Mary D'Agostino
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Qualifying)
Trauma can affect the nervous system, relationships, emotions, self-esteem, and sense of safety long after difficult experiences have passed. Some people experience flashbacks, panic, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting themselves or others, while others simply feel stuck in survival mode without fully understanding why. I provide trauma-informed therapy using approaches such as EMDR, ACT, and IFS to help clients safely process traumatic experiences, better understand their responses, and move toward healing in a way that feels manageable and supportive.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from physical or sexual assault to natural disasters, serious accidents, or witnessing acts of violence. When trauma remains unresolved, it can lead to lasting psychological effects, including the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
PTSD typically emerges after a single traumatic incident and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. In contrast, CPTSD results from prolonged or repeated trauma—especially during times when escape or protection is not possible, such as in childhood or in abusive relationships. Those living with CPTSD often grapple with emotional dysregulation, persistent negative self-beliefs, and enduring difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships.
Dissociation—a state in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or even their sense of identity—is also a common response among trauma survivors. This protective mechanism can make individuals feel emotionally numb, detached from their surroundings, or as if they are observing their life from outside their body.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), has advanced training in treating trauma, CPTSD, and dissociative symptoms. He works with clients to process and resolve trauma, address emotional wounds, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. His integrative approach may include therapy, medication, and other supportive interventions—empowering individuals to reclaim control, restore inner balance, and rebuild their lives with renewed strength and resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for trauma, PTSD and CPTSD and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Trauma isn't just about what happened in the past; it’s about how those experiences live on in your body and mind today. It can feel like being stuck in a constant state of high alert, experiencing intrusive memories, or feeling profoundly disconnected from yourself and others. Whether you are navigating a single distressing event or a history of relational trauma, I provide a secure, compassionate space to unpack the impact these experiences have had on your sense of safety and your identity.
My approach is deeply trauma-informed and rooted in the belief that your "symptoms" are actually survival strategies your system created to protect you. We can use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help your nervous system finally "digest" and file away traumatic memories that feel stuck in the present. By weaving in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and psychodynamic insights, we work to unburden the parts of you that carry the weight of the past. My goal is to help you move from a state of survival toward a reclaimed sense of peace, resilience, and wholeness.

Experiencing trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical imprints, affecting your ability to feel safe, connected, and in control. As a somatic and shame-informed therapist, I integrate talk therapy, body-focused techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR to help process traumatic experiences and reduce distressing symptoms. My approach acknowledges the way trauma is stored in the body, allowing clients to release tension, rebuild self-trust, and develop emotional resilience. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can work through PTSD, past abuse, or distressing life events at your own pace, supporting you in reclaiming a sense of safety and empowerment.

Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Living with trauma is exhausting. It often leaves people feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed, misunderstood and under supported. I work with trauma clients to help them to process what has happened in the past, cope with what they are experiencing in the present and look forward to building and maintaining a stable healthy future. I draw on psychodynamic, somatic, cognitive processing and narrative theories and approaches. You can contact me to schedule a free consultation to determine if I am the best fit for you.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of trauma or diagnosed or suspected PTSD. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on other forms of trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave your body stuck in survival mode—hypervigilance, shutdown, nightmares, triggers, emotional numbness, or intense reactivity. Therapy helps you expand your window of tolerance, process what happened safely, and rebuild a felt sense of control and connection. Healing is possible without reliving everything, and we’ll move at a pace your nervous system can handle.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Trauma - whether relational, developmental, or intergenerational - can shape how you know yourself, your body, and your relationships. It may show up as anxiety (persistent ungrounded excitation in your body), overwhelm (too much, too fast), dissociation (I have to leave in order to stay in this situation), difficulty trusting, or feeling disconnected from yourself and/or others. At one time, any one of these responses was the way you learned how to survive an intolerable situation. Without support to contain and integrate, these brilliant, adaptive, creative adjustments to the original experience can persist long after the original event/situation. In our work together, we take an embodied, relational approach, exploring how these patterns live in your present-moment experience: in your sensations, emotions, thoughts, and ways of relating. I want you to know that I have too much respect for your creative adaptations to propose trying to "fix," get rid of, or push through what you’re feeling. These ways have kept you intact for a long time - to remove them before understanding their purpose would be too risky. Instead, we move at your pace, building awareness and support so you can stay connected to yourself securely in the here and now (I’m moving beside you throughout this process). The good news is always this: you survived. You're here now. This process honours the ways your responses once protected you, while creating space for integration, self-trust, and new possibilities for connection, choice, and a more expanded sense of who you are.

Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a well-researched and highly effective approach for treating trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It involves a structured process where individuals are guided to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and distress.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of EMDR, with research showing that it can lead to significant symptom reduction and improved overall well-being in individuals with trauma and PTSD. The therapy is designed to help individuals process and integrate traumatic memories, allowing them to move towards healing and recovery. It is considered a valuable and evidence-based treatment option for those who have experienced trauma and are seeking relief from its lasting effects.

Trauma can change our lives and drive our behaviours and reactions. When something traumatic happens to us, our entire body is affected; not only psychologically, but physiologically too. The good news is that the symptoms of PTSD and the resulting problems from trauma ca be radically improved. I am a trained certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP). Together, we will explore EMDR, mindfulness techniques, grounding and relaxation.

Theresa Stock
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist, Somatic Practitioner
As a Somatic Experiencing trained therapist i work with the "felt sense" of trauma in the body. I use small amounts of the "story" to elicit activation of the stress response (fight/flight/freeze) and slowly explore the sensations that are noticed in order to promote healing.

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with a largely White, upper-middle-class population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighborhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
