Domestic violence cycle which can lead us to feel stuck regardless of how much pain (emotionally, psychically and mentally) we may be in. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Rachel Brennan
Registered Psychotherapist, B.Sc., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a certified trauma treatment professional with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support for survivors of domestic violence and abuse. I understand the profound impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being, especially in the context of abusive relationships. I offer a safe and confidential space for survivors to explore their experiences, process their trauma, and work towards healing and empowerment.
Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, I help clients address the complex effects of trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. EMDR is particularly effective in processing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms, paving the way for healing and recovery. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, validation, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.
Survivors of domestic violence and abuse deserve compassionate support as they rebuild their lives and regain control. I am here to provide the guidance, tools, and resources needed to navigate this journey towards healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Together, we can work towards breaking free from the cycle of abuse and creating a life of safety, dignity, and empowerment.
