Yidia Xin
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, registration no. 13745
Trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can have a profound and lasting impact on our lives. Hi, I'm Yidia, a compassionate psychotherapist specialized in helping individuals heal from trauma and find renewed strength and resilience.
Experiencing trauma can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and haunted by painful memories. Whether it's a single event or a prolonged series of challenging experiences, trauma can deeply affect our emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. However, I want you to know that healing and recovery are possible.
In my practice, I offer a safe and nurturing space where we can explore the effects of trauma and work towards finding healing and growth. I draw from evidence-based modalities, such as trauma-focused therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and somatic approaches to help you process and integrate your experiences.
Together, we will work at your own pace, honoring your unique journey towards healing. I provide a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you can safely share your story, gain insights, and develop coping mechanisms to manage symptoms associated with PTSD.
I understand that healing from trauma is a deeply personal and transformative process. Through our therapeutic work, we will address the impact trauma has on your life, emotions, and relationships. We will focus on restoring a sense of safety, reestablishing healthy boundaries, and fostering self-compassion.
If you are ready to embark on the path to healing from trauma and reclaim your life from its grip, please reach out to schedule a consultation. Together, we will navigate the complexities of trauma, foster resilience, and help you rediscover a renewed sense of well-being and possibility. Remember, you are not defined by your past experiences, and there is hope for a brighter future ahead.

McDowall Integrative Psychology and Healthcare
Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
The primary indicators of PTSD are 1) re-experiencing of the event, through flashbacks, nightmares and distressing memories, 2) avoidance, through numbing the emotions and feeling detached from others, and 3) hypervigilance and a chronic state of anxious arousal. They may feel irritable and have outbursts of anger and may stop participating in activities and relationships that used to bring them happiness before the event. These are natural reactions to the extreme stress they have endured, and continue to endure, and can make life very difficult for the individual and those who love them.
If you or someone you know has experienced a traumatic event, you may recognize some of these symptoms in yourself or your friend/loved one. Take heart, because there is help and there is hope. PTSD is often a chronic condition, but it does not have to be a permanent life sentence. With courage and perseverance, you can overcome your body’s safety mechanisms and protective behaviours and break free of the debilitating cycle of fear, avoidance, pain, and confusion.

The origins of EMDR are rooted in working with PTSD and trauma. This evidence-based therapy has been proven to work with symptoms including anxiety, depression, phobias, and panic. Gestalt therapy is an empathetic and relational approach that supports the specific needs of the client and fosters self understanding and growth. These two modalities complement each other to produce holistic and comprehensive healing.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can impact every part of ourselves; the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Trauma, no matter how big or small, makes us feel that we do not have control over our lives and are vulnerable to threat. Trauma often stays in the body and the subconscious mind, until we are ready to address it. With a focus on the nervous system and its role in storing trauma, I provide my clients with a safe, nurturing environment in which they can express and explore their trauma from the past or present. Using practical tools based in CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic-informed approaches, I help my clients process the trauma in a gradual way. Trauma does not have to control your life. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to help them overcome it and move forward.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Trauma occurs on a continuum to include relational, developmental and catastrophic traumas. With a solid foundation in understanding how trauma can impact and fragment our sense of self, leave us feeling powerless, unable to manage emotions or believe we can reconnect to humanity, I will engage to hear your story, make sense of contradictory emotions, and strive to help regain stability, connection and agency in life.
