Registered Social Worker, B.A., Psych, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that affects our mental health. It is characterized by PTSD symptoms that begin after a specific traumatic event or a build-up of trauma over time. This traumatic event or general trauma is often replayed repeatedly in the person's mind, making it appear as if they are continually experiencing this event. This results in the fears and stress associated with the trauma being continually reactivated in the body and mind.
The key to a diagnosis of PTSD is that this trauma, whether experiencing it or witnessing it, leads to debilitating anxiety symptoms that impact one’s ability to function on a day-to-day basis.

Trauma is an event or experience that is deeply distressing or upsetting, and can have long-lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, combat, sexual assault, or a car accident.
PTSD can cause a range of symptoms, including intrusive thoughts and memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, and negative changes in mood and cognition. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and relationships, and may lead to other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
Effective treatments for PTSD include psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and medication. Trauma-focused therapy can help individuals process their traumatic experiences, develop coping skills, and reduce symptoms of PTSD. If you or a loved one is struggling with the effects of trauma or PTSD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma doesn't stay in the past; it lives in the body, in the nightmares and flashbacks, in the hypervigilance that never lets you fully rest, in the numbness that keeps everyone at arm's length. What happened to you was not your fault, and how you've survived makes sense. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here where safety and trust come first, always, and where we move only at your pace. Drawing on approaches like EMDR, the goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to help your mind and body finally understand the danger has passed, so you can genuinely reconnect with yourself and the people you love. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, safer in your own skin, and more equipped to live fully in the present.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although PTSD is usually associated with soldiers returning from war, it covers a significantly wider population. This is because PTSD is a pervasive mental illness that is typically brought on by the experience (or witnessing) of trauma associated with death, threat of death, serious injury, sexual violence, etc. Traumatic events are typically unexpected, and the sufferer can often feel powerless to stop or change the event.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Trauma and PTSD can have a profound impact on mental health, leaving individuals feeling stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, and emotional distress. Whether stemming from past abuse, accidents, or other life events, trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, and day-to-day functioning. Through solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), survivors can begin to heal, process their experiences, and rebuild their lives. Therapy helps individuals regain a sense of safety, learn coping strategies for managing triggers, and reclaim control over their emotional well-being. Healing from trauma is possible, and therapy offers a path to restoration, resilience, and empowerment in moving forward.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave lasting effects even long after the event is over. You might find yourself feeling constantly on edge, emotionally numb, easily triggered, or stuck in patterns that you know are connected to something deeper. Whether it’s a single traumatic event or years of ongoing trauma, your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you, but now, you're ready to start healing.
In therapy, we create a safe and supportive space to help you process your experiences at your own pace. We’ll work together to reduce the intensity of symptoms, rebuild your sense of safety, and help you feel more in control of your body, emotions, and life. Our approach is always trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to what feels manageable for you.
You don’t have to keep reliving the past. Healing is possible, and you deserve it.
