Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
I define trauma as anything that overwhelms our nervous system's ability to cope. It's not only about the event or experience itself, but about how one perceives it. Those with a highly sensitive nervous system will likely be more impacted, and I'm passionate about empowering clients to feel more whole, integrated and accepting of themselves. My trauma- informed approach involves prioritizing safety and trust by allowing clients to have full autonomy and collaborate in the therapeutic process. I use EMDR therapy to help reprocess traumatic memories that might be keeping you stuck, and integrate a mixture of cognitive and somatic approaches to help you heal. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

Prevail Psychology
Psychologist, MC:AT
I work with clients who have experienced trauma or continue to feel the impact of past events in their present lives. Using approaches such as EMDR, therapy focuses on processing these experiences so they no longer hold the same intensity or influence. The goal is to move from feeling stuck or reactive to more grounded, stable, and in control.

Ida Uzelman
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Trauma can leave lasting emotional, mental, and physical effects, and PTSD can make daily life feel overwhelming or unsafe. I provide a safe, compassionate space to process traumatic experiences, understand their impact, and develop tools to regain a sense of control and safety. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and empowering you to reclaim your life while honoring your experiences and pace of recovery.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Trauma isn't always a single dramatic event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of things that were said, things that happened, things that should have been there and weren't. Whatever form it took, trauma has a way of shaping how we see ourselves and the world in ways we don't always recognise. I work with people to process what happened at a pace that feels safe, using AEDP and a trauma-informed approach, so it stops running the show.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma has a way of forcing the past to intrude on your present, whether it stems from one specific event or a prolonged series of painful experiences. You might find yourself locked in a state of constant hyper-vigilance, having a trauma response to ordinary situations, or experiencing a heavy emotional numbness that leaves you disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Establishing a deep foundation of safety and trust is my absolute highest priority. Moving at a pace that feels entirely secure for you, I will support you in navigating these overwhelming emotions. The focus is on gently helping your nervous system release stored survival energy, allowing the past to finally remain in the past. As this heavy burden lifts, space opens up for hope to return, empowering you to build a future rich with the things that matter most.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
Generational trauma is the transmission of traumatic experiences and their associated psychological and emotional effects from one generation to the next. This type of trauma can also be passed along through unexamined familial beliefs, sociocultural norms and narratives that describe traumatic events. People with family histories that include systemic oppression or abuse, war, genocide, or marginalization can experience this type of trauma. Generational trauma can manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, shame, and a sense of disconnectedness or isolation. It can also impact family dynamics and relationships, including the ways in which individuals relate to their families of origin, their partners and their own children. Michelle believes that recognizing and processing generational trauma in therapy is an integral step towards putting an end to the legacy of traumatic experience and promoting healing within individuals and their families.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Trauma can leave the nervous system in a state of vigilance, overwhelm, or shutdown, making everyday life feel unpredictable or exhausting. In my work with trauma and PTSD, I use a gentle, integrative approach that includes somatic therapies, mindfulness, parts work (IFS), neuropsychology, CBT, and narrative processing. Together, we help your body and mind reconnect, reduce reactivity, and build the capacity to feel safe inside yourself again. My focus is on strengthening self‑regulation, healing protective parts, and supporting you in reclaiming a sense of agency, steadiness, and inner coherence after overwhelming experiences.

Caroline Lacelle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My treatment approach follows the three phases of trauma treatment; resourcing, reprocessing, and reorienting. Together we will determine the resources you may need to tap into a grounded sense of self through somatic practices and parts work. Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, and ART guide reprocessing to shift past experiences into the past so you can reorient and engage fully in the present.

Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Past and recent painful life experiences such as adverse childhood experiences, domestic abuse,
intergenerational, racial trauma, accidents or any other distressing or disturbing events can cause psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma, often resulting in unfavorable behaviors and strategies, called coping mechanisms, to manage the emotional stress and pain. Unresolved trauma damages a person’s sense of safety, self-evaluation, as well as their ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships with self and others. By concentrating on what’s happening in your body, you can get in touch with trauma-related energy and tension, and your natural survival instincts will take over, safely releasing pent-up energy through shaking, crying, and other forms of physical and emotional release.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a steady, compassionate space for working with PTSD—helping you feel safer, regain control, and reclaim daily life. I use both top‑down approaches (like trauma-focused CBT and memory processing to reframe thoughts and beliefs) and bottom‑up methods (such as grounding, breathwork, sensorimotor techniques, and nervous‑system regulation) so we address both cognitive meaning and bodily responses. Together we’ll pace the work to your needs, build safety and resilience, and create practical tools for coping and recovery.

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.

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.

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.

Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RCC, RTC
When the nervous system is chronically overactivated because of trauma, it can feel like your mind has become programmed to constantly react to danger. Even if you know the danger has past, the body and nervous system may need more convincing. Together in counselling, we’ll work to process trauma, reduce the impact of triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and balance. Using techniques like EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy, and hypnotherapy, we’ll focus on building nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and empowering you to move forward with greater peace.
