Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You can heal from loss, trauma and PTSD. You are important, and what you've experienced is important. Trauma can affect our lives in so many ways. Survivors can lose hope, struggle with depression and crippling anxiety, find it difficult to work or maintain relationships, and may live in a constant state of fear. You may feel like you're completely alone and that no one understands what you've experienced. You might miss the "old you" or want things to go back to the way they were before- this is completely natural. If you're struggling to manage symptoms of trauma or PTSD, the therapists at Grounded Minds are here for you. We can help you process your experiences, learn coping tools to manage your symptoms and free yourself from the heaviness weighing you down. If you're ready to take the first step, please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free consultation call.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
What if I said that what happened was not your fault, that people can be trusted, and that there's nothing wrong with you?
What if I told you that you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, that you can let go of feeling on edge and hypervigilant?
What if you knew that the only reason you are suspicious, that decisions are hard to make, and that you find it hard to connect with and trust others is because your trauma shook your sense of self, the people around you, and the word more generally?
What if I said that you don't have to live the rest of your life haunted by memories and flashbacks of the worst days of your life? That you don't have to keep distracting yourself? That you're not "too broken or beyond fixing" and that there IS hope?
Trauma and PTSD change the way we think, feel, and behave in many ways but the good news is that these are treatable conditions. There are evidence-based approaches (well research strategies) that can help you rise from your experience(s), release the past into the past, and claim the life you've always wanted.
At New Moon Psychotherapy Trauma is our specialty. We are a team of registered psychotherapists and social workers who specialize in treating post-traumatic stress and related difficulties such as CPTSD, PTSD, addiction/substance Use, self-injury and suicide ideation, emotion dysregulation, perfectionism, anxiety and depression. We work extensively with survivors of sexual violence and criminal victimization (robbery, assault, car jacking, shootings, etc.) as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, natural disasters, bullying, war and near death experiences.
We are committed to using evidence-based approaches - the ones that have been test and tried for the very difficulties that you're experiencing including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy. We offer trauma focused individual, couples, family, and group therapy. We love what we do and stay current through ongoing training and consultation.
Interested in finding relief from trauma symptoms but don't think you can commit to long-term therapy? Our 4-week group focused on Finding Calm in the Body can teach you to calm the nervous system which would bring down intense emotions, hypervigilance, and help you improve sleep and manage flashbacks and body memories. It's an affordable alternative to individual therapy.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.
* * * If you decide not to go with our clinic, please ensure that your therapist is trained in EVIDENCE-BASED Psychotherapies for trauma - this will be the difference between months and years of therapy * * *

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Working with trauma and the impacts it can have on an individual can be a delicate process; our traumas can be so painful and can have a great impact on how we feel, what we do, and who we are. I specialize in working with clients whose behaviours, feelings, and emotions have largely been shaped by the experiences they have had, and I make it clear to all of them that their lives do not have to be shaped by these experiences and that there is so much that can be done to remove the problematic feelings or reactions from their lives. It can be a deep and comprehensive process, but it is incredibly rewarding, both for the client and for me.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Support for Trauma and PTSD
Trauma leaves imprints—not just in memory, but in the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious. I offer a safe, attuned space to explore those imprints with care, clarity, and compassion.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how deeply trauma can affect relationships, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. My approach is gentle yet effective, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic awareness, mindfulness, and reflective process work to support healing at your own pace.
Areas of Focus Include:
• Complex trauma and early relational wounds
• Single-incident trauma and acute stress
• Military and first responder experiences
• Interpersonal violence and emotional abuse
• Anxiety, panic, and hypervigilance linked to trauma
This work is about restoring a sense of safety—internally and relationally. Together, we’ll explore what’s been held, what’s been silenced, and what’s ready to be released. I prioritize trust, respect, and emotional presence, creating a space where you can feel deeply heard and supported as you reconnect with your strength and resilience.
