PTSD/Trauma
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work, or getting out of bed, may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred.
In therapy, we go through various stages of trauma work that help clients regain safety and wellbeing. Through experiential exercises clients have the opportunity to re-tell their story in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I also offer multiple techniques that alleviate anxiety and help "put the brakes on" in case trauma work becomes too overwhelming.
Once clients have strategies to cope with their trauma symptoms, which may include sadness, anger, and/or dissociation, they often experience renewed hope for the future. Additionally, I help clients gain insight into their internal experiences through psychoeducation on the relationship between trauma responses and brain activity.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I offer a steady, compassionate space for working with PTSD—helping you feel safer, regain control, and reclaim daily life. I use both top‑down approaches (like trauma-focused CBT and memory processing to reframe thoughts and beliefs) and bottom‑up methods (such as grounding, breathwork, sensorimotor techniques, and nervous‑system regulation) so we address both cognitive meaning and bodily responses. Together we’ll pace the work to your needs, build safety and resilience, and create practical tools for coping and recovery.

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.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Trauma can affect the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Whether your experiences stem from childhood trauma, difficult relationships, a single overwhelming event, or ongoing adversity, you may find yourself feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, or disconnection. I offer a compassionate space to explore the impact of these experiences and the ways they continue to shape your life. Together, we'll work to process trauma, build resilience, and create a greater sense of safety, connection, and well-being.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
I use internal famoky systems therapy to help people heal trauma. This is an empirically validated approach to help not just with trauma but also a number of other mental health struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. It helps people heal by connected to and experiencing ones true self. This is a very experiential approach that is provides people with the space to do deep healing work.
