Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Trauma can come in many forms—childhood abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, or other deeply painful experiences. If you’ve lived through something like this, you might notice it showing up as intense memories, heightened alertness, feeling numb or disconnected, or anxiety that makes everyday life feel overwhelming. You may also struggle with trust, self-worth, or feeling in control.
In our work together, I provide a safe, compassionate space to process what you’ve been through, rebuild a sense of safety, and rediscover your strength. The goal is to help you feel empowered, connected, and more at ease in your life.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
What if I said that what happened was not your fault, that people can be trusted, and that there's nothing wrong with you?
What if I told you that you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, that you can let go of feeling on edge and hypervigilant?
What if you knew that the only reason you are suspicious, that decisions are hard to make, and that you find it hard to connect with and trust others is because your trauma shook your sense of self, the people around you, and the word more generally?
What if I said that you don't have to live the rest of your life haunted by memories and flashbacks of the worst days of your life? That you don't have to keep distracting yourself? That you're not "too broken or beyond fixing" and that there IS hope?
Trauma and PTSD change the way we think, feel, and behave in many ways but the good news is that these are treatable conditions. There are evidence-based approaches (well research strategies) that can help you rise from your experience(s), release the past into the past, and claim the life you've always wanted.
At New Moon Psychotherapy Trauma is our specialty. We are a team of registered psychotherapists and social workers who specialize in treating post-traumatic stress and related difficulties such as CPTSD, PTSD, addiction/substance Use, self-injury and suicide ideation, emotion dysregulation, perfectionism, anxiety and depression. We work extensively with survivors of sexual violence and criminal victimization (robbery, assault, car jacking, shootings, etc.) as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, natural disasters, bullying, war and near death experiences.
We are committed to using evidence-based approaches - the ones that have been test and tried for the very difficulties that you're experiencing including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy. We offer trauma focused individual, couples, family, and group therapy. We love what we do and stay current through ongoing training and consultation.
Interested in finding relief from trauma symptoms but don't think you can commit to long-term therapy? Our 4-week group focused on Finding Calm in the Body can teach you to calm the nervous system which would bring down intense emotions, hypervigilance, and help you improve sleep and manage flashbacks and body memories. It's an affordable alternative to individual therapy.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.
* * * If you decide not to go with our clinic, please ensure that your therapist is trained in EVIDENCE-BASED Psychotherapies for trauma - this will be the difference between months and years of therapy * * *

Satvinder Khurme
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
One may experience trauma in a situation which is shocking, deeply distressing or disturbing for him, in which he feels helpless and is unable to cope-up. PTSD is a stage when a person after such traumatic experience, feels sad, scared, disconnected, lonely, anxious for a longer period of time.

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.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
As a counsellor for 9 years on The Quick Victim Response Program (QVRP+)list for Ottawa Victim Services, I have successfully dedicated myself to help facilitate the healing of well over one hundred Victim Service clients in the areas of crisis intervention, abuse, and trauma. I provided a safe space for those who have sustained crime-related circumstances, such as physical and sexual assault, including rape. Clients who seek Victim Services include those who have been impacted by intimate partner violence or child abuse. These clients are comprised of those who endured tragedies such as homicide of a family member, or a being a witness to violent crime. I provided an emotional holding environment for victims who have experienced sex trafficking or have been subjected to hate crimes, which have escalated over the past years.
When the tension from trauma is not released, it can get stuck in our nervous system. I use somatic techniques such as trauma renegotiation to help clients release these horrific memories.
Secondary wounding is another common issue that victims of post traumatic stress face as they suffer the double abuse of social condemnation on top of their original misfortune. If any of these issues sound familiar to you, I am here to listen and offer my support and guidance.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Trauma is probably the most overused concept in psychotherapy. To work with trauma, we have to differentiate between everyday normal dissatisfactions in life and profound experience of helplessness, loneliness, fear, and stress caused by a traumatic experience. PTSD is a creative, but often unhealthy, way to cope with trauma that should be acknowledged and experienced in a supportive environment for a healthy processing of the trauma that can lead to post-traumatic growth. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
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. I will also teach you CBT strategies for identifying cognitive distortions, rules and assumptions and core beliefs that drive our reactions to trauma. Congratulations on taking the first step on your healing journey.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma and PTSD by addressing how past experiences shape present-day triggers. For those with PTSD from a single incident, we identify specific triggers and work to resolve their connection to the past, fostering calm and control in the present. For complex PTSD, stemming from prolonged or repeated abuse, I take a relational, layered approach, processing the deep fear, pain, and shame tied to ongoing trauma. With patience and compassion, we regulate emotions, heal core wounds, and shift power dynamics that linger from those experiences. My trauma-informed approach creates a safe space to navigate triggers and reclaim your sense of peace and strength.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
