Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Trauma occurs on a continuum to include relational, developmental and catastrophic traumas. With a solid foundation in understanding how trauma can impact and fragment our sense of self, leave us feeling powerless, unable to manage emotions or believe we can reconnect to humanity, I will engage to hear your story, make sense of contradictory emotions, and strive to help regain stability, connection and agency in life.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
Trauma and PTSD is my primary specialization and I utilize EMDR Therapy, IFS, Deep Brain Reorienting, somatic psychotherapy and other neurobiologically oriented therapies to process the traumatic memories. The processing of memories that activate the cluster of symptoms that are defined as PTSD involves two parts: Firstly, desensitizing and reducing the high emotional charge attached to the memories. Secondly, as the memories drop in charge, the brain sends the memories from short-term muscle memory to long-term memory. It is called memory reconsolidation and it gives you the experience of finally moving on from those events. Email me for a free 30-minute phone consultation to discuss more.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma is probably the most overused concept in psychotherapy. To work with trauma, we have to differentiate between everyday normal dissatisfactions in life and profound experience of helplessness, loneliness, fear, and stress caused by a traumatic experience. PTSD is a creative, but often unhealthy, way to cope with trauma that should be acknowledged and experienced in a supportive environment for a healthy processing of the trauma that can lead to post-traumatic growth. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Experiences with trauma can be a debilitating mental health concern that impacts our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming.

Dr. Robert T. Muller
Psychologist, Ph.D., C.Psych.
The effects of a traumatic past can be enormous, and often clients start their work with me feeling quite overwhelmed by their painful memories and experiences. Trauma therapy helps people move forward with their lives, when they've felt stuck for so long. I have written two bestselling books on trauma therapy: Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up (2018) and Trauma and the Avoidant Client (2010). My work centers on helping people be able to find practical ways to move forward, and at the same time, unpack their many complicated feelings about their past experiences.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
"If you've met one trauma survivor, you've met exactly one trauma survivor." Though your symptoms may be similar to others', your trauma is not. This work is delicate, and the process may be long, but I will sit patiently by you while you sort it out, help make sense of it, and bring you back to the here-and-now if you get lost in the then. My work in this area began as a student counsellor in a community mental health centre, under the expert guidance of three trauma-informed supervisors. Since then, I've worked extensively with survivors of complex trauma, accompanying them through their experiences while grounding them in the present and providing strategies for the future.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you think you might be suffering from Complex PTSD? Have you experienced repeated, prolonged exposure to traumatic events such as: childhood abuse, neglect, disrupted attachment, relational trauma, domestic violence, bullying? Do you ever feel internally chaotic, or disconnected from your self and others? Trauma shapes our nervous system and leaves our bodies bracing to be hurt again which is often experienced as living in a constant state of fight or flight.
