PTSD/Trauma
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?

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.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who are navigating the effects of trauma — whether recent or long past. Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world, often showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or difficulty trusting.
My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and paced according to your readiness. Together, we create a safe and supportive space to process experiences, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild a sense of safety, empowerment, and self-trust.

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.

Natalia Vyzhol
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.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Carrying the weight of a past traumatic event or living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can make the world feel unpredictable, unsafe, and constantly overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or sudden flashes of fear, trauma keeps the nervous system locked in a loop of survival long after the danger has passed. Healing from trauma is deeply personal, and you never have to walk that path alone. Using a gentle, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach, we will work collaboratively at a pace that feels safe for you to process your experiences, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim a grounded sense of peace, agency, and safety in your body and life.

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying), CSAT
A traumatic event has left you in deep distress. Whether it was physical or psychological your bodily integrity has been threatened and you do not have enough resources to compensate for the symptoms you are experiencing. Hyper-vigilance, avoidance, increased arousal and activity, depression, intrusive thoughts, difficulty maintaining connection to others and the weight of it all can be overwhelming. These reactions are completely natural, and it’s okay if you feel lost right now. My purpose is to help you process what has happened and begin to find steady ground again.
