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.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Trauma is probably the most overused concept in psychotherapy. To work with trauma, we have to differentiate between everyday normal dissatisfactions in life and profound experience of helplessness, loneliness, fear, and stress caused by a traumatic experience. PTSD is a creative, but often unhealthy, way to cope with trauma that should be acknowledged and experienced in a supportive environment for a healthy processing of the trauma that can lead to post-traumatic growth. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Trauma-informed therapy, and somatic approaches, where appropriately trained and indicated.
I prioritize stabilization and emotional safety before trauma processing. Therapy may include grounding, nervous-system regulation, understanding protective responses, and gradually processing traumatic memories when the client is ready. The pace is determined collaboratively rather than forcing disclosure or processing.

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.

Trauma can shape how you see yourself, others, and the world—and it can stick around in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming. If you’re feeling on edge, shut down, or stuck in the past, you’re not alone. I offer a supportive space to make sense of what you’ve been through and take steps toward feeling safer, stronger, and more like yourself again.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the 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, AMD, 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.
