North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced trauma, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.

Trauma and PTSD
Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
As an attachment therapist, I believe early trauma often originates within our family of origin, where unmet emotional, physical, or psychological needs may have left lasting imprints. These unmet needs—whether they involve a lack of nurturing, emotional attunement, or consistent support—can deeply affect our sense of security and shape how we view ourselves and others. Over time, these early experiences can contribute to feelings of insecurity, low self-worth, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. By addressing these foundational wounds, we can begin to heal the parts of ourselves that still carry the pain of our early unmet needs and work toward developing a stronger, more secure sense of self.

Jessica Landry Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma is isolating. It impacts your day to day in more ways than you can understand. Your nervous system gets activated and you live in fight or flight. You are not alone. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and help them build safety, process the trauma, and learn to regulate their nervous systems to help them feel more present in their daily life. While we cannot change what happened, we can help change the way it impacts you.

Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living. I will collaborate with you to form a treatment plan to forge a treatment plan that meets your preferred way of living.

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.

My trauma-informed approach focuses on how your body and mind respond to stress and trauma. I recognize that systemic oppression, colonialism, and societal pressures can deeply affect your nervous system, shaping how you experience the world and your own emotions. Using techniques like Brainspotting, we’ll work together to process these experiences in a safe way, helping to release the tension stored in your body and mind.
