Indigrow Psychology

Indigrow Psychology 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. 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. We offer counselling for individuals, couples, children, youth, and families, and have extensive experience supporting clients of all developmental levels, including those with developmental disabilities. We tailor each session to meet the individual needs of our clients.

With the prevalence of social media and living in a culture of comparison, it's easy to get wrapped up in wanting to "do parenting right". We recognize that each parent has unique gifts to offer their child by simply being their authentic selves with their child. We love supporting parents, helping them learn more about secure attachment and how to meet their child's emotional needs while still embodying who they are at their core. If you're interested in learning more about our individually tialored parenting support services, contact us for a free consult!

Have you ever wondered why your reactions feel so big in response to seemingly small triggers? When the volume of your reaction is louder than the volume of your trigger, it can be an sign that old wounds are being activated, not just the present trigger. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we get from clients when they heal and process their past trauma is that their reactions in relationships shift, allowing them to communicate their needs and to be fully authentic and engaged in healthy relationships

As we step into the holiday season, give your mental health the same care and attention you give to others. Slow down. Breathe. Rest when you need to. You don’t have to do it all, and you don’t have to feel festive every moment. Presence and compassion for yourself and others are powerful forms of care.

1. You are responsible for the emotional temperature in the room, always.
Being a parent is tough, especially when your child is the middle of big feelings. It can be so triggering when our kids are escalated, but our role as parents is to be the calm in our child's storm, not to join the storm. Kids mirror your level of regulation,

2. You can’t expect emotional skills you never taught.
Kids aren’t born knowing how to share, self-regulate, sit still, or talk about feelings. If you want the skill, you have to model it, teach it, and practice it with them.

3. Your child hears how you talk about them - it becomes their inner voice.
The way we speak to kids and speak about them to others becomes a huge part of how they see themselves later. Choose to see your kid's challenging behavior for what it is - communication and speak to and about them in a way that highlights the good in them, not the challenges.

4. Screens aren’t the enemy. Dysregulation is.
The meltdown when you turn off the tablet isn’t about the tablet. It’s about transitions, impulse control, and emotional tolerance. Blaming the device skips the real problem and the real solution.

5. A child’s behaviour is communication, not defiance.
All behavior is a form of communication. When your child acts up, they are trying to ask for something or tell you something through that behavior. Choose to find the most generous interpretation of their behavior and seek to understand the need behind it.

Even in moments of challenge, there’s a space, however small, between what happens to us and how we respond.

In that space lies our freedom to choose: to respond with intention, to act in alignment with our values, and to create meaning even when circumstances feel beyond our control.

Often times, kids feel emotions in their body before they're able to label the emotion or recognize the thoughts that come with it.

Helping kids and their parents to recognize, breath with, and move through emotions together can be an incredibly powerful tool for emotional regulation. This helps emotions feel less scary.

Through this practice kids learn: “I can feel this, I'm not alone, and I can get through it."

The ways we respond to big emotions - shutting down, avoiding conflict, or people-pleasing - often started as survival strategies that helped us stay connected to those we depended on.

In couples therapy, we explore how those old patterns show up today and which ones are ready to shift so you can build deeper, safer connection in the present.

How we connect in relationships often traces back to early bonding—but it can grow and change throughout life. John Bowlby's theory of attachment outlines 4 main attachment styles that we see all the time in our work. Here's a quick and easy summary to help distinguish your attachment style and how it might show up in relationship to others.

Whether we're working with individuals or in couples, we often help clients identify and better understand their attachment styles. Once we understand the primary way we attach to others and the reasons why we attach in that way, we can work together to move toward secure attachment with self and others.

When helping new clients understand Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), we often use the metaphor of your brain as a computer...when something overwhelming happens, your brain can’t always process it the way it normally would. Instead of storing it neatly, the memory gets “stuck”, like a frozen file that you can’t open or move.

That’s what trauma can feel like; the file is there, but it keeps glitching, popping up at the wrong times, or slowing everything down.

EMDR works like software that helps your brain unfreeze the stuck file. You get to reprocess the memory and file it away properly - it’s still part of your story, but it stops taking over your system.

The memory doesn’t disappear. It just stops running in the background and taking over your life.

Every member of our team is fully EMDR trained and are able to individually tailor their approach to meet the needs of clients of all ages and developmental levels.
