Trauma and PTSD
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, 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.

Priscilla Ocran
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My work is heavily based in trauma work and supporting individuals who have gone through traumatic experiences. The experiences you have gone through do not have to define or consume you. Whether that is childhood trauma or present day trauma, I work from a trauma-informed approach creating a warm and safe environment where individuals feel supported as we work through impactful/ traumatic experiences to begin the process of healing.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Have you directly experienced, witnessed, or learned about someone close to you who experienced a traumatic event? Do you experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and/or intrusive thoughts about the event that last for months or even years following the traumatic event? If so, MindFit can help.
At MindFit, our coaches provide several evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches to trauma treatment including
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• This program is a 12-session weekly structured treatment that involves education about PTSD, monitoring of events, thoughts and emotions, recognizing and challenging problematic thoughts (that can develop after traumatic events and keep you stuck – e.g., “I can’t trust myself”, “People can’t be trusted”, “Something bad is going to occur again”), writing about the trauma (to examine how you think about it and find ways to live with it), and planning for the future.
Prolonged Exposure (PE)
• This program involves 10-weekly structured sessions and involves a trauma interview and exposures: facing situations and memories that you find scary or may be avoiding to help you learn to cope more effectively. This program also includes breathing retraining, examining reactions to the trauma and planning for the future. The goal is to ease your symptoms and help reduce avoidance (which makes fears worse).
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)
• TF-CBT is a scientifically-based treatment for children and adolescents and their caregivers/parents affected by trauma
• TF-CBT is a structured short term approach (generally 8-16 sessions)
• A diagnosis of PTSD is not required for TF-CBT
• This program also addresses other aspects of trauma including low mood, anxiety, behavioural challenges, and parent/caregiver distress
• Components of treatment include education about trauma, relaxation skills, processing thoughts and beliefs of the trauma, talking about/unpacking the trauma narrative, exposures (facing feared situations), learning to regulate emotions, and planning for the future

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing dedicated support for individuals navigating Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We offer a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing to promote healing and resilience.
Our therapists are trained to create a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their traumatic experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards reclaiming their sense of safety and empowerment. We understand the profound impact of trauma on the mind and body and tailor our therapeutic interventions to address the complex interplay between emotional, physical, and psychological responses to trauma.
By drawing on Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, we support clients in developing grounding strategies, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering a sense of stability as they navigate the healing process. Additionally, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing techniques help individuals address trauma stored in the body, promoting a deeper understanding of somatic responses and facilitating the release of stored tension and stress.
Our approach to trauma recovery is collaborative, client-centered, and holistic, focusing on promoting self-awareness, self-regulation, and integration of traumatic experiences. We support clients in building resilience, developing coping skills, and fostering a greater sense of agency and empowerment in their journey towards healing and recovery.
We are dedicated to providing trauma-informed care that honors the unique experiences and needs of each individual. Our goal is to create a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and supported as they work towards reclaiming their sense of self and moving towards a life of greater peace and wholeness.
