Morgan Mackenzie
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In my practice, I offer support to individuals who have experienced trauma. Trauma can profoundly impact one's emotional and psychological well-being, affecting various aspects of life. I approach trauma-informed care with empathy, creating a safe and validating space for clients to explore their experiences at their own pace. Utilizing evidence-based approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to process and integrate traumatic memories. My goal is to empower individuals to regain a sense of control, build resilience, and foster post-traumatic growth. Whether the trauma is recent or from the past, I am committed to supporting individuals on their journey towards healing, restoration, and a renewed sense of self.

Trauma and PTSD
Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and pull from approaches that will allow us to build an understanding of the protective strategies formed to survive the emotional and mental impact of the trauma, and cultivate self-acceptance and trust with ourselves and others.

Trauma and PTSD
Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
When people hear the word 'trauma', they may envision a horrific, life altering event. Although this could very well be the case, trauma is more of an internal process that is dictated not so much by the external event, but rather by the internal response to that event. People who are impacted by trauma are often still connected to that internal reaction and taken back there when they encounter certain triggers. In working with clients who may identify as trauma or PTSD victims, I aim to find ways to process their trauma to whatever degree feels comfortable while also reeling them back into the present moment and coaching them on how to do this outside of therapy. I also aim to strengthen the neuronal pathways that let one know they are safe and that they can heal from the past. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
In the face of traumatic experiences, we experience many complex coping mechanisms. We can deny its impact, we can dissociate, we can minimize its effect on our lives so that we don't have to feel the pain that the violation and betrayal caused. Healing looks like restoring you to your full personhood free from the memory fragments, compartmentalization and physical tension that you experience. It is putting Humpty-Dumpty back together again.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Trauma can profoundly impact life, often in ways that are deeply embedded and not immediately apparent. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we address trauma using an evidence-based, phased approach that is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed, recognizing the unique journey each individual faces in their healing.
Our therapy sessions are structured to navigate through the stages of trauma recovery carefully. We begin with establishing safety and stability, ensuring that you feel secure and grounded before delving deeper. This phase is crucial in building a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing you with tools for emotional regulation and coping.
In the next phase, we gently and respectfully approach the process of remembering and mourning. This involves exploring the trauma narrative, validating experiences, and working through the memories and emotions associated with the traumatic events.
The final phase focuses on reconnection and integration. Here, the goal is to help you integrate the traumatic experiences into your life story without them dominating your present or future. We work on building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and fostering a sense of empowerment. This phase is about moving beyond trauma, embracing growth, and looking towards the future with hope and confidence.
Throughout this phased approach, we ensure that each step is taken with care, always respecting your pace and readiness. Our virtual therapy sessions provide a convenient and comfortable space for this important work, ensuring that you have consistent support wherever you are.
Begin your path to healing with Collaborative Care Therapy, where we are committed to guiding you through the complexities of trauma towards a life of greater peace and fulfillment.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Our traumatic experiences are survival responses that can become embedded in our bodies, brains, and nervous systems impacting our lives long after the original trauma was experienced. How these trauma experiences were responded to (or not responded to originally) can also profoundly inform the ongoing experience of living with trauma. My approach unites techniques from leading, evidence-based methods including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness and psychodynamic psychotherapy to address overwhelming emotions like shame, anger, anxiety, fear, and depression.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.

Elena Serra
Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (RP-Q)
Trauma is our #1 specialty. There are many kinds of trauma "disorders", ranging from single-event PTSD (e.g. surviving a fire) to a more subtle and complex trauma caused by repeated experiences of invalidation, silencing, gaslighting, narcissistic parenting, bullying, and other adverse childhood events. We would like to work with you to overcome emotional flashbacks, recurring nightmares, dissociation, insecurity, depression, anxiety, loneliness, difficulty managing emotions, and other problems associated with trauma.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can impact every part of ourselves; the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Trauma, no matter how big or small, makes us feel that we do not have control over our lives and are vulnerable to threat. Trauma often stays in the body and the subconscious mind, until we are ready to address it. With a focus on the nervous system and its role in storing trauma, I provide my clients with a safe, nurturing environment in which they can express and explore their trauma from the past or present. Using practical tools based in CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic-informed approaches, I help my clients process the trauma in a gradual way. Trauma does not have to control your life. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to help them overcome it and move forward.
