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.

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.

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.

Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
When someone has experienced a traumatic event or series of events, the resulting impact can influence many areas of their life (e.g. work, relationships, self-esteem, etc.) and overwhelm their ability to cope.
The fall-out of trauma can take many forms including confusion, negative self-image, shame, guilt, anger, deep sadness, grief, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation/ loneliness, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, as well as physical challenges.
Not all negative past experiences announce themselves as "trauma." Sometimes they show up as feeling disconnected from your body, difficulty with intimacy, or patterns that don't quite make sense. Whether it's sexual abuse, sexual assault, childhood neglect, or other overwhelming experiences, you don't need to have named it as trauma to benefit from this work.
Complex trauma—especially sexual trauma—often lives in the body long after the mind thinks it has "moved on." This work focuses on helping you reclaim parts of yourself that may have been shut down or protected for good reason. We go at your pace to process experiences that may still be influencing how you move through the world.
I work with clients who present as high-functioning but feel stuck, numb, tense, or disconnected in ways they can’t fully explain. The goal is to help you feel safe and connected in your own skin again, to trust your instincts, and to engage in life from a place of choice rather than protection. You deserve to feel whole and present in your own life.
**I’m an approved provider for the Crime Victim Assistance Program, the Residential Historical Abuse Program, and Survivors of Residential Schools. My approach is steady, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you reclaim safety, capacity, and a sense of self that feels whole and trustworthy.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Trauma can leave the nervous system in a state of vigilance, overwhelm, or shutdown, making everyday life feel unpredictable or exhausting. In my work with trauma and PTSD, I use a gentle, integrative approach that includes somatic therapies, mindfulness, parts work (IFS), neuropsychology, CBT, and narrative processing. Together, we help your body and mind reconnect, reduce reactivity, and build the capacity to feel safe inside yourself again. My focus is on strengthening self‑regulation, healing protective parts, and supporting you in reclaiming a sense of agency, steadiness, and inner coherence after overwhelming experiences.

Rose laure Agbazan
Hypnotherapist, Clinical hypnotherapist, Clinical Aromatherapist CAHP
When your body still reacts as if the past is happening now, it’s not weakness — it’s protection. Trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in memory. Our sessions move slowly and safely, prioritizing consent and regulation. Together we rebuild inner safety, restore self-trust, and help your system learn that the danger has passed.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Trauma does not always live as a story we can simply think or talk our way through. It can show up in the nervous system and body as anxiety, tension, overwhelm, shutdown, disconnection, or reactions that do not fit. Trauma comes in many different shapes and sizes. Often times we don't even know it is there until it gets activated and shows up in the body, mind or heart. Our nervous system (NS) is keeper of all things, and by working with the NS we can dive deep into the origins of this stored remembering of life's event and experiences. As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner I work gently with the NS while also exploring the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and energetic aspects of your experience. Together, we create a space for what your system has been holding or carrying and support greater regulation, resilience, connection, and choice.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you—it’s also about what your mind and body had to do to survive. You may find yourself stuck in patterns of avoidance, shutdown, overreactivity, or people-pleasing, and wonder why you can’t “just move on.” That’s because trauma imprints itself deep in the nervous system and in implicit emotional memory—parts of the brain that don’t respond to logic or willpower alone. In therapy, we won’t just talk about your trauma; we’ll gently engage the parts of you still holding onto it. Using experiential approaches and memory reconsolidation, we create the conditions for those painful emotional learnings to be updated, so your system no longer reacts as if the past is still happening. With compassion and care, we’ll work toward healing that feels real and lasting—not just managed.
