Processing Trauma

Are you carrying painful memories that still echo each day? Trauma-Informed Counselling offers a gentle, supportive space where you can feel safe, understood, and guided toward renewed hope.

​

What is Processing Trauma?

Trauma-informed counselling is where a registered social worker guides you through evidence-based techniques—such as grounding, cognitive restructuring, and narrative exposure —to help you live in the present and have hope for the future despite past events. In person in Sudbury or online across Ontario, we offer a safe space to understand your experiences, reduce triggers, and improve overall well-being.
