Rachel Eddins
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
Trauma can be caused by a specific event (like an accident, assault, or life-threatening event), a recurring event (like combat exposure or repeated abuse), or a developmental, childhood, or relational trauma (like physical or emotional neglect in childhood).
Trauma can also be caused by many other frightening situations, such as bullying, abuse, rape, crime, war, victimization, and shaming/humiliation.
You don’t have to live with symptoms of trauma and PTSD. Trauma therapy can help you get unstuck and return to feeling like yourself again. You can heal from trauma.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have an extensive background in trauma through my work with young people & adults around sexual abuse/assault, domestic violence & childhood trauma/neglect. My trauma informed practice gives me the basis for understanding & supporting people through trauma. My experience has helped me to understand that trauma is a very unique & individualized experience. For some people, trauma can appear small or unimportant (like a car accident) however to me, all trauma is experienced by the individual as traumatic for them, so whether it is perceived by others as small or unimportant it is important, & valid, for the person for whom the experience was traumatic. I have found that this understanding has been vital in my trauma work & has helped me to support people with all types of trauma. Building the therapeutic relationship, again, is important in this work to create a collaborative, safe & comfortable environment for my clients to share & heal.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist that is skilled in helping a client stay within their window of tolerance when talking about experiences that activate their emotional body and nervous system. Effective therapy occurs in the middle zone of activation, not too comfortable but also not too upset. It's my job to help my clients to build capacity and regulation tools to stay in that middle zone so their experience can be processed in a healthy and empowering way.
