Ajay Sahota
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.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Trauma is both a mental and physiological experience that manifests differently for each person, and at Nightingale Counselling we approach trauma therapy with the understanding that simply acknowledging the presence of trauma and choosing to address it is already an act of profound courage. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring the approach to each client's unique history, cultural background, and therapeutic needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Whether the trauma stems from abuse, a single distressing event, or a lifetime of complex relational harm, our trauma-informed team is committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can begin to process the past, reduce the intrusion of painful memories, and reclaim a life that feels lighter and more fully their own.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
My trauma-informed and PTSD and C-PTSD work integrates mind-body awareness, nervous system regulation, and relational healing. We explore how past experiences shape current patterns as we work to build safety, resilience, and emotional stability. The aim is to help you regain a grounded, empowered connection to yourself through a deep understanding of lived experiences and their links to the present.

Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, CTP, CSTS
Trauma can impact how you relate to yourself, others, emotions, safety, and the world around you. I recognize the vulnerability and courage involved in turning toward painful experiences and the protective patterns that may have developed in response to them. Therapy can become a compassionate and grounded space to explore these experiences with greater safety, self-understanding, and support while moving toward healing, authenticity, and meaningful change.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist, I integrate an understanding of the emotional, relational, and nervous system impacts of trauma while tailoring therapy to your unique experiences, strengths, needs, and pace.

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.

Victoria Counselling Centre
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma affects more than just your memories. It can live in the body, shape your emotions, and influence the way you move through the world. Whether your trauma is the result of a single event or a series of experiences over time, healing is possible. We offer trauma therapy that honours your story, your pace, and your path to recovery. We understand that trauma looks and feels different for everyone. It might show up as anxiety, fear, numbness, emotional overwhelm, or even physical pain. You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t explain. Whatever you’re carrying, our experienced therapists are here to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin healing on your own terms.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
The effects of trauma can show up in many ways, including anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Often, these responses developed as ways of coping with experiences that felt too much, too fast, or too painful.
In therapy, we can move at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus on building a foundation of safety, trust, and emotional regulation, while others may involve deeper processing through approaches such as EMDR or parts work. Together, we can work toward helping you better understand yourself, reconnect with your emotions, and cultivate a greater sense of safety and self-trust.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
work with complex trauma through the lens of NARM, the NeuroAffective Relational Model. NARM understands trauma not as a single event but as the way early relational environments shaped your relationship to yourself, your needs, your boundaries, and your capacity for connection. We work with what is alive in you right now, the patterns your nervous system is still running, rather than asking you to retell or relive the past. This is present-focused, body-informed, and relational at its core.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
I use internal famoky systems therapy to help people heal trauma. This is an empirically validated approach to help not just with trauma but also a number of other mental health struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. It helps people heal by connected to and experiencing ones true self. This is a very experiential approach that is provides people with the space to do deep healing work.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Traumatic grief can happen when a death is sudden, unexpected, violent, unexplained, or impossible to make sense of. This may include losses connected to suicide, overdose, accidents, homicide, sudden medical events, or deaths where the cause or circumstances feel unclear. Any death can feel traumatic, but traumatic grief often carries an extra layer of shock because the person was here, and then suddenly they were not.
I support adults navigating traumatic grief, including the fear, confusion, anger, guilt, unanswered questions, looping thoughts, and emotional overwhelm that can follow this kind of loss. When a death feels random, preventable, unclear, or deeply unfair, the mind often tries to search for reasons, blame, facts, or something that will make the loss feel less unbearable.
As a certified grief coach, I help clients understand why traumatic grief can feel different from other grief experiences. I acknowledge and normalize what they are thinking and feeling, explain these reactions in plain language, and offer practical tools to help manage triggers, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, guilt, anger, and the search for answers after a traumatic or unclear death.
