Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Being stuck with memories and emotions from traumatic events can really hold people back from engaging in a rich and meaningful life. Trauma comes in many forms and is any thing that negatively impacts on someones sense of well being. I am trained in many forms of therapy that can be used to reduce the impact of trauma and PTSD and have worked with first responders, veterans, people from violent families, people who were bullied and many other forms of trauma.

Lisa Koole Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., R.P., GAIN-RHNP
Trauma can stay in the body long after the event is over, showing up as feeling on edge, shutting down, sudden anger, nightmares, or a sense that you are not quite present in your own life. Some clients come to therapy with a single traumatic event or PTSD, while others carry the slower weight of difficult childhood experiences or years of chronic stress. My trauma therapy is paced carefully, with safety and stability first. I draw on trauma-focused CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and somatic approaches informed by my training with Dr. Peter Levine to help your nervous system settle and loosen the hold of painful memories. You stay in charge of what we explore and when. I offer online therapy across Ontario and in-person sessions in Guelph.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma is a normal reaction to adverse life events. If you are suffering with feelings of anxiety or dread, low energy, or low mood, you may be dealing with the after-effects of trauma. Trauma is often accompanied by nightmares or flashbacks. Any of these symptoms are hard to deal with and can cause additional problems like poor sleep, poor memory and focus, and difficulty making decisions. Even everyday tasks can feel like a major undertaking when you are struggling with these symptoms. If your life feels harder than it should, please reach out to us for a free consultation to talk about treatments and strategies to address these issues. We are here to discuss your unique situation and find a plan personalized for you and your needs.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma can profoundly impact life, often in ways that are deeply embedded and not immediately apparent. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we address trauma using an evidence-based, phased approach that is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed, recognizing the unique journey each individual faces in their healing.
Our therapy sessions are structured to navigate through the stages of trauma recovery carefully. We begin with establishing safety and stability, ensuring that you feel secure and grounded before delving deeper. This phase is crucial in building a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing you with tools for emotional regulation and coping.
In the next phase, we gently and respectfully approach the process of remembering and mourning. This involves exploring the trauma narrative, validating experiences, and working through the memories and emotions associated with the traumatic events.
The final phase focuses on reconnection and integration. Here, the goal is to help you integrate the traumatic experiences into your life story without them dominating your present or future. We work on building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and fostering a sense of empowerment. This phase is about moving beyond trauma, embracing growth, and looking towards the future with hope and confidence.
Throughout this phased approach, we ensure that each step is taken with care, always respecting your pace and readiness. Our virtual therapy sessions provide a convenient and comfortable space for this important work, ensuring that you have consistent support wherever you are.
Begin your path to healing with Collaborative Care Therapy, where we are committed to guiding you through the complexities of trauma towards a life of greater peace and fulfillment.
