Tanisi, Tawow, Hello!
Welcome to Indigenous Psychological Services (IPS)
At Indigenous Psychological Services (IPS), our purpose is to create a unique healing space where our community can access informed, compassionate, and high-quality care. We believe every community deserves healing, and we honour this through a two-eyed approach that respects both Indigenous and Western ways of knowing.
By walking beside our clients, we offer holistic healing that encompasses mind, body, spirit and emotion – providing space for story, self and growth. As an integrative healing centre, we address inter-generational trauma through diverse modalities, traditional practices, and relational care.
We hold space for both clients and providers to show up safely, in a way that nurtures connection, belonging and the possibility of transformation.
We are a healing centre dedicated to walking beside our clients and community on their journeys of growth and restoration. Through story, ceremony, and diverse healing practices, we create space for belonging, connection, and intergenerational healing.
