Tiffany Warmington
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP
I support individuals navigating the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including intrusive thoughts, emotional distress, avoidance, and difficulty feeling safe or grounded. My approach is trauma-informed and paced carefully, focusing on restoring a sense of safety, understanding the impact of past experiences, and supporting healing, integration, and resilience over time.

Trauma is a deeply personal experience and it can feel difficult to know where to turn for support because reaching out can feel unsafe. While I do not offer services for PTSD, we have many therapists at our clinic, Psychotherapy Collective, well positioned to support you.

of Salt & Sky Therapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Trauma doesn’t always stay in the past just because the experience is over. It can show up in your relationships, your body, your reactions, your sense of safety, or in patterns you understand intellectually but still can’t seem to change. At of Salt & Sky, we won’t rush you into telling your story or push you somewhere you aren’t ready to go. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable, helping you understand what your mind and body learned to survive and what you may no longer need to carry.

Reegan Bushby
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how you feel, think, relate to others, and respond to situations long after the event has passed. I provide trauma-informed support to help clients understand these responses, develop emotional regulation and coping skills, process difficult experiences at a safe pace, and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Corey Lesperance
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying); RP(Q)
Trauma and PTSD are very difficult challenges to heal from, but through therapy we can learn to explore these experiences through gradual-exposure therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and other approaches to combine curiosity with compassion so that the client can live more in the present moment and not the harmful past.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
