Cairis Counselling Saskatoon
Trauma Informed therapy

Welcome here

At Cairis Counselling all our therapists are able to help people with common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, managing anger or low self-esteem but we each specialize in different areas. Being trauma-informed we recognize that the wounds of the past can be very compelling and make it difficult for to understand what is going in ourselves and get a handle on our own reactions.  We aim to help people move from coping to healing.
