Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Trauma reshapes how the nervous system understands safety, and it doesn't always look like flashbacks. I work with clients carrying complex relational trauma, single-incident PTSD, and the particular weight that accumulates in first responder work, where there's often no space to process what's been witnessed and an expectation to keep moving. Whether the trauma is layered over years or tied to specific events, we work at a pace that doesn't outrun your capacity to stay present.

ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed
Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
I have dedicated over twenty years to supporting clients through various forms of trauma and PTSD. I have witnessed how traumatic events get stored in such a way that one's understanding of self and world become impaired. My dedication to the area of trauma has revealed a profound truth: at the heart of recovery from painful life events is the ability to heal what is stuck. Using treatment strategies like EMDR, Ego state work, attachment-focused, client-centered practice I will work with you to tackle the pieces of your experience that remain stuck, leaving you with a sense of relief and a neutralized experience of the trauma and PTSD.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
As a relational therapist, my speciality is relational trauma (harms we've experienced or enacted within relationships) and complex trauma (trauma that is or was ongoing, such as childhood abuse or neglect). I'm also deeply attentive to forms of structural and intergenerational trauma, such as the traumatic effects of colonialism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, war, displacement, and other oppressions.
I'm very client-led, especially when it comes to addressing traumatic experience. I have great respect for the trust-building processes that may need to precede any disclosures of trauma. I also believe healing can happen in a variety of ways—there's many valid ways to address the effects of trauma. What will be important is that we co-create what works for you and remain attentive to how you're experiencing the therapy process.
Relational therapy believes that healing happens through relationships, including the therapeutic relationship. The lack of support, witnessing, validation, accountability, or reparations we experience in the wake of harm are often traumas in and of themselves. Therapy can be a place to finally experience some of this—to have someone be with you in your grief, horror, or rage, and to reclaim the parts of yourself that were lost.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
PTSD is more common and complex than many realize. Often, it's mistakenly limited to military veterans, survivors of natural disasters, or victims of violence. However, PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, life experiences, age, or gender. It impacts well-being in four key ways: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Individuals are at higher risk if they have experienced direct trauma exposure, witnessed trauma, experienced trauma as a child, or did not receive adequate help.
If you or someone you know is struggling, I am a trained trauma therapist ready to help you recover and heal so you don't have to continue suffering.

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.

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.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Traumatic experiences (yes including the one you are thinking isn't *that* traumatic right now) hurt and change us in unique ways. Working through what we have experienced and making sense of how it continues to impact us in the present can allow us to take care of ourselves and be compassionate when the way we've been impacted shows up in ways we wish it wouldn't. We can also use these opportunities to lean into the possibility of post-traumatic growth - that moment when we realize that, after healing, we are stronger than ever.

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.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave lasting effects even long after the event is over. You might find yourself feeling constantly on edge, emotionally numb, easily triggered, or stuck in patterns that you know are connected to something deeper. Whether it’s a single traumatic event or years of ongoing trauma, your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you, but now, you're ready to start healing.
In therapy, we create a safe and supportive space to help you process your experiences at your own pace. We’ll work together to reduce the intensity of symptoms, rebuild your sense of safety, and help you feel more in control of your body, emotions, and life. Our approach is always trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to what feels manageable for you.
You don’t have to keep reliving the past. Healing is possible, and you deserve it.

Hamilton is undergoing rapid transformation from a steel city to an emerging arts, tech, and health-sciences hub, and therapists here frequently work with the tension between a proud working-class identity and the changes brought by gentrification and urban renewal. McMaster University and McMaster University Medical Centre — one of Canada's leading health research institutions — provide institutional mental health resources and an active clinical training ecosystem. The city's significant immigrant population from South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America drives demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. Hamilton's affordability relative to Toronto has made it a destination for those priced out of the GTA, and therapists regularly address the adjustment challenges of relocation and community rebuilding.
