Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma may be something horrific or something that you tell yourself "it wasn't so bad, others have it worse." We often make light of the things that hurt or scared us or made us feel less than, however, your struggles matter just as much as anyone else's. When trauma is severe, we develop patters that you might call "PTSD"- patterns of fear, hopelessness, constantly being on edge, having to avoid so many things. Trauma is stored in our bodies and our bodies remember. But there is hope and help is available. Therapies like EMDR (which I am fully certified in) heal both the body and mind. Adding in other treatments like polyvagal based exercises or mindfulness can go even further. I have been through it myself and I know that transformation is possible.
