Ontario, Canada throughout my youth. Experiences and aspects of my own identity and social locations are always interacting within me and the work I do as clinician, supervisor, educator and storyteller. I am committed to provide support that affirms all the social locations of those whom I serve. I am committed to continually work to identify and contract any elements of my own privilege as it arises. I am a strong lover of art history, especially art that traces and tells the stories relating to the journeys of humankind. My goal in all my work is to support individuals honoring their creative process, personal strengths, and intersections while providing tangible opportunities for healing and growth in any facet of life. I also believe in the importance of acknowledging, questions and creatively dismantling historical systemic power structures that have been in place and have unfairly disadvantaged individuals.
