Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, MA(CP)(Distinct.), BA(Hons)
Trauma can cause irreversible impacts to our lives that seem impossible to overcome. It comes in different shapes and sizes and affects everyone differently. Together, client and therapist work together to understand how trauma invades the psyche and dysregulates the body. Trauma is life-changing, but talk-therapy combined with somatic interventions can support post-traumatic growth and the rewiring of unhealthy self-narratives and cognitive distortions.

Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach. Symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness can be incredibly challenging, but they're also your mind's way of trying to protect you. In therapy, we work at your pace to process these experiences safely. Together, we can work on processing difficult memories and developing resilience. Call today to begin your journey.

John Harrison, CFIR St Catharines
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD
Trauma can have a lasting impact on how we see ourselves and the world, as well as our relationships, and neuroscience has shown how trauma, particularly when experienced when young within our intimate relationships, can influence the development and functional integrations of our brains and nervous system. My trauma-informed approach emphasizes creating felt safety within the therapeutic relationship, and from this place of safety we can begin to understand how to metabolize the trauma and reclaim connection with ourselves and those that we value in our lives.

Emmy Montemurro-Baxter
Registered Psychotherapist, MScEd, RP, RMFT
Very many people have experienced traumatic events in their lives. These experiences can leave one feeling unsafe, a sense helplessness and loss of trust. After a traumatic event one may experience any combination of the following:
- flashbacks
- hyper vigilance
- difficulty staying present
- de realization or depersonalization.
- a sense of panic
- difficulty sleeping
I work from a trauma informed perspective. I practice a multi-modal style of therapy. I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on what they bring to therapy.

As a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, I offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have experienced distressing or life-altering events. Understanding that trauma can deeply affect emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning, I use evidence-based approaches to help clients process painful memories, manage symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control. My goal is to empower clients to heal from their trauma, build resilience, and reclaim their lives with hope and strength.

Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
There are many different ways to experience trauma and there is no one way to cope with the impact of these events. Often it can feel like a secret that you are carrying with you throughout life, trying to put away somewhere because “going there” may not feel safe. At some point the weight can become too heavy to manage on your own. Just having the courage to seek help and make yourself vulnerable to difficult memories shows a great deal of strength which I respect. One of the things that often gets lost after a traumatic event is a sense of control over our life. In our sessions I want to assure you that you are in control of where we go and what we talk about. I will follow your lead. I have done more conversational trauma counselling and am also trained in EMDR which is a more structured and goal driven therapy. Which route we choose is your call. I invite you to reach out and book a free consultation if this sounds like something that would be helpful for you.
