PTSD/Trauma
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can be a transformative tool for healing from trauma and PTSD, offering a safe, nonverbal space to process deeply-held emotions and experiences. Through creative expression, you can externalize and make sense of painful memories, gain insight into the underlying patterns, and reconnect with your inner strength. My approach integrates mindfulness, body-based practices, and trauma-informed care, supporting you in staying grounded and present throughout the process. Drawing from my experience with ecotherapy, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and spiritual practices, I guide you in uncovering and transforming limiting beliefs, restoring a sense of control, and fostering resilience as you move forward in your journey toward healing and empowerment.

PTSD/Trauma
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma and PTSD are my areas of specialization. Trauma may encompass a wide range of human experience and its negative impact on our lives is at times very clear to us and at other times goes unnoticed yet prevents us from living the lives we desire. I employ evidence based approaches recognized by the World Health Organization as being the gold standards due to their proven success. This includes both talk therapy approaches as well as the non-talk therapy of EMDR. My approach is integrative and holistic.

PTSD/Trauma
Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Past and recent painful life experiences such as adverse childhood experiences, domestic abuse,
intergenerational, racial trauma, accidents or any other distressing or disturbing events can cause psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma, often resulting in unfavorable behaviors and strategies, called coping mechanisms, to manage the emotional stress and pain. Unresolved trauma damages a person’s sense of safety, self-evaluation, as well as their ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships with self and others. By concentrating on what’s happening in your body, you can get in touch with trauma-related energy and tension, and your natural survival instincts will take over, safely releasing pent-up energy through shaking, crying, and other forms of physical and emotional release.
