PTSD/Trauma
François Lacharité
Therapist, EP L1
[EN] Trauma and PTSD can continue to affect the present through reactions that feel automatic — withdrawing, becoming highly alert to another person’s response, disconnecting from what you feel, or organizing your life around avoiding certain experiences. My work does not require you to retell everything that happened in order for us to begin. We can explore how the effects of trauma are showing up now, in your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself.
[FR] Le trauma et le stress post-traumatique peuvent continuer à influencer le présent à travers des réactions qui semblent automatiques — se retirer, devenir très attentif aux réactions de l’autre, perdre le contact avec ce que tu ressens ou organiser ta vie autour de l’évitement de certaines expériences. Il n’est pas nécessaire de raconter en détail tout ce qui s’est passé pour que nous puissions commencer à travailler ensemble. Nous pouvons explorer comment les effets du trauma apparaissent aujourd’hui dans tes pensées, tes émotions, ton corps, tes relations et les façons dont tu as appris à te protéger.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

PTSD/Trauma
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body.
We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment.
I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
PTSD is fundamentally a nervous system injury; the body gets stuck in incomplete survival responses. SE helps the body gradually complete those responses, discharge stored survival energy, and return to regulation. This makes it especially suited for trauma resolution.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
I support individuals who are navigating the effects of trauma — whether recent or long past. Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world, often showing up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or difficulty trusting.
My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and paced according to your readiness. Together, we create a safe and supportive space to process experiences, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild a sense of safety, empowerment, and self-trust.
