Trauma and PTSD
Madison Chen
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Trauma is not an event, or a series of events. It is the painful imprint an experience, regardless of its severity, has left on your psyche and body. The devastating impact trauma have on your nervous system means that traumatic memories often feel fragmented, bizarre, unprocessed, and terrifyingly current. In session, we try to "piece it all together," while simultaneously calming and comforting our bodies and mind. Slowly, gently, and surely, our bodies can heal from trauma, making you whole as you are meant to be.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I worked with a specialist organisation for five years with sexual trauma and abuse. During this time I also engaged in multiple trainings around how to support people through processing these sensitive issues without causing overwhelm and retraumatization , managing issues that arise from PTSD and getting to a place of more acceptance and ease.
