Bonnie Huhn

Clinical Counsellor

Bonnie Huhn is proud to serve as Clinical Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor with the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. She is a Registered Psychotherapist and a Registered Master Professional Clinical Counsellor, and has completed a variety of professional training in psychological and therapeutic modalities. Bonnie practices from a person-centred, solution-focused approach, supporting individuals in building resilience, connection, and meaningful change.

With more than twenty years of experience working in mental health and acquired brain injury, Bonnie has dedicated much of her career to supporting individuals and families through complex life challenges. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of working alongside and learning from Indigenous teachers, Elders, and colleagues. These experiences have shaped her deep respect for Indigenous knowledge and ways of healing, and have strengthened her commitment to supporting reconciliation in meaningful and practical ways. Bonnie strives to reduce barriers to care and create spaces where individuals feel safe, heard, and respected, while honouring culture, community, and lived experience in the healing process.

She is the founder of a unique equine psychotherapy program that blends equine-assisted learning with equine psychotherapy practices, offering an innovative and holistic approach to therapy. She believes that the connection between humans, animals, and nature can be a powerful pathway to healing, trust-building, and personal growth. Outside of her professional work, Bonnie has a lifelong passion for horses and is actively involved in barrel racing and the rodeo community.

Bonnie is honoured to be part of the team at the Indian Residential School Survivors Society and looks forward to continuing her journey of supporting individuals, families, and communities with compassion, humility, and respect.
