Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
Trauma and PTSD are now understood to be much more common than previously thought. The new research, in particular, by Bessel van der Kolk, has said that trauma is “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside [the individual].” These events leave us stuck in a state of helplessness and terror, and results in a change in how we perceive danger. So together we will work to process and release that trauma, emotionally and physically.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Our traumatic experiences are survival responses that can become embedded in our bodies, brains, and nervous systems impacting our lives long after the original trauma was experienced. How these trauma experiences were responded to (or not responded to originally) can also profoundly inform the ongoing experience of living with trauma. My approach unites techniques from leading, evidence-based methods including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness and psychodynamic psychotherapy to address overwhelming emotions like shame, anger, anxiety, fear, and depression.

I support people who have been through difficult or traumatic experiences. In a safe and judgment-free space, we work on understanding how those experiences affect you, finding healthy ways to cope, and gently processing what happened at your own pace. My goal is to help you feel more in control, regain a sense of safety, and move toward healing and strength.

Traumatic grief can happen when a death is sudden, unexpected, violent, unexplained, or impossible to make sense of. This may include losses connected to suicide, overdose, accidents, homicide, sudden medical events, or deaths where the cause or circumstances feel unclear. Any death can feel traumatic, but traumatic grief often carries an extra layer of shock because the person was here, and then suddenly they were not.
I support adults navigating traumatic grief, including the fear, confusion, anger, guilt, unanswered questions, looping thoughts, and emotional overwhelm that can follow this kind of loss. When a death feels random, preventable, unclear, or deeply unfair, the mind often tries to search for reasons, blame, facts, or something that will make the loss feel less unbearable.
As a certified grief coach, I help clients understand why traumatic grief can feel different from other grief experiences. I acknowledge and normalize what they are thinking and feeling, explain these reactions in plain language, and offer practical tools to help manage triggers, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, guilt, anger, and the search for answers after a traumatic or unclear death.
