PTSD/Trauma
Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Sometimes traumatic past experiences can interfere with our present life, with emotions or reactions that seem too intense for the situation. With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, we may also have memories or images that affect our waking and sleeping life. I have specialized training in EMDR, which helps you process intense past experiences so you can put those emotions and experiences in the past. Internal Family Systems therapy can help you heal the source of the intense emotions and develop a positive relationship to the parts of you that you may feel a struggle with. I work with you to identify your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you, so you can be in charge of your healing.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced trauma, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Carrying the weight of a past traumatic event or living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can make the world feel unpredictable, unsafe, and constantly overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or sudden flashes of fear, trauma keeps the nervous system locked in a loop of survival long after the danger has passed. Healing from trauma is deeply personal, and you never have to walk that path alone. Using a gentle, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach, we will work collaboratively at a pace that feels safe for you to process your experiences, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim a grounded sense of peace, agency, and safety in your body and life.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Trauma-Informed Clinical CounsellorIf traditional talk therapy has left you feeling stuck or looping through the same old patterns, your nervous system might be holding onto stress that words alone can't reach. As an MPCC-Provisional counsellor practicing under qualified clinical supervision, I offer a mindful, trauma-informed approach to therapy that focuses on nervous system regulation, CBT, and deep mind-body awareness. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, burnout, and the physical weight of long-standing trauma.Rather than relying solely on traditional talk therapy, my practice integrates Brainspotting (BSP) and somatic resources. Brainspotting is a gentle, deeply effective "bottom-up" modality based on the principle that “where you look affects how you feel.” By using your visual field, we can locate, process, and release deep-seated stress exactly where it lives in the brain and body. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space designed to help your nervous system safely untangle trauma and return to balance—all in manageable, bite-sized pieces and at your own pace.
