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.

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.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
Trauma can continue to shape how we feel, relate to others, and experience ourselves long after the original experiences have passed. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to explore these patterns at a pace that feels manageable. Our work may include nervous-system awareness, mindfulness, parts-based and experiential approaches, and clinical hypnotherapy when appropriate, with the aim of helping you feel safer, more connected to yourself, and more able to move forward.

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.
