PTSD/Trauma
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma doesn't stay in the past; it lives in the body, in the nightmares and flashbacks, in the hypervigilance that never lets you fully rest, in the numbness that keeps everyone at arm's length. What happened to you was not your fault, and how you've survived makes sense. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here where safety and trust come first, always, and where we move only at your pace. Drawing on approaches like EMDR, the goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to help your mind and body finally understand the danger has passed, so you can genuinely reconnect with yourself and the people you love. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, safer in your own skin, and more equipped to live fully in the present.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
work with complex trauma through the lens of NARM, the NeuroAffective Relational Model. NARM understands trauma not as a single event but as the way early relational environments shaped your relationship to yourself, your needs, your boundaries, and your capacity for connection. We work with what is alive in you right now, the patterns your nervous system is still running, rather than asking you to retell or relive the past. This is present-focused, body-informed, and relational at its core.

St. John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and one of North America's oldest cities, perched on the Atlantic coast with a distinct cultural identity—Newfoundland's unique vernacular, music, and social traditions are a strong source of community pride and solidarity that provides genuine protective factors against isolation. The mental health landscape is shaped by the boom-and-bust character of the offshore oil industry that employs many residents, the generational grief from the cod fishery's collapse in 1992, and the seasonal affective challenges of a city known for fog, overcast skies, and long Atlantic winters. Memorial University's medical school contributes to the health workforce, and mental health services are provided through NL Health Services. Common therapy concerns include FIFO oil industry stress and relationship strain, economic anxiety tied to energy sector volatility, seasonal depression, and the grief of a community carrying significant intergenerational loss from the collapse of the fishery.
