Jihan Girgis
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP (Q)
Trauma and PTSD are connected and they cause a freezing of the trauma experience. Whenever a trigger arises, the individual goes back to this memory and cannot manage the terror that comes with it. As an EMDR trained therapist I will support you and help you navigate these traumas in your memory network to regain your life back.

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Bth
In addressing trauma and PTSD, I utilize mindfulness-based interventions to help clients anchor themselves in the present, reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and flashbacks.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime, whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, our exposure to the violence or war.
While many people may experience strong symptoms in the early days following trauma and will improve over time, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, helplessness, confusion, and develop post-traumatic stress (PTSD) far after the event has passed.
The support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
If you are experiencing some of the symptoms listed below, you may have developed PTSD.
Re-experiencing Symptoms
Intrusive thoughts, disturbing memories of trauma, of nightmares, or flashbacks in which it feels as though the trauma is happening again
Avoidance Symptoms
Avoiding specific locations, sights, situations, and sounds that serve as reminders of the event
Anxiety, depression, numbness, or guilt
Negative Mood and Cognition Symptoms
Loss of interest in activities that were once considered enjoyable
Difficulty remembering details of the distressing event
Change in habits or behavior since the trauma
Hyperarousal Symptoms
Anger, irritability, and hypervigilance
Aggressive, reckless behavior, including self-harm
Sleep disturbances
Research has proven psychotherapy to be an effective form of treatment for trauma. Through evidence-based modalities, you will learn mindfulness, relaxation, and regulation tools that will help you to feel safe and secure in the present life. Once you regain stability, we can work on changing the way you process a traumatic experience.
We may explore how your traumatic experience impacted your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. It will help you address issues you may be having since the trauma related to trust, safety, power/control, esteem, and intimacy.
If you struggle with these symptoms and challenges please reach me today for a free consultation.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Ever felt like you were merely surviving in life instead of thriving? There may be a possibility that you've experienced something traumatic. The truth is that trauma ranges from not being heard as a child to experiencing a catastrophic event. Trauma can show up in the body as chronic physical or emotional pain. Either way, it's best to have your situation re-assessed by a professional to see how these layers of trauma have been blocking you from living the life you deserve.

Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you find yourself reliving your trauma event over and over? Do you often feel overwhelmed or on edge? Experiencing or witnessing trauma can be a transformative experience. Any sudden and unexpected event that negatively impacts your well-being and sense of security can lead to difficulties in coping after the event. You may constantly feel anger, irritation, or a general sense of overwhelm due to the aftereffects of a more recent traumatic event (or even one that happened long ago).
