Rachel Brennan
Registered Psychotherapist, B.Sc., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a certified trauma treatment professional with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support for survivors of domestic violence and abuse. I understand the profound impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being, especially in the context of abusive relationships. I offer a safe and confidential space for survivors to explore their experiences, process their trauma, and work towards healing and empowerment.
Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, I help clients address the complex effects of trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. EMDR is particularly effective in processing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms, paving the way for healing and recovery. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, validation, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.
Survivors of domestic violence and abuse deserve compassionate support as they rebuild their lives and regain control. I am here to provide the guidance, tools, and resources needed to navigate this journey towards healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Together, we can work towards breaking free from the cycle of abuse and creating a life of safety, dignity, and empowerment.

Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you have intrusive memories or nightmares about past incidents where you experienced physical abuse? Do you feel 'stuck' in these past experiences and notice that these experiences have impacted your ability to feel safe, trust others, love yourself, or feel connected to others? If you have been told by a health care professional that you may have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or trauma-related symptoms, then you have come to the right place. I offer extensive work with PTSD and trauma using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is designed to help you process your trauma by helping you to feel 'unstuck'. We will discuss you trauma(s) and the thoughts and feelings you may be having about it. You will participate in a journey of analyzing these thoughts closely and allowing your therapist to help you understand your trauma in a different way.

At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy for individuals who have experienced domestic abuse or violence. Domestic abuse can have devastating effects on physical and mental well-being, but healing and empowerment are possible with the right support.
In our therapy sessions, I create a safe and confidential space where you can explore your experiences, express your emotions, and work towards healing from the trauma of domestic abuse. Together, we'll address the emotional and psychological impact of abuse, develop coping strategies, and rebuild your sense of self-worth and autonomy.
My approach to therapy for domestic abuse survivors is trauma-informed and client-centered, meaning that I prioritize your safety, autonomy, and empowerment throughout the healing process. I draw from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you process your experiences and move towards healing.
Recovering from domestic abuse is a courageous journey, but you don't have to walk it alone. I'm here to provide you with the support, validation, and tools you need to heal from the trauma of abuse and rebuild a life free from violence.
