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.

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.

I support clients living with trauma and PTSD by creating a safe space to explore the emotional and relational impact of what they've been through. Through a psychodynamic lens, we gently uncover how past experiences may live on in the body, shape beliefs about safety and self-worth, and influence current relationships. Our work honors your pace and resilience, supporting integration, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of inner stability.

Have you been through something that seems to have shattered you into a million pieces. Do you feel stressed and on edge? Are you cycling between withdrawal and lashing out on others, even loved ones? Do you feel like you are not yourself? Are you isolated and having trouble reaching out to people you would usually reach out to? If so, you may be doing through trauma, and the sudden changes you are feeling are not you or a reflection of you, but of how the body experiences trauma. If you are tired of feeling overwhelmed, and feel like you might be in a better place to deal with what happened or is happening, then please reach out. We work with various traumas across the lifespan such as childhood neglect, emotional and physical abuse, or other personal events that have been devastating and demoralizing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Poly-Vagal theory, and Solution-Focused to meet you where you are.

Contact us directly to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where we can answer your questions. You deserve a peaceful life.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are you struggling with the effects of current or past trauma?
Trauma can affect far more than our memories. You may be experiencing shame, guilt, or a sense of worthlessness; difficulty concentrating or remembering things; nightmares or disrupted sleep; increased anxiety, panic, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from your future. You may also find yourself wondering why certain experiences continue to affect you—or feeling fearful or uncertain about what may have happened to you.
Perhaps you’ve been doing your best to cope, but the strategies that once helped no longer seem to be working. You may feel exhausted, frustrated, or even desperate for things to feel different.
Traumatic experiences can overwhelm our ability to cope and leave the mind and body feeling as though they need to stay on high alert. When our fundamental needs for safety, connection, protection, or control are disrupted, the nervous system can keep responding as though the threat is still present—even when we are safe in the present.
You are not broken. Your responses may be understandable adaptations to experiences that were difficult, overwhelming, or beyond your ability to process at the time.
As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I use EMDR as part of an integrative, trauma-informed approach to help process distressing experiences and memories that may continue to influence how you think, feel, and respond today. We’ll work collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable, while also developing practical ways to respond to difficult emotions, thoughts, and body sensations with greater flexibility and self-compassion.
The goal isn’t to erase what happened or force yourself to move on. It’s about helping your mind and body recognize that the experience is in the past, reducing the intensity of responses that no longer serve you, and creating more freedom in how you respond to the present.
There is hope for things to feel different. You don’t have to navigate the aftermath of trauma alone. Together, we can work toward greater safety within yourself, a stronger sense of self, and the freedom to move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and authentically your own.
