Mindie Noordenbos

BSW, RSW

Mindie graduated with her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Manitoba in 2006.

Her helping journey began as a Social Worker for Child and Family Services. While there, she encompassed many roles within the organization; from front line case management, to providing child in care supports, foster home supports, as well as some time spent supervising front line workers.

Mindie’s strong passion in ensuring children are safe, loved and nurtured, and that parents have the supports and tools to help them be the best parents they can be, led her to a very fulfilling 17 year career with Child and Family Services.

This same passion and commitment to children and families and their wellbeing, led Mindie to venture out and begin her journey in private counselling at Home Counselling and Wellness in 2022. 

Mindie is passionate and genuine in her desire to help people reconnect and rediscover their inner
strengths. The foundation to her work begins with ensuring she creates a safe, compassionate,
judgement free space, where people can begin to heal.

Mindie values, respects and honors client’s vulnerability and courage to share their stories and
struggles. Using a client-centred, strengths based, trauma informed approach, Mindie meets her clients
where they are at and walks along side them in their journey to healing.

She believes that her client are the experts of their lives, and by building a safe, trusting relationship, and working collaboratively, they can gain the tools needed to move towards personal growth and happiness.

There is a profound peacefulness that comes in acknowledging and sharing one’s struggles, and then taking back control of your life by learning to calm your own storm.

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.” -Brene Brown

On a personal note, outside of her passion for helping others, Mindie is a wife, and proud Mom of two teenagers. Her time is spent baking, playing with her 3 dogs and building memories with her family. She has a strong passion in continually learning and living a life of health, wellness and balance. If Mindie isn’t at work you would find her in the outdoors, the gym or the kitchen baking.
