Indigenous Counselling

Informed, Compassionate Care for Indigenous Counselling

In regards to indigenous counselling, we understand that the challenges are severe. First Nations people face a massive slew of systemic problems such as racism, discrimination, loss of culture, neglect, abuse, addiction, fetal alcohol syndrome, and trauma. However, these are not all the issues they face. Understanding the large degree to which these proud people have been forced out of their natural living circumstances makes up a large part of our counselling programs. Speak with our indigenous counsellors to see how they place Indigenous relations at the forefront of their practice.

Unique Solutions for Indigenous Counselling

In addition to providing individual therapy to the brave men and women who defend our rights, and protect our communities, we also offer support to their families. The stress of not knowing if your spouse, parent, son, or daughter will return from work can be overwhelming. Our services include child and adolescent therapy for kids dealing with the absence of a parent, marriage and family counselling, speech therapy, and grief counselling. We believe in a systemic approach to treatment because children and spouses also need recognition, support, and treatment. We value and support the members of the community in their duty, and we hold them in the highest regard. Supporting Wellness Psychological & Family Services is a place where families can receive help for issues related to military service and more. We believe that change is possible, and we want our clients to know it as well. Together, we can open the door to a new chapter of wellness, happiness, and stability.
