THE FOUNDATION

TEEGAN JOWETT (SHE/HER)

B.A.Hons., B.S.W., M.S.W., R.S.W.
Founder, Unscripted Therapy

Unscripted Therapy was born from both living experience and a deep conviction to disrupt systems that pathologizes human suffering.

I’ve always been a natural-born rebel, someone who never quite fit into systems, and never stopped challenging them either. My path into mental health care has always been about truth-telling, disrupting what harms, and holding space for a homecoming back to self.

I began my university journey seven months pregnant, in the midst of an identity crisis, unsure of my path, but certain I needed to find something more. It was through navigating my own perinatal mental health journey that I was held and supported by social workers who truly got it. That experience changed me, and it called me into this work.

From the start, my academic and professional journey has centered the realities I know intimately: intergenerational poverty, trauma, substance use, ableism, and the ways institutions shape our sense of worth.

My studies in psychology and social work have always led back to same reckoning: the harm of systems that treat people as problems to fix, and the radical power of being seen as whole.

I completed my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work at York University, and have worked in community settings, supporting people impacted by poverty, racism, trauma, and systemic violence.

This private practice has been a dream since day one. I am so grateful to be here in alignment with where I truly want to be, and in a space I’ve built with care. My mission is simple: to create a space where you belong, too.
