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.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Trauma can continue to affect daily life long after the experience itself has passed, sometimes through intrusive memories, heightened alertness, avoidance, emotional numbness, sleep difficulties, or changes in relationships. I provide trauma-informed counselling and EMDR therapy to help clients process distressing experiences, reduce their ongoing impact, and develop a greater sense of stability and control in their lives.

Daniel Keith McMath
Counsellor/Therapist, | Coach | PCC, MPCC
Trauma isn't simply what happened to you. It's often what your life had to become in order to survive what happened. It can quietly shape your relationships, your nervous system, your confidence, and the way you move through the world long after the danger has passed. Healing isn't about forgetting the past. It's about understanding how your mind and body learned to protect you while discovering that survival no longer has to be the only way you participate in life.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
These days, the word "trauma" seems to be a buzz-word that people are using to describe upsetting experiences, but that is so minimizing. Trauma is REAL and huge and overwhelming. It is having horrific things done to you without your consent, it is being in a life-threatening situation, it is having experiences that no one should ever have and which the brain just cannot process on its own. And then somehow having to live a "normal" life thereafter?! Common feelings are guilt, shame, and continued fear; common behaviours are escape, addictions, perfectionism, inability to manage emotions or deal with certain people ... oh so many! And while you have been harmed, you have not been broken. Let's start putting you back together by processing those events and feelings, reprogramming your brain to think differently about yourself, and learning how to live your life differently, free from the demons of the past.

Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RCC, RTC
When the nervous system is chronically overactivated because of trauma, it can feel like your mind has become programmed to constantly react to danger. Even if you know the danger has past, the body and nervous system may need more convincing. Together in counselling, we’ll work to process trauma, reduce the impact of triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and balance. Using techniques like EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy, and hypnotherapy, we’ll focus on building nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and empowering you to move forward with greater peace.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Trauma counselling here goes at the pace your nervous system can tolerate — trauma's effects are what your system learned to do for protection, and those mechanisms often linger long after the threat has passed, leaving people unable to rest even when nothing is wrong, or unsafe in their own body. I work with both single-event trauma and the kind that accumulates over a childhood, a relationship, or years of discrimination, and the pacing is the same either way: stability first, then slowly stepping into what feels safe at your own pace. Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, so somatic work — attention to breath, tension, and what your nervous system is doing in the room — is part of how I work, and I check in constantly about pace so you never have to touch anything you don't want to. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, so if you've tried trauma therapy that pushed too hard too fast, or want to do this work with someone who understands the queer and trans context it happened in, that's what I offer — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video and for trauma work I recommend starting weekly or every other week; during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.
