Indigenous counselling and support help individuals achieve a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

JDionne & Associates understand that seeing a therapist can be overwhelming, but taking that vital step can start the healing and recovery Journey. At JDionne & Associates, our approach to "recovery as the foundation of our success" is to help you achieve better self-understanding, self-awareness, insight, and clarity. Our counsellors can support you through challenges like anger, depression, goal-setting, relationships, and more. We intend to ensure healing is made possible by providing the person served with skills rooted in Indigenous and therapeutic research delivered respectfully and collaboratively. Our goal is to inspire you to find foundational solutions so you can achieve a more balanced, fulfilling life you truly desire, free from substance use. If you are ready to begin that journey, contact us or book an appointment with a registered clinical Indigenous counsellor. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Values

  • The person served is the most important in the therapeutic relationship

  • We will provide a safe, private setting for recovery.

  • We will make every effort to relate to the individual intentionally for a predictable therapeutic outcome.

  • We will provide a means for evaluation of progress so that the person served is not misled or taken advantage of.

  • We are committed to continuing professional education and expanding our repertoire of skills and understanding of our therapeutic service.

Lateral Violence occurs within marginalized groups where members strike out at each other as a result of being oppressed. The oppressed become the oppressors of themselves and each other. Common behaviours that prevent positive change are gossiping, bullying, finger-pointing, backstabbing and shunning.
