Trauma Focused

Trauma-focused therapy is a general approach that recognizes how a traumatic experience can affect your mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual well-being, and puts that impact at the center of the work. Your therapist helps you process what happened, build coping strategies, and strengthen resilience at a pace that feels manageable to you.

It supports people navigating the effects of a single traumatic event or ongoing/complex trauma, and is often the starting frame a therapist brings to more specific trauma techniques like EMDR or TF-CBT. It's available virtually across Canada through Shift Collab.
