Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, 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.

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.
