Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RPq
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy:
EMDR is a structured/manualized psychotherapy for people who have experienced trauma(s) in their life. It is different from talk therapy because the therapist uses specific detailed protocols and procedures such as the eight phases of treatment in EMDR. You do not need to know what this all means right now. Trust that there is a road map and plan to facilitate healing. There is less focus on therapist talk/interpretations. There is less focus on you speaking about trauma at depth. The progress gained is from your enhanced psychological processing. EMDR incorporates eye movements, tapping techniques, and other methods to unblock an imbalance in the brain’s information processing system. EMDR provides relief from symptoms and emotional distress as a result of trauma(s) (e.g., reducing intensity of PTSD symptoms and trauma related memories). The EMDR therapy process facilitates natural healing processes of the mind and removes blocks to healing.

Bethany Rooker
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
While I specialize in eating disorder and body image counselling, I often work with clients to heal painful areas of trauma in their lives. I believe the core of trauma healing comes from safe and supportive relationships. I am committed to creating a safe space for my clients to process their past, develop new coping skills, and work towards building a strong and confident future.
