Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave deep imprints on both the body and mind, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. You may find yourself reliving painful memories, feeling on edge, or struggling to trust safety again. Through EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, we’ll work to gently process what’s been overwhelming so that you can begin to feel grounded, connected, and whole again. Healing is possible-and you don’t have to do it alone.

Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Trauma and PTSD is more widespread than was previously believed. It is often disbelieved. Often you will blame yourself. I will help you understand what happened and what it did to you. Together we will help you to come to a place of understanding and compassion. We will also help you gain the resources to strengthen this wounded part.

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.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, trauma is what happens when we are unable to cope with the things that happen to us, at no fault of our own. We can understand trauma as being a lack of resources to deal with situations, not a lack of ability, character or willpower. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your trauma, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and processing it so that you can be free of the ways that your past is showing up in your present.

We work together at a pace that is comfortable for you and I check-in regularly to ensure that you continue to feel safe and supported. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist specializing in trauma resolution through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can process past experiences, reduce the impact of trauma, and regain a sense of emotional balance.
I work with clients to identify and reprocess distressing memories, release unhelpful beliefs and coping patterns, and cultivate healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I also support clients in strengthening communication, building confidence in parenting and relationships, and approaching life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and self-compassion.
My goal is to help clients move beyond the effects of trauma toward lives that are meaningful, empowered, and deeply connected—rooted in self-trust, resilience, and the capacity for joy and authentic relationships.

Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
Trauma changes us. Hypervigilence, increased anxiety, substance use, avoiding triggers and situations. This becomes the unconscious way we cope. You are doing the best you can. Let's talk about how mindfulness and self compassion can support healing.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the centre of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
