About Us

INDIGROW Psychology values brain based approaches to healing trauma in order to create meaningful, sustainable, and lasting change. We specialize in trauma-informed counselling, where psychological symptoms are viewed and treated as a natural response to unhealed trauma. 

At INDIGROW, traumatic experiences are defined as any life event or circumstance that exceeded a person’s ability to cope with what happened. Trauma can be defined as the resulting emotional, physical, or behavioural manifestation of the traumatic experience. These experiences change neural connections in our brain and this impacts our relationship with ourselves, others, and how we create meaning in the world.

We are able to heal past traumatic events and alleviate psychological symptoms, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and dysfunctional behavioural patterns through a variety of attachment based approaches and techniques including EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Art and Play Therapy.

Our Story

INDIGROW was born in 2021 out of the desire to provide our community with quality, trauma-informed care. 

Looking to offer wrap-around support to clients of all ages, Mckenzie Kool, Director of Trauma Informed Care, and Katie Pelletier, Director of Child, Youth and Family Support, set out to create a safe and supportive space to welcome INDIGROW’S clients, peers, and community members. 

Along with our team of registered provisional psychologists, INDIGROW is building a community of trauma-informed practitioners, working collectively to reduce the impact of lifelong trauma.
