Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
When someone has experienced a traumatic event or series of events, the resulting impact can influence many areas of their life (e.g. work, relationships, self-esteem, etc.) and overwhelm their ability to cope.
The fall-out of trauma can take many forms including confusion, negative self-image, shame, guilt, anger, deep sadness, grief, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation/ loneliness, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, as well as physical challenges.
Not all negative past experiences announce themselves as "trauma." Sometimes they show up as feeling disconnected from your body, difficulty with intimacy, or patterns that don't quite make sense. Whether it's sexual abuse, sexual assault, childhood neglect, or other overwhelming experiences, you don't need to have named it as trauma to benefit from this work.
Complex trauma—especially sexual trauma—often lives in the body long after the mind thinks it has "moved on." This work focuses on helping you reclaim parts of yourself that may have been shut down or protected for good reason. We go at your pace to process experiences that may still be influencing how you move through the world.
I work with clients who present as high-functioning but feel stuck, numb, tense, or disconnected in ways they can’t fully explain. The goal is to help you feel safe and connected in your own skin again, to trust your instincts, and to engage in life from a place of choice rather than protection. You deserve to feel whole and present in your own life.
**I’m an approved provider for the Crime Victim Assistance Program, the Residential Historical Abuse Program, and Survivors of Residential Schools. My approach is steady, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you reclaim safety, capacity, and a sense of self that feels whole and trustworthy.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that supports the processing of trauma and PTSD. My work also centres the mind–body connection, recognising how trauma is held not just in memory, but in the nervous system. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, gently processing experiences while building stability and a greater sense of grounding. The aim is not to erase the past, but to help it feel less overwhelming and more integrated into your life.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Trauma can leave the nervous system in a state of vigilance, overwhelm, or shutdown, making everyday life feel unpredictable or exhausting. In my work with trauma and PTSD, I use a gentle, integrative approach that includes somatic therapies, mindfulness, parts work (IFS), neuropsychology, CBT, and narrative processing. Together, we help your body and mind reconnect, reduce reactivity, and build the capacity to feel safe inside yourself again. My focus is on strengthening self‑regulation, healing protective parts, and supporting you in reclaiming a sense of agency, steadiness, and inner coherence after overwhelming experiences.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I support clients who have experienced trauma or are living with PTSD by using EMDR to gently process distressing memories that may still feel overwhelming or “stuck.” This therapy helps your brain reframe these experiences so they no longer dominate your thoughts, emotions, or reactions. Through EMDR, clients often notice reduced triggers, increased emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of safety, control, and resilience in their everyday lives.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Holistic Wellness Coach and Counsellor | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Trauma comes in many different shapes and sizes. Often times we don't even know it is there until it gets activated and shows up in the nervous system, the body, mind or heart. Our nervous system (NS) is keeper of all things, and by working with the NS we can dive deep into the origins of this stored remembering of life's event and experiences.
