Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Hi, my name is Kimberly. As I worked to heal my own trauma, I worked with several well meaning counsellors and therapists, who really didn't know or understand how to work with complex or developmental trauma. At worst, I was further hurt by their efforts to help me, at best it fuelled me to go back to school to get the education needed to fit this gap, for those who may need help in these areas as well. The impact of developmental & complex trauma on a person is enormous and impacts the entire person and all aspects of their lives. There isn't an area of your life that cannot be improved by healing your trauma. I work efficiently and thoroughly, as you have been through enough. Healing shouldn't be harder or longer than what you have already been through.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
I want to hear your story. The stories we tell about ourselves shape the way we live our lives and impact every choice we make. But a lot of the stories we tell ourselves aren't true; they're based on painful experiences we've had. Therapy can help you change the way you see yourself, your life, your relationships, and your future. I can help support you as you heal, working through the painful things that have happened and the negative ways they've impacted you. Just focusing on managing symptoms can be helpful, but healing the root cause of pain is what I help clients do. Get in touch with me today to see how I can help you.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm very honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. Nothing could be more important to me or to them.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.
