Trauma and PTSD
Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness | Holistic Wellbeing |
Counsellor/Therapist, | Wellness and Life Coach | Somatic Practitioner | Healing Arts | Mentor |
Trauma comes in many different shapes and sizes. Often times we don't even know it is there until it gets activated and shows in the nervous system. 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.

Healing from trauma is a complex and deeply personal process, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Sophia Kopelow
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
I define trauma as anything that overwhelms our nervous system's ability to cope. It's not only about the event or experience itself, but about how one perceives it. Those with a highly sensitive nervous system will likely be more impacted, and I'm passionate about empowering clients to feel more whole, integrated and accepting of themselves. My trauma- informed approach involves prioritizing safety and trust by allowing clients to have full autonomy and collaborate in the therapeutic process. I use EMDR therapy to help reprocess traumatic memories that might be keeping you stuck, and integrate a mixture of cognitive and somatic approaches to help you heal. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

Trauma and PTSD
Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body and mind—showing up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or a sense of being “stuck” in old patterns. In therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe, helping you reconnect with a sense of stability and self-trust. My approach draws on nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and attachment awareness to support healing that’s both gentle and lasting—so you can begin to feel more grounded, present, and whole.

Trauma and PTSD
Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Many, if not most of us have experienced trauma at some point in our lives. Traumas may be very significant events such as sexual abuse, natural disasters, car accidents, loss of a loved one etc. Or traumas can be what we might consider less signifiant events in our lives such as being embarrassed or humiliated or emotional abuse from another person. Although we usually try to do our best to overcome the effects of these experiences on our own, sometimes unresolved trauma can lead to greater difficulties and create parts of ourselves that get 'stuck' leaving us unable to move past the memories and related physiological sensations. Perhaps you are anxious and fearful of certain people, places or situations, or maybe you just always feel 'on edge', and unable to truly relax and feel safe. Maybe you have intrusive thoughts or images that just won't stop. Some people, especially those with PTSD may have flashbacks and nightmares stemming from the traumatic memories. Others often experience muscle tension or chronic pain that may also be related to the trauma(s) experienced, but they have not yet been able to fully process and resolve these experiences. If any of these stress response symptoms sound familiar to you, or if you have experienced trauma in your life and want to be supported as you work through those difficult memories and the places you may find yourself 'stuck', I will do my best to help you find some relief so you can enjoy an improved quality of life.

I know it feels scary to face the past but I can help you move through it slowly and safely. I am a sensitive person too, so I can help you gently move forward in a way that feels safe for you.

Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy

Understanding our relationship with trauma is one of the keys to developing preferred narratives in our lives. Getting to know how it influences you and those around you. Exploring what tricks and tools you have in standing up to the trauma and its triggers as a way to develop an alternative path. Looking after our wounded selves and even carrying the scars with pride as definite act of compassion and power.

Trauma and PTSD
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
I use internal famoky systems therapy to help people heal trauma. This is an empirically validated approach to help not just with trauma but also a number of other mental health struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and self-worth. It helps people heal by connected to and experiencing ones true self. This is a very experiential approach that is provides people with the space to do deep healing work.

Anna MacGillivray

The aftermath of trauma can express itself in our lives in many ways. Trauma healing helps to create awareness of coping strategies and to relax the nervous system. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to help come back to the body and to heal.
