Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I support clients who have experienced trauma or are living with PTSD by using EMDR to gently process distressing memories that may still feel overwhelming or “stuck.” This therapy helps your brain reframe these experiences so they no longer dominate your thoughts, emotions, or reactions. Through EMDR, clients often notice reduced triggers, increased emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of safety, control, and resilience in their everyday lives.

Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
When someone has experienced a traumatic event or series of events, the resulting impact can influence many areas of their life (e.g. work, relationships, self-esteem, etc.) and overwhelm their ability to cope.
The fall-out of trauma can take many forms including confusion, negative self-image, shame, guilt, anger, deep sadness, grief, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation/ loneliness, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, as well as physical challenges.
Not all negative past experiences announce themselves as "trauma." Sometimes they show up as feeling disconnected from your body, difficulty with intimacy, or patterns that don't quite make sense. Whether it's sexual abuse, sexual assault, childhood neglect, or other overwhelming experiences, you don't need to have named it as trauma to benefit from this work.
Complex trauma—especially sexual trauma—often lives in the body long after the mind thinks it has "moved on." This work focuses on helping you reclaim parts of yourself that may have been shut down or protected for good reason. We go at your pace to process experiences that may still be influencing how you move through the world.
I work with clients who present as high-functioning but feel stuck, numb, tense, or disconnected in ways they can’t fully explain. The goal is to help you feel safe and connected in your own skin again, to trust your instincts, and to engage in life from a place of choice rather than protection. You deserve to feel whole and present in your own life.
**I’m an approved provider for the Crime Victim Assistance Program, the Residential Historical Abuse Program, and Survivors of Residential Schools. My approach is steady, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you reclaim safety, capacity, and a sense of self that feels whole and trustworthy.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Trauma and PTSD affect both the mind and the body, often showing up as hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, numbness, intrusive memories, or physical tension. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, supporting nervous system regulation, safe processing of experiences, and a gradual restoration of stability, choice, and a sense of safety in the present moment.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Trauma can impact every aspect of our lives, and you deserve time and care to release and re-ground. Whether you're needing support unravelling difficult thoughts, feelings, or memories, or wanting to process painful experiences, I'm here to slowly, safely walk through them with you. Sometimes talking through our experiences is helpful, sometimes tuning into our bodies and nervous systems is what's needed instead. I'll meet you where you're at to support your unique journey, with various ways of exploring and healing trauma.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Experiences of trauma and PTSD can have a lasting impact on how you feel in your body, your emotions, and your sense of safety in the world. You might notice symptoms such as flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, or feeling easily overwhelmed or triggered. Trauma can also affect relationships, self-trust, and the ability to feel present or grounded in daily life.
In our work together, we’ll prioritize safety and choice at every step. Rather than pushing into distressing material too quickly, we’ll first focus on building stability, grounding, and resources to support your nervous system. When appropriate, we will gently process traumatic experiences in a way that feels contained and manageable, always guided by your readiness and capacity.
I draw from approaches such as EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. EMDR can be especially helpful in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, while other approaches support regulation, self-compassion, and reconnection to self and body. Together, we’ll work toward a greater sense of safety, integration, and ease in your daily life.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body and mind—showing up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or a sense of being “stuck” in old patterns. In therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, helping you reconnect with a sense of stability and self-trust. My approach draws on nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and attachment awareness to support healing that’s both gentle and lasting—so you can begin to feel more grounded, present, and whole.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

Shaunna Grams, Grams Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope, both in the moment and after the event. Our bodies can become stuck in various states (e.g. hyper vigilance or hypo vigilance) and our minds unable to process or respond to information. In order to help restore functionality, both the mind and the body need to be in sync for functional and resilient living.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but trying to disentangle and confronting your feelings and getting professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD. Traumata can also be micro-traumata that we need to make sense of.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that supports the processing of trauma and PTSD. My work also centres the mind–body connection, recognising how trauma is held not just in memory, but in the nervous system. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, gently processing experiences while building stability and a greater sense of grounding. The aim is not to erase the past, but to help it feel less overwhelming and more integrated into your life.

Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.
