Alex Boersen: Redline Recovery Counselling and EMDR
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I support individuals healing from trauma and PTSD using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This evidence-based approach helps process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and promote healing, allowing clients to regain a sense of safety and move forward in their lives.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with trauma or PTSD, you may feel as though your body and mind are still reacting to something that has already happened. You might experience intrusive memories, nightmares, emotional numbness, heightened startle responses, or strong reactions that feel out of proportion to the present moment. Trauma is not simply remembered. It is often stored in the nervous system.
At Selah Counselling, we approach trauma with care, pacing, and clinical precision. Our first focus is safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills and nervous system regulation so your body feels more secure before processing traumatic material. In addition to talk therapy, we may use bottom-up approaches that work directly with how trauma is stored in the body. This can include EMDR and other evidence-based methods designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional intensity and restores integration.
Our goal is not to rush the story, but to help you regain a sense of control, clarity, and steadiness. Healing from trauma is possible when the body, brain, and narrative are supported together.

Trauma is a deeply personal experience and it can feel difficult to know where to turn for support because reaching out can feel unsafe. In my work with individuals who have experienced trauma, helping people to feel safe is the foundation for healing. We work together at a pace that is comfortable for you and I check-in regularly to ensure that you continue to feel safe and supported. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, trauma is what happens when we are unable to cope with the things that happen to us, at no fault of our own. We can understand trauma as being a lack of resources to deal with situations, not a lack of ability, character or willpower. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your trauma, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and processing it so that you can be free of the ways that your past is showing up in your present.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Being stuck with memories and emotions from traumatic events can really hold people back from engaging in a rich and meaningful life. Trauma comes in many forms and is any thing that negatively impacts on someones sense of well being. I am trained in many forms of therapy that can be used to reduce the impact of trauma and PTSD and have worked with first responders, veterans, people from violent families, people who were bullied and many other forms of trauma.

Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Trauma and PTSD is more widespread than was previously believed. It is often disbelieved. Often you will blame yourself. I will help you understand what happened and what it did to you. Together we will help you to come to a place of understanding and compassion. We will also help you gain the resources to strengthen this wounded part.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave deep imprints on both the body and mind, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. You may find yourself reliving painful memories, feeling on edge, or struggling to trust safety again. Through EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, we’ll work to gently process what’s been overwhelming so that you can begin to feel grounded, connected, and whole again. Healing is possible-and you don’t have to do it alone.
