Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I specialize in supporting folks heal from traumas such as childhood emotional neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, grief/loss, and complex traumas such as co-dependency, attachment wounds, emotional abuse, parentification and exposure to emotionally immature parents. Trauma can also look like job loss, pet loss, car accidents, losing your home to a natural disaster, divorce, major illness, discrimination, bullying, and more. In session, healing begins with forming a secure therapeutic relationship, followed by a period of "resourcing" (skill building). Trauma processing is a non-linear process that includes opportunities to share or re-author your experience; healing also looks like releasing suppressed emotions, creating change or embracing a stance of acceptance. In addition, trauma work often includes reframing beliefs about the self, others and the world around you.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma can leave your body stuck in survival mode—hypervigilance, shutdown, nightmares, triggers, emotional numbness, or intense reactivity. Therapy helps you expand your window of tolerance, process what happened safely, and rebuild a felt sense of control and connection. Healing is possible without reliving everything, and we’ll move at a pace your nervous system can handle.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
