Trauma therapy that moves at your pace
Maybe you can point to exactly when this started. Maybe it’s harder to pin down. Either way, what happened can change how you sleep, how you react, and how close you let people get. Here, the pace, the choices, and the sense of safety are yours from the first conversation. Nothing has to be earned.
The aim isn’t to forget what happened. It’s for what happened to stop running your day.
Some people notice
You don’t need to tick every box. One or two that feel familiar is reason enough to reach out.
- A shorter fuse than you used to have
- Reacting harder than you meant to, especially with someone you love
- Staying on high alert, even when nothing’s wrong
- Steering clear of anything that brings it back
- Trouble sleeping, or memories that show up uninvited
- Going through the motions more than actually being present
- A sense of guilt, shame, or shaken trust in yourself
- A racing heart or tense body, even when nothing’s actually happening
The questions people ask
How long does this take?
It depends on you, and on how soon you feel ready to move into trauma-focused work. Some approaches are structured and time-limited; we’ll tell you what to expect once we know more. Every few sessions we check in together and adjust.
What kind of therapy would we use?
Trauma therapy helps you process a hard experience, or experiences, so it has less hold on your day-to-day life. It usually starts with building safety and coping skills. Then it works through the trauma itself using an approach like EMDR, CPT, PE, or WET, at a pace you control. If guilt, shame, or a shaken sense of trust is part of what you’re carrying, we may also work directly on that.
Does trauma therapy cost more?
No. Whichever approach we use, it’s included in your standard session fee, with no separate charge. See fees and insurance.
Do you work with veterans and first responders?
Yes. See our dedicated page for veterans, Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, first responders and frontline workers.
