PTSD/Trauma
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with trauma or PTSD, you may feel as though your body and mind are still reacting to something that has already happened. You might experience intrusive memories, nightmares, emotional numbness, heightened startle responses, or strong reactions that feel out of proportion to the present moment. Trauma is not simply remembered. It is often stored in the nervous system.
At Selah Counselling, we approach trauma with care, pacing, and clinical precision. Our first focus is safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills and nervous system regulation so your body feels more secure before processing traumatic material. In addition to talk therapy, we may use bottom-up approaches that work directly with how trauma is stored in the body. This can include EMDR and other evidence-based methods designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional intensity and restores integration.
Our goal is not to rush the story, but to help you regain a sense of control, clarity, and steadiness. Healing from trauma is possible when the body, brain, and narrative are supported together.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals healing from PTSD, trauma, or past difficult experiences. I understands how trauma can affect emotional, physical, and relational well-being, and believes that healing begins with safety, validation, and compassionate guidance.
Using an integrative approach I help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce anxiety and hypervigilance, and develop coping strategies to regain a sense of control and stability. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and gradual, achievable steps toward emotional regulation and resilience.
I provide a confidential environment where clients can work through trauma, restore inner strength, and move toward healing and a more balanced, fulfilling life—one compassionate step at a time.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Healing from trauma requires more than just talking about the past; it requires helping your nervous system feel safe in the present. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field, I have developed a specialized focus on childhood trauma and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). I understand how early relationship wounds can leave 'parts' of you stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed.
My approach is gentle, paced, and focused on your safety. We move beyond simple symptom management to address the deep-seated patterns formed in childhood. By combining my extensive clinical background with a compassionate, relational lens, I help you unburden these protective parts and move from a state of constant hyper-vigilance toward a life of genuine internal peace and resilience.

PTSD/Trauma
Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
Trauma and PTSD are now understood to be much more common than previously thought. The new research, in particular, by Bessel van der Kolk, has said that trauma is “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside [the individual].” These events leave us stuck in a state of helplessness and terror, and results in a change in how we perceive danger. So together we will work to process and release that trauma, emotionally and physically.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Support for Trauma and PTSD
Trauma leaves imprints—not just in memory, but in the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious. I offer a safe, attuned space to explore those imprints with care, clarity, and compassion.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how deeply trauma can affect relationships, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. My approach is gentle yet effective, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic awareness, mindfulness, and reflective process work to support healing at your own pace.
Areas of Focus Include:
• Complex trauma and early relational wounds
• Single-incident trauma and acute stress
• Military and first responder experiences
• Interpersonal violence and emotional abuse
• Anxiety, panic, and hypervigilance linked to trauma
This work is about restoring a sense of safety—internally and relationally. Together, we’ll explore what’s been held, what’s been silenced, and what’s ready to be released. I prioritize trust, respect, and emotional presence, creating a space where you can feel deeply heard and supported as you reconnect with your strength and resilience.

Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Sometimes traumatic past experiences can interfere with our present life, with emotions or reactions that seem too intense for the situation. With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, we may also have memories or images that affect our waking and sleeping life. I have specialized training in EMDR, which helps you process intense past experiences so you can put those emotions and experiences in the past. Internal Family Systems therapy can help you heal the source of the intense emotions and develop a positive relationship to the parts of you that you may feel a struggle with. I work with you to identify your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you, so you can be in charge of your healing.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Trauma often shows up in many areas of life. While PTSD is a clinical diagnosis, trauma is the underlying cause. Healing involves approaching your pain with compassionate curiosity, reconnecting with the body, and challenging the false beliefs formed during the traumatic experience. Because we are hurt in relationships, much of the healing happens through safe, therapeutic connection, and together we will develop new ways of relating, coping, and moving forward.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
