Reflecting on Our Growth at IPS

Over the past three years, IPS has grown in both size and reach. What began as a focused vision has expanded into a broader, community-rooted practice serving clients across greater geographic distances while deepening the quality of care we provide.

We have intentionally attracted and cultivated relational therapists to who center the therapeutic relationship and approach healing through an Indigenous trauma-informed and genocide-aware lens. Our work remains grounded in understanding the historical, intergenerational, and systemic impacts of trauma on individuals, families, and communities.

Since 2023, IPS has provided $113,400 worth of free counselling sessions, reinforcing our commitment to accessibility and community care.

We are proud to have fostered and mentored numerous emerging and established professionals, including psychologists, within an agency framework that integrates a genocide-informed clinical lens. Our providers are extensively trained in multiple modalities, including:

Somatic Attachment approaches
Somatic Experiencing
EMDR
Indigenous-focused and Indigenous-oriented therapies
Indigenous healing tools and practices
This integrative foundation allows us to support clients holistically—mind, body, relationship, and community.

Most recently, we were honored to host the IFOT training in partnership with our incredible community collaborators. Bringing this training to our region reflects both our growth and our ongoing commitment to advancing culturally grounded, trauma-responsive care.

IPS continues to expand—not only in numbers, but in depth, integrity, and responsibility to the communities we serve.

✨ Fun Fact About IPS:
Every Christmas holiday season, we provide food gift cards and bus tickets to community members. This is one small but meaningful way we work to reduce barriers and support access to care and essential needs.

Building community is at the heart of everything we do. This milestone is not only about our journey — it’s about coming together to recognize the importance of transforming mental health care for Indigenous peoples and creating spaces that are culturally grounded, safe, and inclusive.

Expanding Access to Clinical Supervision for Provisionals and Social Workers

At IPS, we are committed to strengthening the future of the mental health field by investing in emerging professionals.

We provide free clinical supervision to Registered Clinical Social Workers and Registered Provisional Psychologists. By removing the financial burden of supervision, we are taking one meaningful step toward reducing systemic barriers within the profession.

Our goal is to create more accessible pathways—particularly for Indigenous clinicians and those seeking to practice within relational, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded frameworks.

In addition to no-cost supervision, IPS offers free training and professional development opportunities to support skill-building, confidence, and clinical excellence.

Supporting clinicians is community care. By mentoring and resourcing the next generation of providers, we are contributing to a more equitable, diverse, and culturally responsive mental health workforce.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 5 YEARS....
The need for Indigenous counselling is undeniable. From the moment we opened, the demand made it clear that community members were seeking care that truly understands their lived realities. Indigenous people want Indigenous Counselling. Indigenous people want more Indigenous counsellors.

While Western therapies offer valuable tools, they often focus on thoughts, behaviors, and symptom management and that alone is not enough. For many Indigenous peoples, especially those impacted by genocide and intergenerational trauma, the harm reaches beyond the mind. It affects our relationships, how we parent, who we are, how we engage in culture, how are in community, and being , living in connection with our spirit.

Our approach is grounded in Two-Eyed Seeing by Elder Albert Marshall, bridging together the strengths of Western clinical practice and Indigenous ways of knowing.

We believe healing must address the whole person: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Restoring connection to culture, land, community, and spirit is essential.
Healing is not only about coping it is about bringing the spirit back, honoring your red line, listening and connecting to your ancestors, connecting to land and language and supporting wholeness (ALL OF YOU IS NEEDED).
We are community builders with .........honoring a sense of belonging, you are loved and you are needed in this world.
