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.

PTSD/Trauma
Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
We all have experienced negative events but not necessarily trauma. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

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.

Stephanie Campoli
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Healing from trauma takes time and care. I use trauma-focused therapies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and DBT skills training to help build stability, process painful experiences, and create space for healing and growth at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

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.
