With the right support, healing is possible, and we’re here to help guide you at every step of that journey.
Compassionate Care for Trauma and PTSD in Edmonton
Trauma and PTSD can show up in many ways, including flashbacks, emotional numbness, anxiety, hypervigilance, or a deep sense of disconnection.
These symptoms may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re reliving the past instead of being able to live in the present.
Our team is here to help you understand what you’re experiencing and to support you in finding a path forward that feels right for you.
We’re passionate about helping people heal because we believe no one should have to carry their pain alone.
How Counselling Can Support Healing
Creating a Safe, Supportive Environment
Healing from trauma begins with emotional, physical, and psychological safety. We focus on creating a space where you can speak openly and be met with empathy, patience, and respect.
Understanding Trauma Responses
Many trauma responses are automatic, deeply ingrained reactions that helped you survive at one point. Therapy can help you make sense of these responses and begin to relate to yourself with more compassion and control.
Learning Grounding and Coping Strategies
We’ll work with you to build skills that help you manage triggers, regulate your emotions, and stay connected to the present moment. These tools are practical, accessible, and designed to support your healing both in and outside of therapy.
