LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Freedom Counselling is a Métis owned agency operating on traditional and sacred lands of Treaty 6 Territory. We acknowledge the land has been cared for by our ancestors for centuries before us. We recognize the lands we live and work on are part of a intricate and shared ecosystem, that we must continue to care for. We honor the Creator by listening with an open heart. We honor Turtle Island by appreciating the abundant space and freedom we are given. And we honor Mother Earth by respecting all Her creations, as we are all connected and everything has a spirit.

Freedom Counselling is rooted in humanistic psychology, with a focused approach on holistic and decolonizing practices. We work with clients to curate a healing plan that best fits each unique person. A key technique is to access a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support our clients in a way they feel will be effective for them. We prioritize relationships and spaces where people feel safe, respected, appreciated and valued.
Currently offering mental health services to:

Group therapy ~ retreats to be developed!
At Freedom Counselling we believe all things are connected. We consider and incorporate all aspects of the client. Some areas of focus include the emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, cultural, and social. Together, we may evaluate a clients values, worldview and belief system, as these often carry vast influence over a persons way of living.
Healing is not singular; it is complex, multidimensional and requires endurance.
But like the lotus flower, the results are extraordinary.

Hello and welcome to Freedom Counselling! I am the Founder/Owner of this beautiful online counselling community and I am so grateful you have decided to consider mental health services or specialized consultations with me. I am humbled and honoured to walk this journey with you.
I completed my master of counselling psychology (MC) at Athabasca University in August 2023. I am licensed as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). The CCC designation allows me to practice therapy independently, while being supported and governed by a professional regulatory body. I work with integrity and am held accountable to the professional standards and ethics as set out in the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association Code of Ethics. As a professional with a lengthily history of work in the justice field, it was important for me to ensure my counselling endeavor was pursued with utmost professionalism, transparency and in a good way.
As a THERAPIST, my approach is always person-centered, truly focused on meeting my clients where they are at and walking with them to establish a healing plan they believe in. I trust my clients are the owners of their stories; their past, present, and future. I strive to be a safe place for clients to share what they need, how they need, and when they need. I aim to bring light to new perspectives, safely guide the unveiling of trauma and the vast impacts it's imposed on ones life. This process is difficult... and it takes a lot of tough work, but my clients come out stronger and on a path they choose versus a path they felt forced to be on. I draw on modalities like ACT, DBT, CBT, strengths based therapy, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness, and I am certified in EMDR.
As a METIS WOMAN, I believe in connection to culture; the land, the sky, and all living things on Mother Earth as each carry incredible and profound teachings. I believe in the power of Indigenous medicine. I also believe laughter is medicine, and trust me, we will laugh! I love that we can leverage cultural beliefs, values, and story to benefit our healing journeys. I look forward to learning about your culture and incorporating it in ways you find healing.
Hope to connect soon,
Linea
