Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, triggered, or disconnected from your body or emotions? Many people who have experienced trauma learn to protect themselves by avoiding feelings, situations, or memories that feel unsafe. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness.
These reactions are not weaknesses—they are protective responses that once helped you survive. What matters is how we process them now. Together, we can safely explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop ways to feel more grounded, empowered, and lighter over time. You survived for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are you struggling with the effects of current or past trauma?
Trauma can affect far more than our memories. You may be experiencing shame, guilt, or a sense of worthlessness; difficulty concentrating or remembering things; nightmares or disrupted sleep; increased anxiety, panic, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from your future. You may also find yourself wondering why certain experiences continue to affect you—or feeling fearful or uncertain about what may have happened to you.
Perhaps you’ve been doing your best to cope, but the strategies that once helped no longer seem to be working. You may feel exhausted, frustrated, or even desperate for things to feel different.
Traumatic experiences can overwhelm our ability to cope and leave the mind and body feeling as though they need to stay on high alert. When our fundamental needs for safety, connection, protection, or control are disrupted, the nervous system can keep responding as though the threat is still present—even when we are safe in the present.
You are not broken. Your responses may be understandable adaptations to experiences that were difficult, overwhelming, or beyond your ability to process at the time.
As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I use EMDR as part of an integrative, trauma-informed approach to help process distressing experiences and memories that may continue to influence how you think, feel, and respond today. We’ll work collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable, while also developing practical ways to respond to difficult emotions, thoughts, and body sensations with greater flexibility and self-compassion.
The goal isn’t to erase what happened or force yourself to move on. It’s about helping your mind and body recognize that the experience is in the past, reducing the intensity of responses that no longer serve you, and creating more freedom in how you respond to the present.
There is hope for things to feel different. You don’t have to navigate the aftermath of trauma alone. Together, we can work toward greater safety within yourself, a stronger sense of self, and the freedom to move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and authentically your own.

Amy Moroz
Psychologist, M.Ed.C.Psych. Clinical & Counselling Psychologist
help people under chronic stress—especially those with trauma histories—learn to pause, regroup, and respond more intentionally. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by work, caregiving, or emotional patterns that won’t let up, I bring a grounding presence and use a combination of mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). My approach supports you in building nervous system resilience, challenging stuck beliefs, and moving from survival mode into a calmer, more values-based way of living.
Please note, I support WSIB clients, including first responders and healthcare professionals, who are navigating occupational trauma, burnout, and return-to-work stress. Using a tailored mix of Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I help clients process what they've been through, regulate their nervous systems, and move forward with clarity and strength. My approach honours your lived experience while building practical tools for sustainable recovery.
