Recalibrate Therapeutic Services
Registered Social Worker, B.A., Psych, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that affects our mental health. It is characterized by PTSD symptoms that begin after a specific traumatic event or a build-up of trauma over time. This traumatic event or general trauma is often replayed repeatedly in the person's mind, making it appear as if they are continually experiencing this event. This results in the fears and stress associated with the trauma being continually reactivated in the body and mind.
The key to a diagnosis of PTSD is that this trauma, whether experiencing it or witnessing it, leads to debilitating anxiety symptoms that impact one’s ability to function on a day-to-day basis.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma is an event or experience that is deeply distressing or upsetting, and can have long-lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, combat, sexual assault, or a car accident.
PTSD can cause a range of symptoms, including intrusive thoughts and memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, and negative changes in mood and cognition. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and relationships, and may lead to other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
Effective treatments for PTSD include psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and medication. Trauma-focused therapy can help individuals process their traumatic experiences, develop coping skills, and reduce symptoms of PTSD. If you or a loved one is struggling with the effects of trauma or PTSD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Trauma and PTSD
Prudence Leung
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), MA in Counselling Psychology
I have experience working with young adults who have experienced trauma in various settings and in different periods of their life. This could include, but is not limited to, trauma during childhood resulting from parents or caregivers or other authoritative figures; trauma in romantic relationships during adolescence and/or adulthood; trauma caused by other family members, friends, and/or peers at any stage in your life. Although I have more of a holistic therapeutic approach with working with various issues, my approach when working with clients who have experienced trauma tends to lean towards a relational psychotherapy, interpersonal therapy, and person-centred therapy approach.
A positive therapeutic relationship with each client is crucial, in my opinion, and this is what I aim to develop with all of my clients in order to help them identify and understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This is an important step before we can begin the process of working together to create long-lasting change.
Therapy is a collaborative process. This may be the very first time that you are considering therapy, or you have may tried therapy in your past, but either way, I am here to work with you on your goals in a non-judgemental environment. This will allow for you to explore various barriers that may be preventing you from regaining control of your life. If you would like to set up an initial free 15-minute consultation with me, please feel free to contact me.

Trauma and PTSD
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma is probably the most overused concept in psychotherapy. To work with trauma, we have to differentiate between everyday normal dissatisfactions in life and profound experience of helplessness, loneliness, fear, and stress caused by a traumatic experience. PTSD is a creative, but often unhealthy, way to cope with trauma that should be acknowledged and experienced in a supportive environment for a healthy processing of the trauma that can lead to post-traumatic growth. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
