Our Services are Holistic, Culturally grounded, and Transformative.
We honour our clients’ lived and painful experiences and inner strengths to help them recover from the wounds of trauma.
We build on these strengths and resilience within individuals and communities and leverage cultural and faith-based systems that support people in making sense of their pain and finding meaning – transforming communities.
We create counselling spaces that offer clients opportunities to express multiple worldviews and ways of being in their journey to recovery from trauma.
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in the understanding that healing is a journey influenced by social and cultural contexts, our client’s experiences, and the cultural frame through which they view the world and healing.
Our guiding approach is strength-based and informed by research to promote healing and well-being for individuals, families, and communities.
We use evidence-based techniques and culturally adapted intervention strategies to build on resilience within individuals and communities, emphasizing psychological reconstruction, healing, and personal and community transformations.

Transformation
We build on existing strength and resilience to facilitate individual and communal healing from the wounds of trauma. We support individual, family, and community sense-making and finding meaning in experiences of trauma. And we focus on community building and emphasize psychological reconstruction and personal and community transformations.
Our Team
Our therapists speak multiple languages and are certified in Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to address trauma-induced mental health problems in children, youth, families, and communities.
We believe in the unique gifts within clients, even if traumatic experiences make them less likely to see their internal strengths and wisdom.
