čɛčɛhaθɛč, ?imash ?imash. My name is Simone Compton, my ancestry comes from the K’ómoks and Shíshálh Nations and European descent. Welcome to our, the K’ómoks Nation, traditional unceded territory; I am grateful we can all enjoy the abundance and beauty of these lands in a good way.

I practice from a Two-Eyed Seeing Framework; this approach is to use both scientific western modalities while incorporating my own Indigenous ways of knowing and being. This also includes pieces of Aboriginal Oriented-Focused, Satir Model, Mindfulness, Self-compassion, Somatic experiencing, and CBT. This allows me to provide a culturally safe space.
