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.

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Ever felt like you were merely surviving in life instead of thriving? There may be a possibility that you've experienced something traumatic. The truth is that trauma ranges from not being heard as a child to experiencing a catastrophic event. Trauma can show up in the body as chronic physical or emotional pain. Either way, it's best to have your situation re-assessed by a professional to see how these layers of trauma have been blocking you from living the life you deserve.

Life in Harmony Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist
Therapy stands out as one of the most effective approaches for developing long-term strategies to effectively manage the symptoms of PTSD. Diagnosing PTSD can be challenging, as it is often concealed by other symptoms, and individuals may experience periods of being asymptomatic.
Underlying distress in conditions like depression and substance abuse is frequently rooted in a traumatic experience. By working with a therapist in a secure environment, you can address and process your trauma. This therapeutic journey empowers you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, liberating you from the unconscious grip of trauma. Trauma therapy plays a crucial role in restoring a sense of wholeness and well-being after enduring a traumatic event.

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
Avoiding specific locations, sights, situations, and sounds that serve as reminders of the event
Anxiety, depression, numbness, or guilt
Negative Mood and Cognition Symptoms
Loss of interest in activities that were once considered enjoyable
Difficulty remembering details of the distressing event
Change in habits or behavior since the trauma
Hyperarousal Symptoms
Anger, irritability, and hypervigilance
Aggressive, reckless behavior, including self-harm
Sleep disturbances
Research has proven psychotherapy to be an effective form of treatment for trauma. Through evidence-based modalities, you will learn mindfulness, relaxation, and regulation tools that will help you to feel safe and secure in the present life. Once you regain stability, we can work on changing the way you process a traumatic experience.
We may explore how your traumatic experience impacted your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. It will help you address issues you may be having since the trauma related to trust, safety, power/control, esteem, and intimacy.
If you struggle with these symptoms and challenges please reach me today for a free consultation.

Bianca Uguccioni
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, RP
Experiencing trauma can cause deep emotional pain, fear, panic, confusion, PTSD or other mental health challenges. However, with the support of a therapist, recovery from trauma is possible. As a therapist, I take a trauma-informed lens, meaning that I am curious about the ways in which trauma might be impacting you and your relationships and provide you with space to better understand your unique experience, to find tools and resources to ground yourself and regulate during challenging times and to create opportunities to re-write your story and heal. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

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).
