Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
When traumatic experiences shatter your sense of safety, the past has a disorienting way of invading the present. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn't simply a set of memories you can't forget—it is your nervous system remaining trapped in survival mode long after the threat has passed. Whether triggered by a single overwhelming event, complex relational trauma, or prolonged distress, your body stays braced for impact through sudden flashbacks, hyper-vigilance, emotional numbness, or disruptive sleep.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we recognize that these intense responses are not flaws, but adaptive survival strategies your system created to keep you alive. Guided by our practice values of empathy, integrity, tailored care, and authentic growth, we offer a rock-solid, trauma-informed sanctuary where healing moves at a pace that honors your boundaries—never forcing you to relive pain before you are ready.
Pathways to Restoring Internal Safety:
Unwind the Survival Alarm: Utilize gentle somatic grounding and nervous system regulation to discharge trapped physiological fight, flight, or freeze energy.
Process Traumatic Memories Safely: Integrate painful experiences using evidence-based, compassionate approaches that take the sharp, reactive edge off intrusive memories.
Reclaim Your Life & Wholeness: Rebuild an unshakable sense of present-moment safety, cultivate deep self-compassion, and step back into a life defined by peace rather than protection.
Trauma may have changed the way you experience the world, but it does not get to write the rest of your story. Together, we can help your nervous system realize the danger is over, allowing you to step out of constant defense and back into genuine connection, vitality, and joy.

PTSD/Trauma
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Complex and relational trauma can develop when difficult experiences happen repeatedly, especially within relationships where safety, trust, or care were inconsistent. You may notice patterns such as hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting others, intense reactions to conflict, or a sense that you lose yourself in relationships. I take a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing approach that understands these responses as adaptations rather than flaws. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts-oriented work, we can gently explore how past experiences continue to shape your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, while building greater safety, choice, and connection in the present.

Adrie-Anne Gamble
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC, CCC, EMDR | ERP | IFS | Attachment
Trauma can change the way you think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world around you. Even when the danger has passed, your mind and body may continue responding as though it hasn’t. Together, we’ll understand how your experiences have shaped these patterns and use evidence based therapies to help your nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs begin to change.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
When a child experiences trauma—whether it’s a single event or ongoing stress—it can overwhelm their ability to cope and leave lasting emotional imprints. I specialize in working with children who have experienced trauma or show signs of PTSD, using play therapy, art, and attachment-based approaches to gently support healing. In our sessions, children are given a safe space to express their experiences without pressure, regain a sense of safety, and slowly process what they’ve been through at a pace that honors their nervous system.
Children are also deeply impacted by their parent’s trauma, even if they can’t fully articulate it. That’s why I offer counseling and parent support to help caregivers navigate their own healing while staying emotionally available for their child. Whether trauma is part of your child’s story, your own, or both, therapy provides a bridge toward connection, understanding, and lasting resilience. Healing is possible—and it begins with feeling safe, seen, and supported.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
As a trauma-informed counselling therapist, I have special training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems, two evidence-based practices that work explicitly to bring healing to our traumatic wounds. These modalities have facilitated the healing of my own traumas, and I'm excited to witness how effective they are in bringing healing to those with whom I work.

Rebecca Bonham
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
As you no doubt already know intimately, trauma affects every aspect of our being and functioning. Our brains shut down, our bodies react, our emotions take on a life of their own - or disappear altogether. Our work will start with grounding you and your body in safety, and building awareness and appreciation for the ways our bodies hold trauma for us. Once we have enough safety in our bodies, we can begin offering curiosity to the parts of us that have learned to protect us with varying coping and survival skills. We'll acknowledge and honour the ways our parts knew how to take care of us, even as we invite them into a new relationship within us, where they can be unburdened and we can reconnect with the healing power of our own inner resources: calm, curiosity, compassion, connectedness, creativity, courage, clarify, and confidence. I'll support you in connecting with your wounded parts that long to be healed as only you can do. You will learn to connect with your pain and vulnerability in new ways that brings lasting healing and integration. This is tender work, and we'll take it as slowly as your system needs it to go. Your safety and choice are of utmost importance in this work.
