  • Mental health/Mental illness
  • LGBQT2+ sexuality, gender identity
  • Indigenous trauma, cultural awareness and identity

 

We do this by offering the following services:

  1. Individual Therapy: Utilizing Indigenous expressive arts in therapy for children, youth, and adults who experience inner conflict, mental illness, trauma, attachment, addictions, and/or in need of personal growth and development. Sessions are 1 hour long with a clinical social worker.

  2. Wholistic Wellness Therapy [Action Therapy]:  provides a comprehensive therapeutic approach, which is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual child and youth. An integral part of Wholistic Wellness Therapy is the establishment of positive and supportive relationships and the use of therapeutic activities, land-based education, culture, play, and Indigenous expressive arts. In addition, each Wholistic Wellness Therapist will work with youth for a minimum of 10 hours per month, where they encompass a variety of skills (personal and professional), ranging from art, athletics, culture, play, social coaching, sexual exploitation support, group activities, crisis intervention, and connecting with Indigenous knowledge and spirituality.                                                                                                                           

    At present, Nelson Therapy has six holistic wellness workers with a variety of skills and backgrounds in the area of social services. At Nelson Therapy and Consulting, we respect the fact that knowledge may be acquired through formal education or through lived experience. Therefore, all Wholesiic Wellness Therapists have varying levels of experience and education in addition to traditional cultural knowledge.
