Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I support clients who have experienced trauma or are living with PTSD by using EMDR to gently process distressing memories that may still feel overwhelming or “stuck.” This therapy helps your brain reframe these experiences so they no longer dominate your thoughts, emotions, or reactions. Through EMDR, clients often notice reduced triggers, increased emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of safety, control, and resilience in their everyday lives.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Trauma counselling here goes at the pace your nervous system can tolerate — trauma's effects are what your system learned to do for protection, and those mechanisms often linger long after the threat has passed, leaving people unable to rest even when nothing is wrong, or unsafe in their own body. I work with both single-event trauma and the kind that accumulates over a childhood, a relationship, or years of discrimination, and the pacing is the same either way: stability first, then slowly stepping into what feels safe at your own pace. Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, so somatic work — attention to breath, tension, and what your nervous system is doing in the room — is part of how I work, and I check in constantly about pace so you never have to touch anything you don't want to. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, so if you've tried trauma therapy that pushed too hard too fast, or want to do this work with someone who understands the queer and trans context it happened in, that's what I offer — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video and for trauma work I recommend starting weekly or every other week; during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

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.
