Who We Are
Tanisi, Tawow! /Hello, Welcome!
We offer psychological and counselling services for Indigenous, BIPOC, and Non-Indigenous people. We provide services to all communities and populations residing in Alberta with locations in Edmonton, and Calgary, and through online formats.
We are immersed in the culture we share on Turtle Island and believe in being inclusive.
Our team believes in the Two-Eyed Seeing by Elder Albert Marshall approach to helping people. We need to understand the importance of culture and how this can impact a person's healing and well-being in a psychological setting. In addition, we as professionals need to engage in the culture to truly understand the meaning and how this can help the people we work with. All our providers are trauma-informed and have certification in one or more of the following: Somatic, Somatic Attachment, Indigenous Focused Oriented Therapy, ART, EMDR, and more. We are a growing practice that allows others to share their passion for working with Indigenous populations.
