Mental health supports/ counselling

---

If you hold a status registration card, you may be eligible for up to 22 counselling sessions billed directly through Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB). More sessions can be arranged on a case-by-case basis, with prior approval completed on your behalf. We handle all direct billing, ensuring no out-of-pocket expenses for you. For more details about prior approval and session allotments, visit NIHB Information.

Receipts are provided for extended health benefits through Green Shield. Telus Health, approved provider and direct bill available. For those not covered by NIHB, sessions are available at $190/hour. To reduce barriers to care, we offer a sliding scale, and these sessions may qualify for tax credits and extended health care plans.

Virtual and In-Person Counselling

We provide virtual counselling across Ontario and in-person sessions in Whitby, Ontario. Our approach blends traditional Indigenous healing methods with modern therapeutic practices, tailored to what works best for you.

Holistic and Trauma-Informed Healing

In our sessions, we integrate traditional and Western approaches, including:

• Drumming (EMDR): Harnessing rhythm to promote healing.
• Storytelling (Narrative Therapy): Sharing your story to find strength and meaning.
• Smudging and Traditional Medicine Use: Grounded in trauma-informed care.
• Referrals: Connecting you with additional supports as needed.

Expert Guidance with Cultural Sensitivity

Led by a Psychotherapist (BSW, RSW, OCSSSW) trained in trauma assessment and solution-focused brief therapy, our counselling respects and honors your cultural identity while offering effective mental health support.
