Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Trauma-Informed Clinical CounsellorIf traditional talk therapy has left you feeling stuck or looping through the same old patterns, your nervous system might be holding onto stress that words alone can't reach. As an MPCC-Provisional counsellor practicing under qualified clinical supervision, I offer a mindful, trauma-informed approach to therapy that focuses on nervous system regulation, CBT, and deep mind-body awareness. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, burnout, and the physical weight of long-standing trauma.Rather than relying solely on traditional talk therapy, my practice integrates Brainspotting (BSP) and somatic resources. Brainspotting is a gentle, deeply effective "bottom-up" modality based on the principle that “where you look affects how you feel.” By using your visual field, we can locate, process, and release deep-seated stress exactly where it lives in the brain and body. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space designed to help your nervous system safely untangle trauma and return to balance—all in manageable, bite-sized pieces and at your own pace.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma is not what happened to us but how our nervous system responded to it. With my clients I work through trauma from a holistic perspective that includes somatic, emotional and spiritual work. Processing our trauma in a safe, non judgemental space allows us to live more integrated and fulfilled lives.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work, or getting out of bed, may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred.
In therapy, we go through various stages of trauma work that help clients regain safety and wellbeing. Through experiential exercises clients have the opportunity to re-tell their story in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I also offer multiple techniques that alleviate anxiety and help "put the brakes on" in case trauma work becomes too overwhelming.
Once clients have strategies to cope with their trauma symptoms, which may include sadness, anger, and/or dissociation, they often experience renewed hope for the future. Additionally, I help clients gain insight into their internal experiences through psychoeducation on the relationship between trauma responses and brain activity.

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.
