Trauma-Informed Therapy
Serving clients online throughout Ontario
Trauma-informed therapy recognizes the impact of difficult and painful experiences and places your safety, trust, and empowerment at the center of care. We understand that trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world, and we work alongside you to gently explore these patterns at a pace that feels right for you.
In session, this often looks like:
- Creating safety first: beginning with grounding techniques, mindfulness, or breathwork so you feel present and supported.
- Choice and collaboration: you set the pace, and we regularly check in to ensure you feel comfortable and in control of the process.
- Exploring experiences gently: focusing on your strengths, noticing body responses, or using imagery and narrative work to make meaning without overwhelming you.
- Developing coping tools: learning strategies to regulate emotions, manage triggers, and reconnect with a sense of stability.
- Empowering growth: shifting from surviving to thriving by helping you reclaim your voice, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
The focus is not just on processing the past but also on building resilience and helping you feel more grounded in the present. Over time, trauma-informed therapy can help you regain a sense of safety in your body, trust in your relationships, and confidence in your ability to move forward with greater control and clarity.
