Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support clients living with trauma and PTSD by creating a safe space to explore the emotional and relational impact of what they've been through. Through a psychodynamic lens, we gently uncover how past experiences may live on in the body, shape beliefs about safety and self-worth, and influence current relationships. Our work honors your pace and resilience, supporting integration, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of inner stability.

Psychologist, C.Psych.
Have you directly experienced, witnessed, or learned about someone close to you who experienced a traumatic event? Do you experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and/or intrusive thoughts about the event that last for months or even years following the traumatic event? If so, MindFit can help.
At MindFit, our coaches provide several evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches to trauma treatment including
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• This program is a 12-session weekly structured treatment that involves education about PTSD, monitoring of events, thoughts and emotions, recognizing and challenging problematic thoughts (that can develop after traumatic events and keep you stuck – e.g., “I can’t trust myself”, “People can’t be trusted”, “Something bad is going to occur again”), writing about the trauma (to examine how you think about it and find ways to live with it), and planning for the future.
Prolonged Exposure (PE)
• This program involves 10-weekly structured sessions and involves a trauma interview and exposures: facing situations and memories that you find scary or may be avoiding to help you learn to cope more effectively. This program also includes breathing retraining, examining reactions to the trauma and planning for the future. The goal is to ease your symptoms and help reduce avoidance (which makes fears worse).
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)
• TF-CBT is a scientifically-based treatment for children and adolescents and their caregivers/parents affected by trauma
• TF-CBT is a structured short term approach (generally 8-16 sessions)
• A diagnosis of PTSD is not required for TF-CBT
• This program also addresses other aspects of trauma including low mood, anxiety, behavioural challenges, and parent/caregiver distress
• Components of treatment include education about trauma, relaxation skills, processing thoughts and beliefs of the trauma, talking about/unpacking the trauma narrative, exposures (facing feared situations), learning to regulate emotions, and planning for the future

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.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can affect how you feel in your body, relate to others, see yourself, and respond to stress long after the danger has passed. I support clients with PTSD and trauma-related concerns using a paced, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, choice, stabilization, and self-understanding. When appropriate, EMDR and mindfulness-based strategies may be used to support trauma processing.

Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Trauma is the result of an event that shatters your feelings of safety. This may be a single event, or multiple events over the course of a lifetime. I provide a warm, non judgmental approach to working with clients that have dealt with such challenging events. By going at a pace that is comfortable for my clients I work to create a safe relationship where they can feel comfortable opening up. Once safety is established, I support my client in processing the traumatic memories and the beliefs that are a result of these events. This could be through different talk therapy techniques (internal family systems, relational therapy, CBT, compassion focused therapy, strengths based therapy), or through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) depending on what feels like the best fit for them.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Trauma affects us on a deep level. It may take years to reappear, or it may have never gone away in the first place. The key is to move past the trauma and not let it affect your life, which is easier said than done. To achieve this, a person must self-regulate their emotions and process their experience safely and helpfully. Self-regulation skills can help someone become aware of their body and mind more, as well as their emotions. This awareness would lead to the development of techniques that better enable you to process and express emotions in a healthy manner. It will also increase your resiliency towards adverse situations. Once you are able to process and express emotions healthily, the trauma can be explored and processed in a way that helps you heal rather than become retraumatized.

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.

KDW Counselling & Consulting
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RSW
Living through trauma can leave lasting effects—memories that intrude, a constant sense of alertness, or feeling shut down and disconnected. PTSD and other trauma responses aren’t signs of weakness; they’re the mind and body’s way of trying to cope with overwhelming experiences. In therapy, there’s space to work through these patterns at a pace that feels safe. Together, we focus on helping you regain a sense of stability, reduce the weight of the past, and move toward feeling more present and whole.

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.
