Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Trauma does not always live as a story we can simply think or talk our way through. It can show up in the nervous system and body as anxiety, tension, overwhelm, shutdown, disconnection, or reactions that do not fit. 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 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. As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner I work gently with the NS while also exploring the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and energetic aspects of your experience. Together, we create a space for what your system has been holding or carrying and support greater regulation, resilience, connection, and choice.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from physical or sexual assault to natural disasters, serious accidents, or witnessing acts of violence. When trauma remains unresolved, it can lead to lasting psychological effects, including the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
PTSD typically emerges after a single traumatic incident and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. In contrast, CPTSD results from prolonged or repeated trauma—especially during times when escape or protection is not possible, such as in childhood or in abusive relationships. Those living with CPTSD often grapple with emotional dysregulation, persistent negative self-beliefs, and enduring difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships.
Dissociation—a state in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or even their sense of identity—is also a common response among trauma survivors. This protective mechanism can make individuals feel emotionally numb, detached from their surroundings, or as if they are observing their life from outside their body.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), has advanced training in treating trauma, CPTSD, and dissociative symptoms. He works with clients to process and resolve trauma, address emotional wounds, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. His integrative approach may include therapy, medication, and other supportive interventions—empowering individuals to reclaim control, restore inner balance, and rebuild their lives with renewed strength and resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for trauma, PTSD and CPTSD and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Andrea Laznik Amit
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA in clinical psychology
If you experienced abuse, neglect or indifference in your childhood, or unusual events later in life- they affect us extensively. We can explore your attachment patterns created as a result of that and the ruptures created when unusual events happen in our life. This will help you regain control of how they affect you in the present.

Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Past and recent painful life experiences such as adverse childhood experiences, domestic abuse,
intergenerational, racial trauma, accidents or any other distressing or disturbing events can cause psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma, often resulting in unfavorable behaviors and strategies, called coping mechanisms, to manage the emotional stress and pain. Unresolved trauma damages a person’s sense of safety, self-evaluation, as well as their ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships with self and others. By concentrating on what’s happening in your body, you can get in touch with trauma-related energy and tension, and your natural survival instincts will take over, safely releasing pent-up energy through shaking, crying, and other forms of physical and emotional release.

Alex Henderson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, B.A
The bulk of my training is in the world of trauma. My approach is a mixture of neuroscience and spirituality with an emphasis on healing and witnessing. My work around trauma is focused on shame and unburdening, with a specific interest in understanding how what we have experienced has brought us to the moment we are currently in. I have training and experience in various types experiences, including but not limited to sexual, physical, medical, emotional and complex/relational trauma. I cannot promise that the work of healing will be pleasant or easy but I do believe that it is worthwhile and I would be honoured to join you on your journey.
