Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

Traumatic experiences can have a lasting impact on you, and we'll work together to help you process what happened and how it's affected you. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused ACT, which both address difficult thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may develop after trauma.

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.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you—it’s also about what your mind and body had to do to survive. You may find yourself stuck in patterns of avoidance, shutdown, overreactivity, or people-pleasing, and wonder why you can’t “just move on.” That’s because trauma imprints itself deep in the nervous system and in implicit emotional memory—parts of the brain that don’t respond to logic or willpower alone. In therapy, we won’t just talk about your trauma; we’ll gently engage the parts of you still holding onto it. Using experiential approaches and memory reconsolidation, we create the conditions for those painful emotional learnings to be updated, so your system no longer reacts as if the past is still happening. With compassion and care, we’ll work toward healing that feels real and lasting—not just managed.

Ashley Berger
Registered Psychotherapist, BEd, MACP, RP
I carry a deep passion for working with clients struggling with trauma and complex PTSD. Trauma changes one’s brain and body, often making it extremely difficult to function. In therapy, we will work to re-map your emotions, brain and body, to help you connect with yourself and the present moment. While it takes time, patience and practice, trauma is treatable, and I am very passionate to support you through the process. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see if I am the proper fit for your journey.

McDowall Integrative Psychology and Healthcare
Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
The primary indicators of PTSD are 1) re-experiencing of the event, through flashbacks, nightmares and distressing memories, 2) avoidance, through numbing the emotions and feeling detached from others, and 3) hypervigilance and a chronic state of anxious arousal. They may feel irritable and have outbursts of anger and may stop participating in activities and relationships that used to bring them happiness before the event. These are natural reactions to the extreme stress they have endured, and continue to endure, and can make life very difficult for the individual and those who love them.
If you or someone you know has experienced a traumatic event, you may recognize some of these symptoms in yourself or your friend/loved one. Take heart, because there is help and there is hope. PTSD is often a chronic condition, but it does not have to be a permanent life sentence. With courage and perseverance, you can overcome your body’s safety mechanisms and protective behaviours and break free of the debilitating cycle of fear, avoidance, pain, and confusion.
How McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare can help you.
At McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare, we take pride in providing our clients with a warm, confidential and safe environment so you will feel open to discuss whatever is on your mind. Making you feel comfortable each and every time you visit is very important to us.
Some stress at work is normal, but if you find yourself under a lot of pressure and this negatively affects other areas of your life such as your social, personal, and physical domains, then you might benefit from our counselling services.
We provide a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can speak to one of our therapists about the issues you are experiencing. We will help you implement some coping strategies or improve your existing ones in order to improve your well-being, not simply during your work day but throughout the long-term. We look forward to working with you through the pressures you are facing and help strengthen your resilience to external and internal contributors of stress.
