Healing Pathways
Trauma-Centered Counselling
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. At Sitting Turtle Healing & Consultation, services are designed to meet people where they are and support healing in a way that feels meaningful, respectful, and sustainable.
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, diagnoses, or crises, the work focuses on understanding the root causes of distress and creating opportunities for lasting change. Healing is approached through the interconnected relationships between mind, body, emotion, spirit, family, community, and land.
Kin are encouraged to move at their own pace. Together, we identify strengths, uncover barriers, explore patterns, and develop practical strategies that support healing and wellness. Depending on individual needs, services may incorporate conversation, experiential learning, cultural teachings, ceremony, land-based activities, and therapeutic approaches that support deeper self-awareness and personal growth.
This model of care recognizes that healing happens in relationship. Relationship with self. Relationship with others. Relationship with culture. Relationship with spirit. Relationship with the land.
Services are available for individuals, families, couples, groups, communities, and organizations seeking support with healing, wellness, conflict resolution, recovery, and personal development.

Community Care Research
