Trauma and PTSD
Mariya Garnet
Pre-Licensed Professional, Pre-licensed Psychotherapist
My approach to trauma treatment is rooted in Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT), recognizing that trauma, particularly pre-verbal trauma, often resides in the body beyond the reach of traditional talk therapy. EXAT offers a unique and powerful way to access and process these deeply held experiences.
Key aspects of our work include:
Utilizing multiple artistic modalities to bypass cognitive defenses and access implicit memories
Engaging the body's wisdom through movement, sound, and visual expression
Addressing pre-verbal trauma through non-verbal, sensory-based interventions
Integrating "brain-wise" arts-based techniques to support trauma reparation and recovery
EXAT provides a safe, non-threatening avenue for expressing and processing traumatic experiences that may be difficult or impossible to verbalize. Through creative expression, we work to release trapped emotions, reframe traumatic narratives, and restore a sense of safety and control.
This approach is particularly effective for:
Childhood trauma and developmental trauma
Complex PTSD
Somatic symptoms related to trauma
Dissociative disorders
The goal is to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and integrate fragmented aspects of their experiences. By engaging multiple senses and tapping into the body's innate healing capacity, EXAT offers a holistic path to trauma recovery and resilience.

Using somatic therapies, I help clients with a history of Trauma, PTSD and CPTSD, work with current symptoms that are interfering with their ability to live the lives they want. Using a good deal of psycho-education as well as experiential training around the brain-body connection and body calming exercises, I help clients build a tailor made tool kit for addressing the lingering affects of trauma.

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.

Trauma and PTSD
Amanda Elston
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
When we experience trauma, our entire identity and world can change. We may begin to avoid situations that cause us distress, or experience flashbacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, and depression. Trauma can impact the way we understand ourselves, our world, and how we relate to others. In therapy, I foster a safe space to unpack your story and build resiliency. I truly believe that traumatic experiences can impact us, but they do not have to define us. I focus on modalities such as EFT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy to work through understanding the experience, the impact it caused, and learn new ways to cope. Book a free consultation with me if you think we might be a good fit.

Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You can heal from loss, trauma and PTSD. You are important, and what you've experienced is important. Trauma can affect our lives in so many ways. Survivors can lose hope, struggle with depression and crippling anxiety, find it difficult to work or maintain relationships, and may live in a constant state of fear. You may feel like you're completely alone and that no one understands what you've experienced. You might miss the "old you" or want things to go back to the way they were before- this is completely natural. If you're struggling to manage symptoms of trauma or PTSD, the therapists at Grounded Minds are here for you. We can help you process your experiences, learn coping tools to manage your symptoms and free yourself from the heaviness weighing you down. If you're ready to take the first step, please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free consultation call.

Trauma and PTSD
Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
When people hear the word 'trauma', they may envision a horrific, life altering event. Although this could very well be the case, trauma is more of an internal process that is dictated not so much by the external event, but rather by the internal response to that event. People who are impacted by trauma are often still connected to that internal reaction and taken back there when they encounter certain triggers. In working with clients who may identify as trauma or PTSD victims, I aim to find ways to process their trauma to whatever degree feels comfortable while also reeling them back into the present moment and coaching them on how to do this outside of therapy. I also aim to strengthen the neuronal pathways that let one know they are safe and that they can heal from the past. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.
