Everyone deserves access to mental health support. At Indigenous Psychological Services, we believe counselling should be accessible and that financial barriers should not prevent people from receiving care when they need it.

To help reduce barriers, we offer low-cost counselling options with session fees ranging from $75 to $150, depending on the provider and service. Our team includes Indigenous counsellors and allied clinicians who provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care through secure telehealth services across Alberta.

Whether you are seeking support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or trauma, we are committed to making counselling more accessible for individuals, families, and communities.

To learn more about our low-cost counselling options or to book an appointment, call 587-594-9855.

Indigenous Psychological Services is proud to support students, families, school staff, and communities across Alberta through culturally grounded and relationship based mental health services.

Over the past year, our programs have continued to grow, reaching more schools and communities throughout the province. Our counsellors provide supportive counselling, youth groups, interactive cultural activities, beading circles, land-based healing experiences, cultural arts and expressive programming, and movement-based activities within classrooms.

Our approach extends beyond traditional clinical spaces. We believe healing, wellness, and connection are strengthened through community, culture, language, and relationships. By creating opportunities for students to connect with the land, Elders, cultural teachings, and one another, we help foster belonging, resilience, and well-being.

Our focus in schools is building community over sitting in a clinical space. It is about relationship building at all levels.

We are honoured to walk alongside students, families, educators, and communities as we continue to support Indigenous youth through culturally responsive and community-centered care across Alberta.

Meet Kathleen Golosky, a proud Métis clinician from Treaty 8 Territory and MNA Region 1.

With more than 15 years of experience working in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, Kathleen's practice is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: "It shouldn’t hurt to be a child." This philosophy guides her work with children, adolescents, and adults who may still be carrying the impacts of early life experiences that continue to affect their well-being, relationships, and sense of self.

Kathleen takes a holistic approach to healing by blending Western psychological therapies with Indigenous knowledge, teachings, and practices. Her work recognizes the importance of addressing not only thoughts and emotions, but also the body, relationships, culture, and community in the healing process.

Her therapeutic approaches include attachment-based therapy, person-centred therapy, play therapy, the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), addiction treatment, body-based trauma therapies, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Theraplay, and Sandtray Therapy. She also integrates cultural teachings and learning gained through Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, Elders, and ceremony.

Kathleen has completed extensive specialized training in child development, trauma, attachment, parenting, and play therapy, and continues to expand her expertise through advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ongoing Indigenous cultural learning.

Kathleen is passionate about helping individuals and families build healthier connections, strengthen resilience, and move toward healing in ways that honour both clinical knowledge and cultural wisdom.

We often talk about what was taken, but today we celebrate what was passed down. Our resilience, our songs, and our connection to the Earth are gifts from the Ancestors that live within us.

Intergenerational wellness is our birthright. When we choose to heal, we aren't just doing it for ourselves—we are honoring those who came before us and clearing the path for those who follow.

Healing is not just about what happens in the office—it's about our connection to the land beneath our feet. Today, we're sharing how we bridge the principles of Two-Eyed Seeing into our daily practice.

Whether it's a moment of gratitude for the air we breathe or a deep breath to regulate the nervous system, these connections remind us that we are never alone in our journey.

How do you connect with the land today? Share a photo or a thought below. ♥♥♥♥

The nervous system is wired for connection and safety. When we feel safe, supported, and connected, our bodies can shift out of survival mode and into a state where healing, growth, and restoration become possible.

For Indigenous peoples, connection extends far beyond relationships with other people. Connection is our relationship with
-ourselves,
-eachother
-our families,
-our communities,
-the land beneath our feet,
-the trees, the flowers, the air, the water, the fire, the mountains, the plants,
-the animals,
-the sun,
-the moon, and
-the Ancestors .

It is a living web of relationships that reminds us who we are and where we belong. AND we are never alone.

When we reconnect with these relationships, we nurture a sense of safety, belonging, and identity. The nervous system responds to this felt sense of connection. In that space, healing is not something we force. It is something we allow.

We are truly surrounded by connection. The more we remember and strengthen these relationships, the more we support our wellbeing in mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Intergenerational Trauma -a term that explains how pain is passed down -We need to acknowledge that we have INTERGENERATIONAL WELLNESS. Wellness and healing that is also inside us that is passed down.

Reducing the stigma around accessing mental health support is essential, especially for individuals and communities affected by genocide-related trauma.

The psychological impact of genocide can extend across generations, and seeking support is a sign of strength and healing, not weakness.

Creating safe, compassionate spaces for mental health care helps survivors and their families process trauma, build resilience, and support long-term recovery and well-being.

Collective Trauma requires Collective Healing. We heal in connection and we heal when we come together!

The Power of Speaking from Your language- speaking from your belly button

Have you ever noticed how your voice changes when you are calm, grounded, and connected to yourself? Speaking from the diaphragm—the deep muscle located beneath the lungs and extending toward the abdominal area—does more than strengthen your voice. It can also support nervous system regulation and overall well-being.

When we breathe deeply into the belly and engage the diaphragm while speaking, we stimulate the vagus nerve, one of the body's most important pathways for regulating stress and promoting a sense of safety. The vagus nerve is a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the body's "rest and restore" system.

Research suggests that vagal activation may: • Reduce stress and anxiety • Support emotional regulation • Slow heart rate and promote relaxation • Improve feelings of safety and connection • Enhance resilience during challenging situations

When we are stressed or overwhelmed, our breathing often becomes shallow and moves into the upper chest. This can contribute to feelings of tension, anxiety, and dysregulation. Diaphragmatic breathing and speaking encourage slower, deeper breaths that send signals to the brain that the body is safe, helping shift us toward a more regulated state.

For many people, practices such as singing, drumming, chanting, storytelling, prayer, public speaking, and intentional breathing can naturally engage the diaphragm and support vagal activation. These activities may help create a stronger connection between the mind, body, and emotions.

At IPS, we recognize that healing involves more than thoughts alone. The body plays a vital role in emotional wellness, and learning to work with the nervous system can be an important part of building resilience, regulation, and healing.

Sometimes one of the most powerful tools for healing begins with something as simple as taking a deeper breath and finding your voice.
SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE. LANGUAGE HAS A SPIRIT.
