Meet Kristielyn Jones RTC-C
Professional Indigenous Counsellor
Welcome.
My name is Kristielyn Jones and I am a Two-Spirited Dene woman from the NWT. Currently residing in Yellowknife, NT. I have been blessed to have been raised with the Lakota Sioux traditions, learning and walking the Red Road has supported me immensely throughout my life. As such, I live my life as ceremony, as it was taught in the Inipi (sweat-lodge). To follow the path set out by Creator, living by his principles and treating ourselves and his people with kindness.
Walking in selfless service for the People of this Earth.
In my counselling practice, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor Candidate (RTC-C) & member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT), I offer a series of therapeutic modalities such as, cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, dialectal behavioural therapy, somatic therapy, and simply talk therapy.
As such, I also offer indigenous healing practices through ceremonial practices, such as smudging, praying, making tobacco offerings, and more. Upon request from the client, I can provide these services throughout your therapeutic journey with me as your counsellor.

Why Counselling?
It can help with
Coping Skills
Developing one's own coping skills to manage tough life challenges through inner-exploration & psycho-education
Managing Stress
Learning the intricate process of understanding your stress, cues & finding practical solutions to support yourself long-term
Sacred Space
Sometimes in the hustle & bustle of life, all we need is that safe space that is sacred to us, to find comfort, empathy, understanding, & healing.
Challenging Limiting Beliefs
We all have them, and finding out the "secret" message they hold in our subconscious, we can begin to challenge these limiting beliefs for you to create lasting change in your life.
You are not your thoughts, but they do have a story within their existence. Through Dialectal Behavioural Therapy (DBT) or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we can uncover, challenge and reform beliefs that best support you and your life.
Curiousity
Getting curious about your own mental health, behavioural &. thought patterns can be a fun and gentle process to understanding who you are, what you represent, and how to support yourself in your growth & healing journey
