PTSD/Trauma
Rob Pepper
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Counselling Therapist (Nova Scotia), B.Ed, M.ACP, RCT
Guilt and shame are blockers that prevent the person from feeling their emotional world. We are not what happened to us, but rather what we choose to become.

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.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but trying to disentangle and confronting your feelings and getting professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD. Traumata can also be micro-traumata that we need to make sense of.

PTSD/Trauma
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Healing from trauma requires more than just talking about the past; it requires helping your nervous system feel safe in the present. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field, I have developed a specialized focus on childhood trauma and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). I understand how early relationship wounds can leave 'parts' of you stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed.
My approach is gentle, paced, and focused on your safety. We move beyond simple symptom management to address the deep-seated patterns formed in childhood. By combining my extensive clinical background with a compassionate, relational lens, I help you unburden these protective parts and move from a state of constant hyper-vigilance toward a life of genuine internal peace and resilience.
