Healing Together: Culturally Sensitive Therapy for Indigenous Peoples

Your mental health and wellness matter. At The Story Isn’t Over, we’re here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing—honoring your experiences, your community, and your traditions. We understand that the mental health challenges faced by Indigenous peoples are deeply rooted in history, and we’re committed to offering care that respects and celebrates your identity.

Healing isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about reclaiming your strength, reconnecting with your culture, and building a brighter future for yourself and your loved ones. Let us show you how we can help.

Understanding the Past to Heal the Present

The the pain of colonial trauma has deeply affected the indigenous community, leaving deep emotional, psychological and spiritual scars. The intergenerational impacts of residential schools, the 60s Scoop, and systemic racism aren’t just history—they’re part of the challenges you face today.

We see you, and we recognize the barriers you face. More importantly, we’re here to help you navigate and overcome them.

What Makes Us Different

Healing from colonial trauma takes more than traditional therapy. It requires care that values your story, your culture, and your resilience. That’s why we offer a unique approach designed with Indigenous peoples in mind.

1. Care That Honors Your Culture

Our therapists are trained to understand and respect your experiences. We create a safe space where your voice is heard, your identity is valued, and your healing journey is guided by what matters most to you.

2. Combining Therapy with Traditional Practices

You deserve care that connects with your culture. Alongside modern therapies, like trauma-focused counseling, we integrate traditional healing practices such as:

3. Accessible and Flexible Support

We know access to care can be a challenge. Whether you’re in a remote community or an urban area, we’ve made it easier for you to connect with us:

We align our work with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, ensuring that your self-determination and cultural values are at the center of everything we do. We’re here to support you, but we’re also working to make mental health care better for everyone in your community.

What’s the Difference Between Talking to a Friend and Talking to a Therapist?

When life gets difficult many of us instinctively turn to a trusted friend or family member for support. It's comforting to have someone who knows us, cares about us, and can lend an ear when we need to vent. And often that is enough, we don’t need to talk to anyone else. But sometimes, we need more support than our friend is able to provide, and we need someone with additional training and experience to help us cope with the difficulties we are facing. That’s when you may want to talk to a therapist.

How long do I need to stay in therapy?

If you’ve ever considered starting therapy or are currently in treatment, you might wonder: How long do I need to stay in therapy? This question is common and valid, as people often have personal, financial, and logistical factors to consider. There isn’t a simple answer; everyone is different, and while some people may stay in therapy long term, others may only need a few sessions; therapy is as unique as the individuals who seek it. 

How can I get the most out of therapy?

Therapy is a deeply personal journey and a powerful tool for self-improvement, healing, and growth. With countless therapeutic approaches available—ranging from the structured techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the deep exploration of psychodynamic therapy—sessions can vary significantly.
