Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives. Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events. Sexual Abuse is absolutely considered traumatic.
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles, offer a safe space for respite and together with you create a custom treatment plan to overcome them.

Sexual Abuse
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Sexual abuse is a profound violation of an individual's autonomy and trust, encompassing any unwanted sexual contact or behavior. It can occur in various contexts and can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Survivors may experience a range of emotional and psychological effects, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and feelings of shame or isolation. It's important to understand that the responsibility for sexual abuse lies solely with the abuser, and survivors are not to blame for what has happened to them. Support from trusted friends, family, or professional counselors can be critical in the healing process. Resources, such as hotlines and support groups, are available to provide guidance and assistance for those affected. Recovery is possible, and reaching out for help is a courageous and vital step toward reclaiming one’s life and well-being.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
