A ship does not sail with yesterday's wind.
-Louis L'Amour
The collection of memories we each have become a part of our unique human experience. Sometimes past events that were scary, troubling, or traumatic become stuck in our minds and influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present. EMDR is one of the ways we can help understand how the past can affect the present. By working together to gently process the old stuff that is getting in the way, healing and growth can occur.

Trauma can be any event that as a perpetual negative impact on an individual. A common outcome from those that have been traumatizes is PTSD whereby individual re-experience feels of fear and anxiety as a result of the traumatic event. By processing the events and learning how to survive beyond the trauma we can find new ways to thrive in life rather than just survive.

Trauma can impact us in so many different ways and can feel overwhelming and confusing.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Trauma can take many forms. It may come from physical or sexual harm, but it can also develop through betrayal by a spouse or friend, ongoing unsafety in relationships, emotional neglect, or wounds endured while growing up. These experiences can affect how safe you feel, how you relate to others, how you talk to yourself and how your mind and body respond in the present. I help you understand these responses and where they come from, and I help you process what happened and regain a greater sense of safety, choice, and control. You do not have to carry these open wounds forever. They can be scars from the past that no longer dictate your today or tomorrow.

Psychologist, RPsych
When you’re carrying the weight of trauma, the past doesn't stay in the past—it shows up in your body, your thoughts, and your nervous system every single day. Reeling from intrusive memories, sudden panic, hypervigilance, or a constant sense of emotional numbness, you may feel like safety is always just out of reach. You shouldn't have to stay trapped in survival mode or carry the heavy burden of painful memories on your own.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our therapists offer a safe, confidential, and deeply compassionate space to help you reclaim your life after trauma. Using specialized, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapies, we partner with you to gently process painful experiences without overwhelming your system, helping you restore a sense of control and safety from the inside out.

- Rebuild Internal Safety & Connection: Disarm trauma-driven fear, restore trust in yourself and others, and step back into your present life with grounded confidence and peace.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn't have to define your future. Let’s partner together to help you step out of survival mode, heal from within, and reclaim a life of genuine peace and resilience.

Shelley Hanna Psychology
Psychologist, MACP Registered Psychologist
EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD with Certified EMDR therapist Shelley Hanna. EMDR is a World Health Organization approved therapy for trauma and other related disorders. PTSD can cause avoidance behaviours, feeling irritable or angry, distrupting relationships by feeling distant, sleep problems, feeling bad about yourself and the world and unhealthy coping mechanisms among other symptoms. EMDR therapy can help through a process that does not require excess talking or explanation of the event. Your therapist assists with preparation for noticing how trauma shows up in the body and processes it through with alternating stimulation to your brain with eye movement, tapping, or auditory stimulation.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
