Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, CTP, CSTS
Trauma can impact how you relate to yourself, others, emotions, safety, and the world around you. I recognize the vulnerability and courage involved in turning toward painful experiences and the protective patterns that may have developed in response to them. Therapy can become a compassionate and grounded space to explore these experiences with greater safety, self-understanding, and support while moving toward healing, authenticity, and meaningful change.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist, I integrate an understanding of the emotional, relational, and nervous system impacts of trauma while tailoring therapy to your unique experiences, strengths, needs, and pace.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Trauma can impact every aspect of our lives, and you deserve time and care to release and re-ground. Whether you're needing support unravelling difficult thoughts, feelings, or memories, or wanting to process painful experiences, I'm here to slowly, safely walk through them with you. Sometimes talking through our experiences is helpful, sometimes tuning into our bodies and nervous systems is what's needed instead. I'll meet you where you're at to support your unique journey, with various ways of exploring and healing trauma.

As someone who has experienced cPTSD, this is very close to my heart and I have been using hypnotherapy to deal with trauma a lot and the results are really great. Overall, I practice psychology with a holistic perspective, focusing on the whole person, heart, mind, body, and soul.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body and mind—showing up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or a sense of being “stuck” in old patterns. In therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, helping you reconnect with a sense of stability and self-trust. My approach draws on nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and attachment awareness to support healing that’s both gentle and lasting—so you can begin to feel more grounded, present, and whole.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
I define trauma as anything that overwhelms our nervous system's ability to cope. It's not only about the event or experience itself, but about how one perceives it. Those with a highly sensitive nervous system will likely be more impacted, and I'm passionate about empowering clients to feel more whole, integrated and accepting of themselves. My trauma- informed approach involves prioritizing safety and trust by allowing clients to have full autonomy and collaborate in the therapeutic process. I use EMDR therapy to help reprocess traumatic memories that might be keeping you stuck, and integrate a mixture of cognitive and somatic approaches to help you heal. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Experiences of trauma and PTSD can have a lasting impact on how you feel in your body, your emotions, and your sense of safety in the world. You might notice symptoms such as flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, anxiety, or feeling easily overwhelmed or triggered. Trauma can also affect relationships, self-trust, and the ability to feel present or grounded in daily life.
In our work together, we’ll prioritize safety and choice at every step. Rather than pushing into distressing material too quickly, we’ll first focus on building stability, grounding, and resources to support your nervous system. When appropriate, we will gently process traumatic experiences in a way that feels contained and manageable, always guided by your readiness and capacity.
I draw from approaches such as EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. EMDR can be especially helpful in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, while other approaches support regulation, self-compassion, and reconnection to self and body. Together, we’ll work toward a greater sense of safety, integration, and ease in your daily life.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
