PTSD/Trauma
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.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
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.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma and PTSD are my areas of specialization. Trauma may encompass a wide range of human experience and its negative impact on our lives is at times very clear to us and at other times goes unnoticed yet prevents us from living the lives we desire. I employ evidence based approaches recognized by the World Health Organization as being the gold standards due to their proven success. This includes both talk therapy approaches as well as the non-talk therapy of EMDR. My approach is integrative and holistic.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, triggered, or disconnected from your body or emotions? Many people who have experienced trauma learn to protect themselves by avoiding feelings, situations, or memories that feel unsafe. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness.
These reactions are not weaknesses—they are protective responses that once helped you survive. What matters is how we process them now. Together, we can safely explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop ways to feel more grounded, empowered, and lighter over time. You survived for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Do you find yourself dealing with current or past trauma? Experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness, no thoughts or feelings about your future or poor concentration and memory, nightmares or sleeplessness, increased anxiety or episodes of panic - and curious or fearful of what may have happened to you?
I can relate to what you are struggling with and understand how hard it can be to cope with these issues, including the desperation you might feel that current coping strategies aren't working.
I am here for you. I understand that traumatic events or experiences (even indirect ones) can overwhelm your ability to cope, adding to the sense of powerlessness, frustration and lack of control. As humans, we have a fundamental need to feel safe, protected and loved - and when our world is turned upside down, and those basic needs are unmet, we do our best to restore some balance, an innate biological response of survival mode.
There is hope. Together we will develop flexible ways to manage this survival response and work towards resolving trauma using an integrative approach and a compassionate lens. It takes work to override that protection autopilot, but if you are ready for a change in your life (or even curious), I am willing to roll up my sleeves, get in the trenches and work alongside you. You deserve to experience freedom, peace and joy and live a rich and meaningful life.

Milton has been among Canada's fastest-growing communities for two decades, a Halton Region town at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment that has drawn thousands of young, diverse families — including large South Asian communities — to new subdivisions and long commutes across the Greater Toronto Area. Newcomer settlement stress, commute strain on couples, and youth mental health in rapidly filling schools define local need, and services have struggled to keep pace with growth. Halton's community programs and the GTA's large therapy market, plus virtual care, fill the gap.
