Trauma Therapy

These services are free of charge, and are primarily available to Indigenous (Métis, First Nations, Inuit) youth and adults, and their relations (including non-Aboriginal peoples), who have experienced trauma (or wounding) of some form and who are looking to take part in a multigenerational healing process.

What to Expect

Sessions’ average 1.5 hours in length, are long-term, and tend to delve into all realms of depth healing, using an eclectic and holistic spiritual perspective. Referrals are welcomed from government agencies, community organizations, Indigenous associations and organizations, health services, school systems, and self-referrals. Program is funded, with much gratitude, by Interior Health.      

Hello, my name is Liza Steele and I am currently the youth and adult trauma therapist at MCSBC. I am a Métis mother, a widow, a survivor of cancer, and a connected healer. I have been working with MCSBC as a trauma therapist for approximately 13 years. I love and honor the work I am part of at MCSBC, and the close connections that have bonded us to our community members. I have a Master of Arts. I consider myself to be a holistic, eclectic helper, and a spiritual guide through the process of healing, as well as a teacher of healing techniques for life. I am accredited with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and I hold my ethics and values as an extremely important part of honoring safety within the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is oftentimes difficult work, but it is also fun and extremely relieving and rewarding. In therapy, we focus on the interconnected whole, as well as health and wellness within all systems of relationship to self, other, and the Creator. It is my honor and privilege to serve our community. All my relations.
