A battle is going on inside each one of us. It is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One wolf is hurtful and ugly. The wolf is angry, envious, greedy, self-pitying, sorrowful, regretful, guilty, resentful, deceitful, and full of false pride, selfish, and arrogant. The other wolf is helpful and friendly, joyful, peaceful, loving, hopeful, serene, humble, kind, just, and compassionate. This same fight is going on inside of you and inside of every human being. The question is, “Which wolf will win?” The answer is, “The one you feed.”
To provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive, evidence- and strengths-based mental health treatment and assessment services to individuals and families involved in justice anchored in a transformative justice approach.
The TJHLP vision is to develop a 60-bed Transformative Justice Living Community to promote a justice response that centers on healing, accountability, resilience, and safety for high-risk 18-—to 26-year-old emerging adult males impacted by the legal system.
Originally from Canada, Dr. Dickie knew from a young age that she would find passion in fighting for the marginalized. For over 25 years, she has dedicated her life to reducing victimization and has found joy in creating more therapeutic outcomes for those involved and working in the legal system.
Our founder developed the Healthy Lifestyles Program, a welcoming and safe place for individuals to explore their mental health and how it relates to their risk of involvement in the criminal justice system.
After earning a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Spalding University and spending several years of training working within correctional settings, Dr. Tinsley has been witness to numerous instances where individuals she worked with were negatively impacted by the nuances of the justice system. Dr. Tinsley noticed the underlying triggers and traumas experienced by justice-involved individuals are often overlooked. She is passionate about helping individuals explore what it means to feel safe, peaceful, and free.
