Trauma and PTSD
Larysa Strizhevsky
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime, whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, our exposure to the violence or war.
While many people may experience strong symptoms in the early days following trauma and will improve over time, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, helplessness, confusion, and develop post-traumatic stress (PTSD) far after the event has passed.
The support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
If you are experiencing some of the symptoms listed below, you may have developed PTSD.
Re-experiencing Symptoms
Intrusive thoughts, disturbing memories of trauma, of nightmares, or flashbacks in which it feels as though the trauma is happening again
Avoidance Symptoms

Trauma and PTSD
Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Trauma and PTSD can have a profound impact on mental health, leaving individuals feeling stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, and emotional distress. Whether stemming from past abuse, accidents, or other life events, trauma can affect relationships, self-esteem, and day-to-day functioning. Through solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), survivors can begin to heal, process their experiences, and rebuild their lives. Therapy helps individuals regain a sense of safety, learn coping strategies for managing triggers, and reclaim control over their emotional well-being. Healing from trauma is possible, and therapy offers a path to restoration, resilience, and empowerment in moving forward.

Living with trauma is exhausting. It often leaves people feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed, misunderstood and under supported. I work with trauma clients to help them to process what has happened in the past, cope with what they are experiencing in the present and look forward to building and maintaining a stable healthy future. I draw on psychodynamic, somatic, cognitive processing and narrative theories and approaches. You can contact me to schedule a free consultation to determine if I am the best fit for you.

Trauma and PTSD
Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can impact every part of ourselves; the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Trauma, no matter how big or small, makes us feel that we do not have control over our lives and are vulnerable to threat. Trauma often stays in the body and the subconscious mind, until we are ready to address it. With a focus on the nervous system and its role in storing trauma, I provide my clients with a safe, nurturing environment in which they can express and explore their trauma from the past or present. Using practical tools based in CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic-informed approaches, I help my clients process the trauma in a gradual way. Trauma does not have to control your life. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to help them overcome it and move forward.
