PTSD/Trauma
Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Trauma can affect the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Whether your experiences stem from childhood trauma, difficult relationships, a single overwhelming event, or ongoing adversity, you may find yourself feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, or disconnection. I offer a compassionate space to explore the impact of these experiences and the ways they continue to shape your life. Together, we'll work to process trauma, build resilience, and create a greater sense of safety, connection, and well-being.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.
