Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you long after the experience has ended. Therapy can help you gently explore the ways your mind, body, and nervous system have adapted to survive while creating space for healing, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of safety, connection, and choice.

Victoria Counselling Centre
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma affects more than just your memories. It can live in the body, shape your emotions, and influence the way you move through the world. Whether your trauma is the result of a single event or a series of experiences over time, healing is possible. We offer trauma therapy that honours your story, your pace, and your path to recovery. We understand that trauma looks and feels different for everyone. It might show up as anxiety, fear, numbness, emotional overwhelm, or even physical pain. You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t explain. Whatever you’re carrying, our experienced therapists are here to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin healing on your own terms.

PTSD/Trauma
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Trauma can show up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, feeling shutdown, difficulty trusting yourself or others, numbness, hypervigilance, or feeling stuck in patterns that seem rooted in the past. I focus on working with CPTSD, complex and developmental trauma, including childhood and relational trauma, rather than acute single-incident trauma such as recent accidents or medical emergencies. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of trauma responses. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports safety in your body, integration of painful experiences, and movement toward greater freedom and wholeness.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Flashbacks that pull you out of the present, feeling on guard even when nothing's wrong, memories that still feel too close no matter how much time has passed — trauma can leave you stuck in survival mode long after the danger is gone. Using EMDR, I gently help you process distressing memories that feel overwhelming or "stuck," so your brain can reframe these experiences instead of letting them keep dominating your thoughts, emotions, or reactions. Clients often notice fewer triggers, greater emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of safety, control, and resilience in everyday life.

PTSD/Trauma
Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Trauma can affect nearly every part of your life, from how safe you feel in the world to how you experience emotions, relate to others, and see yourself. Flashbacks, body memories, nightmares, and hypervigilance can leave you feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge. You might struggle to relax, feel hijacked by emotions or physical sensations, find that the past keeps intruding on the present, or feel emotionally numb, disconnected, or unable to feel much of anything. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you process traumatic experiences and work through the emotions and body responses that remain. Therapy is collaborative and paced to your needs, with the goal of helping you feel safer in yourself, experience greater emotional freedom, and have more room for connection, enjoyment, and the life you want to live.
