About NATIVation Counseling

Healing Isn’t Just for the Mind—It’s for the Whole Self.

At NATIVation Counseling, healing begins at the source—not just with symptoms, but with the unseen wounds passed through mind, body, spirit, and generations. Founded by Indigenous healer Brandi Sweet (Turtle Mountain Chippewa), our practice blends modern trauma therapy with sacred ceremony to offer something rare and deeply needed: true, full-system healing.

Our signature 7 Ceremonies™ framework integrates EMDR, somatic work, breathwork, and Indigenous traditions to help clients release trauma and reclaim wholeness. Whether you’re navigating grief, life transitions, PTSD, anxiety, or a loss of identity, we meet you where you are, with reverence, not judgment.

We serve Native and non-Native individuals, couples, families, professionals, and communities across Utah, Missouri, and Arizona—in-person and online. Our care is inclusive, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that healing is sacred, and everyone deserves access to it.

What Makes us Different

We Don’t Just Manage Symptoms. We Heal at the Root.

What sets us apart is simple: we treat the soul, not just the symptoms. Our signature 7 Ceremonies™ framework is a one-of-a-kind healing path grounded in Indigenous wisdom and modern trauma therapy.

Testimonials

Positive Reviews From Our Patients

NATIVation Counseling helped me reconnect with parts of myself I thought were lost forever. The healing I experienced here was beyond anything I ever expected.

Sarah T.

Brandi’s approach combines heart, wisdom, and Indigenous healing that resonated deeply with me. I’ve never felt more understood.

John D.

I’ve tried so many different therapies, but the combination of Indigenous wisdom and modern techniques at NATIVation Counseling was life-changing. I finally feel at peace with my past.

Emilee K.

Brandi seems to get me. She listened and actually seemed to care about my life. I would say she has experienced life herself. I highly recommend her.

Vicky S.

I have been seeing Brandi Sweet for therapy the last several years and I can attest that she is the best therapist I've ever worked with. I have a background in several kinds of trauma and it's not the easiest for me to find a therapist that can provide me what I need. Brandi, however, guides me through sessions combining different modalities and healing techniques, allowing me to dive deep and get "unstuck." The last few years have seen my greatest growth to date and I truly think I would not be as far along without Brandi. Her patience, kindness, empathy, and strong leadership to me have really made an incredible difference. I recommend any and all to visit NATIVation Counseling.
