Clinical Counselling Services

Strawberry Medicine Counselling Inc. is a mental health counselling service dedicated to improving the wellbeing of Indigenous people and their communities. We provide culturally sensitive and trauma-informed counselling and support to those who need it. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for our clients, and to providing them with the tools and resources to help them heal and rebuild their mental health. Our experienced counsellors draw from a variety of Indigenous traditions to offer holistic and compassionate support.

​

Our services include:

Two Eyed Seeing Counselling Services

Two-Eyed Seeing is taking the best of global knowledge systems with the best of Indigenous knowledge systems and bringing them together to best serve All Our Relations. It is through bridging these knowledge systems that we find answers to issues faced in an evolving cultural space.

Our Registered Clinical Counsellors facilitate counselling as ceremony and hold space for your healing of Spirit, Mind, and Body.
We work from an Indigenous perspective and have studied many knowledge systems of wellness. We have combed through and bundled together these knowledge systems of Spirit, Mind, and Body and braided them together to offer this medicine bundle to All Our Relations seeking balance and connection.
