Indigenous Mental Health
Virtual Indigenous Mental Health Services in Ontario
At Triello Counselling Services, we recognize that mental health and healing are deeply connected to family, community, culture, and lived experiences. For many Indigenous individuals and families, the impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma continue to shape emotional well-being, relationships, and identity.
Our therapists provide Indigenous-informed psychotherapy that acknowledges these experiences while creating a respectful and supportive space for healing. We approach therapy through a trauma-informed and strength-based lens, recognizing the resilience that exists within individuals, families, and communities.
Our team works with Indigenous individuals, couples, and families who may be navigating challenges such as trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationships, emotional regulation, and identity. Through compassionate support and culturally respectful care, we aim to help clients reconnect with their strengths, build resilience, and move toward balance and wellness.
Members of our team have expertise in working with First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people. We are proud to have registered practitioners with the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program (NIHB) and the Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program (IRSRHSP) through Indigenous Services Canada. We bill directly for your convenience.
Our team of therapist are here to create and hold space for you to explore, reflect upon and heal from the challenging moments and events you have experienced. We are focused on supporting and empowering you as you explore your past and current stories of growth. We are here to walk along side you, on your individual path to healing. Please reach out to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation today.

Our Story
Triello Counselling Services was developed in 2020 with the vision of creating an accessible space where individuals can access mental health services to achieve healing, self-discovery, growth and wellness.
Cassandra Tenneriello the founder of Triello Counselling Services had the opportunity to provide counselling services throughout the remote, isolated Indigenous communities of the James and Hudson Bay region. This experience has helped Cassandra better understand the importance of the interconnection of our physical, emotional, spiritual and mental wellbeing. In addition, Cassandra's time in Northern Ontario allowed her to gain insight into the barriers people living in remote communities face when trying to access mental health services. This is why Triello Counselling Services provides exclusively virtual services to ensure accessibility to all Ontario residents.
