New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
What if I said that what happened was not your fault, that people can be trusted, and that there's nothing wrong with you?
What if I told you that you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, that you can let go of feeling on edge and hypervigilant?
What if you knew that the only reason you are suspicious, that decisions are hard to make, and that you find it hard to connect with and trust others is because your trauma shook your sense of self, the people around you, and the word more generally?
What if I said that you don't have to live the rest of your life haunted by memories and flashbacks of the worst days of your life? That you don't have to keep distracting yourself? That you're not "too broken or beyond fixing" and that there IS hope?
Trauma and PTSD change the way we think, feel, and behave in many ways but the good news is that these are treatable conditions. There are evidence-based approaches (well research strategies) that can help you rise from your experience(s), release the past into the past, and claim the life you've always wanted.
At New Moon Psychotherapy Trauma is our specialty. We are a team of registered psychotherapists and social workers who specialize in treating post-traumatic stress and related difficulties such as CPTSD, PTSD, addiction/substance Use, self-injury and suicide ideation, emotion dysregulation, perfectionism, anxiety and depression. We work extensively with survivors of sexual violence and criminal victimization (robbery, assault, car jacking, shootings, etc.) as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, natural disasters, bullying, war and near death experiences.
We are committed to using evidence-based approaches - the ones that have been test and tried for the very difficulties that you're experiencing including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy. We offer trauma focused individual, couples, family, and group therapy. We love what we do and stay current through ongoing training and consultation.
Interested in finding relief from trauma symptoms but don't think you can commit to long-term therapy? Our 4-week group focused on Finding Calm in the Body can teach you to calm the nervous system which would bring down intense emotions, hypervigilance, and help you improve sleep and manage flashbacks and body memories. It's an affordable alternative to individual therapy.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.
* * * If you decide not to go with our clinic, please ensure that your therapist is trained in EVIDENCE-BASED Psychotherapies for trauma - this will be the difference between months and years of therapy * * *

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Trauma reshapes how the nervous system understands safety, and it doesn't always look like flashbacks. I work with clients carrying complex relational trauma, single-incident PTSD, and the particular weight that accumulates in first responder work, where there's often no space to process what's been witnessed and an expectation to keep moving. Whether the trauma is layered over years or tied to specific events, we work at a pace that doesn't outrun your capacity to stay present.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Our traumatic experiences are survival responses that can become embedded in our bodies, brains, and nervous systems impacting our lives long after the original trauma was experienced. How these trauma experiences were responded to (or not responded to originally) can also profoundly inform the ongoing experience of living with trauma. My approach unites techniques from leading, evidence-based methods including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness and psychodynamic psychotherapy to address overwhelming emotions like shame, anger, anxiety, fear, and depression.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Healing from trauma and PTSD involves safely processing overwhelming past experiences so they no longer dictate your present emotional and physiological responses. Through specialized therapeutic support, individuals can gradually rewire the brain's threat response, reduce distressing flashbacks, and restore a sense of safety within their own bodies. If you're looking for support with overcoming trauma and PTSD please don't hesitate to reach out.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
When navigating the deep impacts of trauma and PTSD, your nervous system remains organized around survival, making the present moment feel perpetually unsafe. My Vancouver-based virtual practice approaches trauma not as a cognitive problem to be quickly "fixed," but as an embodied experience that requires slow, relational attunement. By gently listening to the protective states of your nervous system, I support you in processing stored distress and shifting out of chronic survival mode at a pace your body actually trusts.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
Trauma - whether relational, developmental, or intergenerational - can shape how you know yourself, your body, and your relationships. It may show up as anxiety (persistent ungrounded excitation in your body), overwhelm (too much, too fast), dissociation (I have to leave in order to stay in this situation), difficulty trusting, or feeling disconnected from yourself and/or others. At one time, any one of these responses was the way you learned how to survive an intolerable situation. Without support to contain and integrate, these brilliant, adaptive, creative adjustments to the original experience can persist long after the original event/situation. In our work together, we take an embodied, relational approach, exploring how these patterns live in your present-moment experience: in your sensations, emotions, thoughts, and ways of relating. I want you to know that I have too much respect for your creative adaptations to propose trying to "fix," get rid of, or push through what you’re feeling. These ways have kept you intact for a long time - to remove them before understanding their purpose would be too risky. Instead, we move at your pace, building awareness and support so you can stay connected to yourself securely in the here and now (I’m moving beside you throughout this process). The good news is always this: you survived. You're here now. This process honours the ways your responses once protected you, while creating space for integration, self-trust, and new possibilities for connection, choice, and a more expanded sense of who you are.
