Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy:
EMDR is a structured/manualized psychotherapy for people who have experienced trauma(s) in their life. It is different from talk therapy because the therapist uses specific detailed protocols and procedures such as the eight phases of treatment in EMDR. You do not need to know what this all means right now. Trust that there is a road map and plan to facilitate healing. There is less focus on therapist talk/interpretations. There is less focus on you speaking about trauma at depth. The progress gained is from your enhanced psychological processing. EMDR incorporates eye movements, tapping techniques, and other methods to unblock an imbalance in the brain’s information processing system. EMDR provides relief from symptoms and emotional distress as a result of trauma(s) (e.g., reducing intensity of PTSD symptoms and trauma related memories). The EMDR therapy process facilitates natural healing processes of the mind and removes blocks to healing.

Trauma and PTSD
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work, or getting out of bed, may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred.
In therapy, we go through various stages of trauma work that help clients regain safety and wellbeing. Through experiential exercises clients have the opportunity to re-tell their story in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I also offer multiple techniques that alleviate anxiety and help "put the brakes on" in case trauma work becomes too overwhelming.
Once clients have strategies to cope with their trauma symptoms, which may include sadness, anger, and/or dissociation, they often experience renewed hope for the future. Additionally, I help clients gain insight into their internal experiences through psychoeducation on the relationship between trauma responses and brain activity.

Elizabeth Koch
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RCC
Having our safety threatened or compromised is a overwhelming disruptive experience, with implications for our sense of self, and our capacity for trusting others. Often the effects are far-reaching and long-lasting, extending well into new relationships, while playing out in our heads repeatedly. If you've experienced trauma and have suspected PTSD, we can work together to help you make sense of the experience, restore your capacity for ease and re-establish faith in your right for safety.
