Trauma and PTSD
Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
As an attachment therapist, I believe early trauma often originates within our family of origin, where unmet emotional, physical, or psychological needs may have left lasting imprints. These unmet needs—whether they involve a lack of nurturing, emotional attunement, or consistent support—can deeply affect our sense of security and shape how we view ourselves and others. Over time, these early experiences can contribute to feelings of insecurity, low self-worth, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. By addressing these foundational wounds, we can begin to heal the parts of ourselves that still carry the pain of our early unmet needs and work toward developing a stronger, more secure sense of self.

Trauma and PTSD
Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
Trauma and PTSD are our brain and body responses to unprocessed memories. Those memories keep affected individuals stuck in the past by being taken back to the same level of arousal, fear and anxiety as when the traumatic event occurred every single time they are triggered. They result from a lack of processing and integration of what happened to be able to move to the next chapter of life. You will expect three part in our work on trauma: exposure response prevention (1), memories integration and processing work (2) and reclaiming life (3). All these stages and phases are titrated to the client’s window of tolerance and grounding strategies are often used to bring the hyper a roused or dissociating client back to the present. Using trauma-informed language and strategies, my approach is evidence based, client-informed and outcomes-focused.

Trauma and PTSD
Kayleigh Arkalgud
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
When working with clients who have experienced trauma or PTSD, I prioritize creating a sense of safety and stability before delving into deeper healing. I take a gentle, paced approach, supporting clients to understand how trauma affects their nervous system and exploring ways to regulate overwhelming emotions and body sensations. Using a combination of relational support, mindfulness, and body-based awareness, I guide clients in reconnecting with themselves, processing past experiences at a manageable pace, and building resilience. My goal is to support clients to move beyond survival mode, reclaim a sense of control, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living. I will collaborate with you to form a treatment plan to forge a treatment plan that meets your preferred way of living.

Trauma and PTSD
Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma can change our lives and drive our behaviours and reactions. When something traumatic happens to us, our entire body is affected; not only psychologically, but physiologically too. The good news is that the symptoms of PTSD and the resulting problems from trauma ca be radically improved. I am a trained certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP). Together, we will explore EMDR, mindfulness techniques, grounding and relaxation. I will also teach you CBT strategies for identifying cognitive distortions, rules and assumptions and core beliefs that drive our reactions to trauma. Congratulations on taking the first step on your healing journey.

Trauma and PTSD
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Working with trauma and the impacts it can have on an individual can be a delicate process; our traumas can be so painful and can have a great impact on how we feel, what we do, and who we are. I specialize in working with clients whose behaviours, feelings, and emotions have largely been shaped by the experiences they have had, and I make it clear to all of them that their lives do not have to be shaped by these experiences and that there is so much that can be done to remove the problematic feelings or reactions from their lives. It can be a deep and comprehensive process, but it is incredibly rewarding, both for the client and for me.
