Trauma and PTSD
Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
Trauma is how our bodies and minds react to distressing events of the past. Sometimes trauma results in a diagnosis of PTSD, but it can also lead to various other mental health diagnoses. Trauma can show up for us in many different ways, but it can often impede our ability to connect with others, be our full genuine selves and live our lives to the fullest. In our work together, we’ll start to identify signs of trauma, how it’s impacting you and work on ways to process through it. I have training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a treatment modality for processing trauma.

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.

Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
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.

Jane Green MA LPA-IP
Counsellor/Therapist, Licensed Psychological Associate in Independent Practice
PTSD is an extreme anxiety reaction to trauma. Sometimes it is necessary to examine the past to let go of it completely. Sometimes it is necessary to learn techniques to purge intrusive thoughts and feelings. Like all anxiety it is based largely on our thinking patterns. Knowing we can change those thoughts give power to make substantial changes.
