Indigrow Psychology

INDIGROW Psychology values brain based approaches to healing trauma in order to create meaningful, sustainable, and lasting change.

We specialize in trauma-informed counselling, where psychological symptoms are viewed and treated as a natural response to unhealed trauma. We are able to heal past traumatic events and alleviate psychological symptoms, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and dysfunctional behavioural patterns through a variety of attachment based approaches and techniques including EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Art and Play Therapy. We offer counselling for individuals, couples, children, youth, and families, and have extensive experience supporting clients of all developmental levels, including those with developmental disabilities. We tailor each session to meet the individual needs of our clients.

As summer winds up, before rushing into another season of productivity, we encourage you to slow down, reflect, and set some intentions (not goals) for the fall.

Seasonal transitions can often stir up stress or trigger old patterns so let’s try approaching this one with curiosity and care. Use our prompts to guide your reflection, and share your favorite responses in the comments below!

🌱 What brought me joy this summer?
🌱 Was there anything I wish I'd had more or less of?
🌱 What is one thing I want to bring with me from summer into the rest of the year?
🌱 What shifts am I noticing in my energy, mood, or routine as fall approaches?
🌱 What would it look like to ease into this next chapter, rather than rush in?
🌱 What is one habit or mindset I’d like to let go of?
🌱 What am I avoiding emotionally, and what might it be trying to teach me?
🌱 What does “balance” look like for me right now (not ideally, but realistically)?
🌱 Who or what helps me feel grounded when things feel uncertain?
🌱 What kind of support might I need, and am I open to asking for it?

Supporting your teen for the transition back to school

Feeling nervous about your teen stepping back into the world of high school after summer break? Our team has put together some expert tips to help you remain securely attached to your teen as you support them with the upcoming transition.

Choose Connection Over Correction
It can be hard to avoid stepping into the role of 'nagging' once the daily responsibilities of morning routines, lunches, after school sports and homework come back into our lives after the summer break.
Before you offer a correction, take a breath and check in with yourself to see if there's a way to offer connection first. Need some connection examples? Ask an open-ended question. Offer a low pressure check-in. Notice a character-based strength of theirs and comment on it. Text them a "thinking of you" message.

Ease Back into Routine
Teens thrive on rhythm—even when they resist it.
Shift sleep schedules gradually
Bring back morning routines and breakfast check-ins
Use car rides for low-pressure conversations. Build in downtime over the week to help you and your teen decompress

Screen Free Connection Times
Mindfully pre-select moments of your day when you and your teen are both going to be fully present. Set the expectation for those time and schedule into your day/week consistently. Model being in the present moment and show genuine interet in your teen.
Need some examples for inspiration? Try screen free meal times, screen free family night, or screen free rides home from school.

Delight in your teen.
Back-to-school season can place your teen in situations where they don't feel fully accepted or where they fear disappointment and failure. Notice what you love about your teen and make a conscious effort to acknowledge the aspects of their character that you love and admire on a weekly basis. This can help them feel seen and accepted for who they truly are, even when life outside of the home gets tough.

We asked our co-founders, Katie and Mckenzie about their vision behind creating INDIGROW. Here's what they have to say:

"We've known each other since our internship programs and have always deeply respected the way the other person works. We formed INDIGROW Psychology in 2021, aiming to offer wrap-around support to clients of all ages in a safe, supportive and trauma-informed setting. We also aimed to create a truly healthy and dynamic workplace where clinicians feel supported, appreciated, valued and where they actually look forward to coming to work each day! We beleive we have created just that and are deeply honorued to get to do the work we do each day."

When we start working wtih clients who have experienced trauma, we often hear them describe that they feel disconnected and separate from the world around them. This feeling can span across settings - home, work, relationships, and the present moment.

The brain-based approach used in the type of trauma therapy we do can help heal past trauma and allows clients to be fully present in their lives today.

Our couples therapists approach couples therapy from an attachment-based lense. Have you ever asked yourself ""why do I shut down when we fight? Why do I feel so anxiousl when my partner is distant? Why do all of these feel so familiar to me?""

These reactions aren’t just about your partner, they’re echoes of your earliest relationships.

Attachment-based couples therpay helps you to understand how past wounds shape your current relationship dynamics, to identify the root of conflict beyond surface issues, and to support you and your partner to rebuild safety, secure attachement and emotional connection.

We aim to support couples to heal together - creating a secure base where both people can feel seen, heard, and valued. When couples feel emotionally safe, everything changes.

We often find people feel happier and feel less pressure during the summer months - more freedom, less stress. What better time to start therapy? Taking care of your mental health now is an act of self-love that you'll reap benefits from for the rest of the year!

Our child, youth and family team reguarly weave play and art therapy techniques into the work they do with children, youth and families. Using these techniques is about more than just creativity, it's about connection. Play is the language of children, one of the primary ways they communicate. And art is a means of expressing one's inner experience, often in a way that is less direct and, therefore, less threatening for clients. We love meeting our clients where they are at and tailoring our therapy approach to meet their individual needs!

Why brain-based therapy works when talk therapy falls short.

Trauma doesn't live in the talk therapy part of the brain, it's stored in the body. Brain-based, somatic approaches like EMDR target the deeper parts of the nervous system where trauma is actually stored. They help the brain and body reconnect, regulate, and heal so you're not just talking about your experiences, you're transforming them.

Let’s explore why this approach is so effective.

We welcome clients of all ages and stages, offering creative approaches tailored to their needs. Play and art therapy provide unique avenues for self-expression and healing.

Recently, we started doing sandtray work! In trauma-informed play therapy, sandtray work offers a powerful, non-verbal way for children (and adults) to externalize their inner world. By choosing miniature figures and placing them in sand, clients create symbolic scenes that reflect their emotions, experiences, and memories, often ones that are too overwhelming or complex to put into words.

For those who’ve experienced trauma, this gentle approach can bypass the brain’s defenses, allowing for healing stories to emerge in a safe, contained way.

Sandtray therapy helps:
Regulate the nervous system
Make sense of the past
Promote emotional expression
Build empowerment and mastery

What’s buried in the sand doesn’t stay buried, it is seen, understood, and transformed.

Last month, we had the opportunity to present a workshop on creative, low-cost and sustainable ways to create a neuroinclusive classroom.

Our participants engaged in a lively and informative discussion around how neurodiversity shows up in the mainstream classroom, how to harness the unique and diverse strengths of neurodiverse students, and how teachers can add low-cost and low-time-commitment strategies into their classroom routine that can help address the challenges neurodiverse students (and all students!) face.

Gottman-trained couples therapists at INDIGROW support partners in strengthening and maintaining secure attachment with one another. A key part of this work includes encouraging each individual to continue their personal growth, build supportive connections outside the relationship, and ensure their needs are met in sustainable ways, not solely by each other, but through a broader, chosen community of care.
