Joddie Walker, MSC, RP
Clinical Director, CTRI. Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute
Two decades of meeting people exactly where they
need to be met.
Joddie Walker is a Registered Psychotherapist and founding Clinical Director of Hummingbird Therapy Clinic. She built the clinic on a simple belief: thoughtful, evidence-based therapy should be accessible to anyone navigating something difficult — children, teens, adults, couples, families, and those whose work exposes them to trauma.
Joddie’s team brings clinical expertise across the lifespan, supporting children and youth through play, art, and skills-based therapy; adults through anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions; and couples and families through relationship challenges. They also bring specialized understanding of first-responder culture — firefighters, paramedics, police, corrections, dispatch, and the families who carry the impact home.
Whatever brought you here, you don’t need to have the right words for it yet. You just need a place where someone can listen, and where the work that comes next is shaped around you.
Authentic, evidence-based motivational training and psychotherapy to promote resilience.
Three commitments that shape every session, every program, every conversation.
01 — Method. Evidence-based.
Modalities chosen for the person, not the trend. CBT, EMDR-informed work, somatic regulation, mindfulness skills, music and art for younger clients, and group debriefing — applied with clinical precision.
02 — Lens. Trauma-informed.
Pace, choice, and safety are not extras — they’re the structure of every interaction. We assume nothing, push nothing, and build trust before we ask anything of you.
03 — Fit. First Responder Culturally aware.
Care that fits your life, your work, your family system, your stage of life. From a kindergartener afraid of the dark to a chief two years from retirement — the approach changes; the respect
doesn’t.
A clinic for the whole community — tuned to specific lives.
We don’t generalize trauma care. Each of the populations below has its own pace, language, and recovery patterns — and we tune our approach to meet them.
01 Children
Music art, and skills-based therapy from age 4 and up.
02 Youth & Teens
School stress, identity, anxiety, and the bigness of growing up.
03 Adults
Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
04 Couples & Families
Communication, conflict, parenting, and healing together.
05 First Responders
Active and retired — police, fire, EMS, corrections, dispatch.
06 Helping Professionals
Nurses, physicians, victim advocates, and frontline workers.
