ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed
Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
I have dedicated over twenty years to supporting clients through various forms of trauma and PTSD. I have witnessed how traumatic events get stored in such a way that one's understanding of self and world become impaired. My dedication to the area of trauma has revealed a profound truth: at the heart of recovery from painful life events is the ability to heal what is stuck. Using treatment strategies like EMDR, Ego state work, attachment-focused, client-centered practice I will work with you to tackle the pieces of your experience that remain stuck, leaving you with a sense of relief and a neutralized experience of the trauma and PTSD.

Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. We know that anxiety, depression and chronic stress often occur in tandem with physical illness but can be overlooked or we may fear addressing these mental health challenges directly. During a health crisis we are often required to put much of our lives on hold and may not have a chance to grieve or attend to other areas of our life. PTSD and medical trauma may be the result of a sudden health crisis, medical intervention, or from repeated interactions with the healthcare system. The effects of ableism, discrimination and systemic oppression can feel heavy and lasting.

PTSD affects millions each year and may occur at any age, including early childhood – triggered by a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, an accident, war, rape, or other violence. Depression and anxiety are conditions that commonly accompany PTSD. You can live a happy life, one that enables you to reach your full potential, even if you have PTSD. The key to doing so may largely rest in working with a licensed professional.

Krista Hull, Tough Stuff Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BFA, BA
Taking a trauma-informed approach to supporting survivors, my goal is to help you feel safe, build a sense of self trust, allowing you to live in the present moment. Trauma can be more than the experiences of an individual but can also often be inter-generational. Together we can uncover the story of our personal and familial trauma, and begin to re-story our experience bringing in resilience, and strengths.
