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.

Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you find yourself reliving your trauma event over and over? Do you often feel overwhelmed or on edge? Experiencing or witnessing trauma can be a transformative experience. Any sudden and unexpected event that negatively impacts your well-being and sense of security can lead to difficulties in coping after the event. You may constantly feel anger, irritation, or a general sense of overwhelm due to the aftereffects of a more recent traumatic event (or even one that happened long ago).

Trauma and PTSD
McDowall Integrative Psychology and Healthcare
Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
The primary indicators of PTSD are 1) re-experiencing of the event, through flashbacks, nightmares and distressing memories, 2) avoidance, through numbing the emotions and feeling detached from others, and 3) hypervigilance and a chronic state of anxious arousal. They may feel irritable and have outbursts of anger and may stop participating in activities and relationships that used to bring them happiness before the event. These are natural reactions to the extreme stress they have endured, and continue to endure, and can make life very difficult for the individual and those who love them.
If you or someone you know has experienced a traumatic event, you may recognize some of these symptoms in yourself or your friend/loved one. Take heart, because there is help and there is hope. PTSD is often a chronic condition, but it does not have to be a permanent life sentence. With courage and perseverance, you can overcome your body’s safety mechanisms and protective behaviours and break free of the debilitating cycle of fear, avoidance, pain, and confusion.
How McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare can help you.
At McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare, we take pride in providing our clients with a warm, confidential and safe environment so you will feel open to discuss whatever is on your mind. Making you feel comfortable each and every time you visit is very important to us.
Some stress at work is normal, but if you find yourself under a lot of pressure and this negatively affects other areas of your life such as your social, personal, and physical domains, then you might benefit from our counselling services.
We provide a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can speak to one of our therapists about the issues you are experiencing. We will help you implement some coping strategies or improve your existing ones in order to improve your well-being, not simply during your work day but throughout the long-term. We look forward to working with you through the pressures you are facing and help strengthen your resilience to external and internal contributors of stress.

Trauma and PTSD
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.

Trauma and PTSD
Mary Elizabeth Borkowski
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma, and its clinical level severity of posttraumatic stress disorder, can be one of the most challenging and subtle emotional and mental experiences to reckon with. It often is experiences as a fragmented or shattered sense of meaning linked to experiences that were perceived to be or were life threatening. Many of the individuals I work with experience relational or incidental trauma, including PTSD or CPTSD, and find that a psychoanalytical approach is the most expansive and comprehensive way to confront, accept, and then integrate their traumatic pasts so they can move forward in their lives with less confusion, hypervigilance, and fear.
