David Andreone
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Accessing, unlocking and processing traumatic memories are the start to healing. Exposure therapy and talk therapy are my two main modes of healing as it pertains to trauma. It's tough to revisit, but I'll go there with you and guide you back to recovery.

Debbie Debonaire
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, IMTTA, Heartmath Coach
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) therapy, known as PTSD Counseling or Trauma Therapy, focuses on addressing the psychological aftermath of traumatic experiences. This therapeutic approach is vital for individuals who continue to struggle with distressing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance behaviours long after the trauma has occurred. I include science-backed treatments like heartmath heart coherence techniques, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and prolonged exposure therapy to help clients process and integrate traumatic memories, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control in their lives. Giving a compassionate and effective path towards healing and recovery for those impacted by PTSD. I guide individuals to get a better understanding of the emotions attached to past trauma and PTSD so that they can begin to change these emotions that are currently stifling their lives. Taking them through a science-backed process that enables them to quieten the volume of the trauma and replace it with better, more focused on present emotions

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Trauma and PTSD are more common than many people think. Terrifying events like accidents or war can cause this. Sexual or emotional abuse are a common causes. It can be a single event or something ongoing over many years to the point that is feels like a normality in which you are trapped. Many victims feel guilt and shame. Some memories are completely blanked out by the brain for many years and come back suddenly, triggered by something, or slowly, sometimes in caareful therapy. Symptoms can be dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (intrusive memories),repeated nightmares, numbness and/or increased anxiety, avoidance (f.ex. of sex, relationships), negative thoughts and moods and altered physical and emotional reactions and behavior..
If you have encountered this and think you may be affected please get help. It is understandable that you don’t feel like dealing with it and want to just push it aside and have nothing to do with it ever again, but if this hasn’t worked too well and it burdens areas of your life like your sex life and your relationship, it is advisable to address this in therapy. You can get help and heal.
