Trauma Therapy in Ontario

Online trauma therapy across Ontario, with in-person appointments available in Burlington

When your body still reacts like it’s happening now

You might know you’re safe…
but your body doesn’t feel that way.

You may notice:

  • Feeling on edge without a clear reason
  • Strong reactions that feel out of proportion
  • Difficulty relaxing, even in safe situations
  • Your body tensing or bracing automatically
  • A constant sense that something isn’t quite settled

When certain things trigger a bigger reaction

Trauma doesn’t always show up all the time…sometimes it’s specific moments that shift everything.

You might:

  • Feel suddenly overwhelmed in certain situations
  • Get triggered by things you can’t always explain
  • Experience intense emotional or physical reactions
  • Avoid certain places, conversations, or dynamics
  • Feel like something “takes over” in those moments

It can feel unpredictable…like you lose your sense of control quickly.

When you feel stuck between overwhelm and shutdown

Trauma can pull you in two directions.

You might:

  • Feel overwhelmed, anxious, or on edge
  • Shut down, feel numb, and disconnected
  • Be unable to engage with people and activities
  • Have difficulty staying present in stressful moments
  • Feel disconnected from your body or emotions

When the past doesn’t feel fully in the past

You might notice:

  • Memories that feel vivid or hard to shake
  • You replay situations or conversations in your mind
  • Feeling like certain experiences are still “with you”
  • Emotional reactions that feel tied to something earlier
  • A sense that something unresolved keeps showing up

What trauma therapy can help with

Trauma therapy can help you understand how past experiences may still be affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships and responses today. Together, we can work on giving you more choice in how you respond when something gets triggered. 

We focus on:

  • Understanding your triggers and responses
  • Reducing intensity of emotional and physical reactions
  • Learning to be present
  • Processing experiences in a way that doesn’t retraumatize

What can start to feel different

Over time, you may begin to notice:

  • Triggers don't take over as quickly
  • You recognize what's happening before becoming completely overwhelmed
  • It's easier to stay present during difficult moments
  • You feel less need to avoid certain situations
  • Past experiences feel less intrusive in everyday life
BOOK INDIVIDUAL SESSION

You don't need to have a PTSD diagnosis to come to therapy for trauma

You might seek trauma therapy because of a specific event, difficult past experiences, recurring triggers, emotional reactions, avoidance, shutdown or experiences that continue to affect you.

Most people just start with what’s been going on recently, and we go from there.

You can ask questions.
You can take your time deciding.

There’s no pressure to continue if it doesn’t feel right.
