Indigrow Psychology

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.

How we connect in relationships often traces back to early bonding—but it can grow and change throughout life. John Bowlby's theory of attachment outlines 4 main attachment styles that we see all the time in our work. Here's a quick and easy summary to help distinguish your attachment style and how it might show up in relationship to others.

Whether we're working with individuals or in couples, we often help clients identify and better understand their attachment styles. Once we understand the primary way we attach to others and the reasons why we attach in that way, we can work together to move toward secure attachment with self and others.

When helping new clients understand Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), we often use the metaphor of your brain as a computer...when something overwhelming happens, your brain can’t always process it the way it normally would. Instead of storing it neatly, the memory gets “stuck”, like a frozen file that you can’t open or move.

That’s what trauma can feel like; the file is there, but it keeps glitching, popping up at the wrong times, or slowing everything down.

EMDR works like software that helps your brain unfreeze the stuck file. You get to reprocess the memory and file it away properly - it’s still part of your story, but it stops taking over your system.

The memory doesn’t disappear. It just stops running in the background and taking over your life.

Every member of our team is fully EMDR trained and are able to individually tailor their approach to meet the needs of clients of all ages and developmental levels.

Your trauma shaped you, but it doesn’t define you. Healing is about weaving it into your story in a way that honors your strength and allows you to live fully today.

Research shows that self-compassion has wide-ranging benefits for both mental and physical health. At its core, it helps you relate to yourself the way you would to a close friend: with kindness, patience, and understanding, which makes navigating life’s challenges much easier.

Here are some phrases to try out throughout the month of November:

“It’s okay to feel this way. My feelings make sense.”
“I don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.”
“I’m doing the best I can with what I have.”
“Rest is not laziness, it’s essential.”
“I would never speak this harshly to a friend—why to myself?”

When starting EMDR, many clients express concern around containment, wondering if too much trauma content will come up at once or if they’ll lose control in a session.

A gentle reminder: you are always in control during EMDR therapy. You can pause at any time, and your voice guides the process. Our EMDR therapists are fully trained with expertise in containment, and work collaboratively with you to ensure the pace feels safe, supportive, and within your window of tolerance.

Curious to learn more about containment and pacing in EMDR sessions? Contact us for a free consult to learn more!

🎃 Charge your phone + share your location with someone you trust.
🎃 Trust your gut: if something feels off, step away.
🎃 Plan your ride home before you go.
🎃 Create a code word with your friends so they know when to step in and support you.

For Parents:
👻 Set expectations early: curfew, rides, and boundaries.
👻 Keep communication open: agree on quick check-ins.
👻 Be a safe call: let them know they can reach out anytime, no judgment.

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and spooky Halloween!

Healing has a ripple effect. ✨ Just as trauma can be passed down through generations, healing also moves outward, touching families, strengthening communities, and shaping the future. When one person heals, it doesn’t stop with them. The impact is felt in the people they love, the spaces they’re part of, and the generations that follow.

Your healing is never just yours - it sends out waves of hope, safety, and change. The ripple starts with you.

We believe in the power of co-regulation: the understanding that children borrow the calm of a safe adult before they can find their own. When parents recognize that all behavior is a form of communication, they can begin to see the need beneath the behavior. From that place, they’re able to respond in a grounded and compassionate way, offering co-regulation that fosters secure attachment and deeper connection with their child.

Reconnecting with your body means learning the language of your nervous system. When you can tune into what your body is telling you, you create space to move forward in a more balanced and authentic way.
