Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
As a therapist with extensive experience working with vulnerable populations, including refugees, I understand the lasting effects of trauma on mental health. My trauma-focused approach combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process their experiences and reclaim their lives. With empathy and cultural sensitivity, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can heal and rebuild resilience.

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?

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Trauma therapy and PTSD treatment provide trauma-informed care for adults processing past experiences that continue to shape how they feel safe, trust others, or regulate emotion today. My approach honours the nervous system's role in trauma and moves at a pace that respects each client's readiness.
