Rooted in the Canadian Prairies and founded by Ivana Hrushowy, Pear on the Prairie Counselling draws inspiration from Ivana’s last name, based on the Ukrainian word hrusha (груша), meaning “pear.”

Pear on the Prairie is dedicated to supporting adults and teens across western Canada, offering accessible, compassionate, and culturally informed counselling services to individuals in urban and rural communities.
