About the Plains
Indigenous-led wellness practice. Our medicines, our protocols, our community held alongside clinical training that knows when to step back and let traditional knowledge lead.
A prairie mental-health cooperative pairing Indigenous and settler clinicians culturally grounded care across Saskatchewan, in person and online.
Why we practice this way
A cooperative, not a clinic hierarchy because healing in our communities was never a service one person delivered to another. The circle came first; the clinical credentials joined it.

How intake works
Most clients are matched with a clinician within a week. Here's how the process works.
01
Submit an intake form
Takes about 8 minutes. We ask what's bringing you in, the support you're looking for, any preferences around clinician background or modality, and your availability. You're not committed to anything by submitting it.
Average completion: 8 min · Online or by phone
02
We review and reach out within 48 hours
Our intake coordinator reads every form personally and responds within two business days with a clinician match or two based on cultural fit, the work you've described, and availability.
Response window: 1-2 business days
03
Free 20-minute consultation call
Before your first paid session, you'll have a no-cost video call with the clinician you've been matched with. If it's not the right fit, we'll match you again. No charge, no awkwardness.

04
First session, on your schedule
Most first sessions are booked within 7-10 days of intake. Subsequent sessions are at whatever cadence works for you and your clinician.
Typically within 1-2 weeks of intake
