Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Dissociation can be a way the mind copes with overwhelming trauma, including experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other forms of severe stress. You might notice feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or even your body, sometimes experiencing memory gaps, “zoning out,” or feeling like an observer in your own life.
In therapy, I provide a safe and grounding space to explore these experiences, understand the connection between trauma and dissociation, and develop strategies to feel more present, integrated, and in control. The goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Dissociation can be a coping mechanism for trauma, but it can also lead to disconnection from emotions, memories, and identity. I provide a grounded, safe space where clients can explore their experiences, reconnect with their sense of self, and develop emotional stability using somatic therapy, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Trauma-informed, grounding, and somatic approaches.
I prioritize emotional and physical safety before processing difficult experiences. Therapy may focus on grounding, present-moment awareness, understanding protective responses, and increasing internal awareness. More complex dissociative presentations may require specialized trauma treatment.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Dissociation as a protective, adaptive response to trauma rather than a conscious choice. When emotions are suppressed or invalidated, especially in childhood, the mind may disengage to maintain safety. I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, explore their emotions, and be curious and compassionate to reintegrate the self.
