Trauma and PTSD
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.

I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based approach. EMDR helps process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity associated with trauma, allowing clients to move forward with their lives. Whether you’re dealing with past abuse, accidents, or other traumatic experiences, I work with you to gently guide the healing process, helping you reframe painful memories and alleviate symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, or emotional numbness. My goal is to help you regain a sense of control, peace, and emotional resilience.

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.

Trauma and PTSD
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Do you find yourself dealing with current or past trauma? Experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness, no thoughts or feelings about your future or poor concentration and memory, nightmares or sleeplessness, increased anxiety or episodes of panic - and curious or fearful of what may have happened to you?
I can relate to what you are struggling with and understand how hard it can be to cope with these issues, including the desperation you might feel that current coping strategies aren't working.
I am here for you. I understand that traumatic events or experiences (even indirect ones) can overwhelm your ability to cope, adding to the sense of powerlessness, frustration and lack of control. As humans, we have a fundamental need to feel safe, protected and loved - and when our world is turned upside down, and those basic needs are unmet, we do our best to restore some balance, an innate biological response of survival mode.
There is hope. Together we will develop flexible ways to manage this survival response and work towards resolving trauma using an integrative approach and a compassionate lens. It takes work to override that protection autopilot, but if you are ready for a change in your life (or even curious), I am willing to roll up my sleeves, get in the trenches and work alongside you. You deserve to experience freedom, peace and joy and live a rich and meaningful life.

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with a largely White, upper-middle-class population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighborhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
