Thamina Ahmadzai
Registered Psychotherapist
PTSD is a complex and deeply personal condition that can shatter lives, but it is not an insurmountable obstacle. In my role, I walk alongside my clients on their journey to recovery, creating a safe and compassionate space for them to process their trauma. Together, we explore their thoughts, emotions, and memories, seeking to untangle the web of distress that trauma can weave.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Trauma affects us on a deep level. It may take years to reappear, or it may have never gone away in the first place. The key is to move past the trauma and not let it affect your life, which is easier said than done. To achieve this, a person must self-regulate their emotions and process their experience safely and helpfully. Self-regulation skills can help someone become aware of their body and mind more, as well as their emotions. This awareness would lead to the development of techniques that better enable you to process and express emotions in a healthy manner. It will also increase your resiliency towards adverse situations. Once you are able to process and express emotions healthily, the trauma can be explored and processed in a way that helps you heal rather than become retraumatized.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
Trauma and PTSD work follows a phased approach: stabilization and skills, processing when appropriate, and reconnection to life. We’ll blend CBT for trauma with DBT-informed emotion skills so you feel steadier while we do the deeper work. The goal is movement—from reliving to remembering, from survival to living. Offered in Durham and online Ontario-wide.
