PTSD/Trauma
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.

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.

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.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?
