Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing dedicated support for individuals navigating Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We offer a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing to promote healing and resilience.
Our therapists are trained to create a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their traumatic experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards reclaiming their sense of safety and empowerment. We understand the profound impact of trauma on the mind and body and tailor our therapeutic interventions to address the complex interplay between emotional, physical, and psychological responses to trauma.
By drawing on Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, we support clients in developing grounding strategies, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering a sense of stability as they navigate the healing process. Additionally, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing techniques help individuals address trauma stored in the body, promoting a deeper understanding of somatic responses and facilitating the release of stored tension and stress.
Our approach to trauma recovery is collaborative, client-centered, and holistic, focusing on promoting self-awareness, self-regulation, and integration of traumatic experiences. We support clients in building resilience, developing coping skills, and fostering a greater sense of agency and empowerment in their journey towards healing and recovery.
We are dedicated to providing trauma-informed care that honors the unique experiences and needs of each individual. Our goal is to create a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and supported as they work towards reclaiming their sense of self and moving towards a life of greater peace and wholeness.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate areas of trauma and PTSD with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, recognizing the profound impact these experiences can have on an individual's life. By employing a holistic and integrative strategy, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I provide a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and process their experiences. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, helping to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EFT serves as a tool for managing emotional responses, while IFS offers insights into the multiplicity of the self, fostering internal healing. CBT helps in challenging and changing unhelpful patterns of thought related to trauma, and Role-pPlaying can be particularly effective in rehearsing coping strategies and building confidence in handling triggering situations. My role is to guide and support you through your healing journey, offering compassionate care and tailored therapeutic interventions to help you navigate the complexities of trauma and PTSD, with the goal of fostering resilience, recovery, and a return to a sense of safety and well-being in your life.

Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RCC, RTC
When the nervous system is chronically overactivated because of trauma, it can feel like your mind has become programmed to constantly react to danger. Even if you know the danger has past, the body and nervous system may need more convincing. Together in counselling, we’ll work to process trauma, reduce the impact of triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and balance. Using techniques like EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy, and hypnotherapy, we’ll focus on building nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and empowering you to move forward with greater peace.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact of experiencing distressing or life-threatening events. It can arise from various situations, including accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a specific mental health condition that may develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. Individuals with PTSD often face symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness, which can disrupt daily life and relationships. It's important to understand that trauma affects everyone differently, and recovery is possible. Seeking support from mental health professionals, engaging in therapy, and connecting with support groups can be vital in the healing process. By acknowledging and addressing trauma, individuals can work toward reclaiming their lives and finding a path to resilience and healing.
