Indigenous Counselling
Indigenous people have been subjected to years of colonialism, trauma, and systemic racism. At Insight Psychological, our therapists deliver treatment with a trauma informed and culturally responsive approach as mental health needs vary from population to population. Insight Psychological offers counselling for Indigenous peoples with therapists that have specialized experience with Indigenous peoples or some are Indigenous themselves with lived experience.
