Trauma Informed
Care that considers safety, choice, trust, collaboration and the impact of experience.
Therapy that meets you with care, clarity and respect.
Our independent integrated clinical team supports individuals, couples and families through trauma informed care in Ottawa and virtually across Ontario.
There is no single path through healing.
You may arrive with a clear concern, a long history that feels difficult to name or simply the sense that something needs to change. Therapy begins by understanding your experience, strengths, relationships and goals.
Our clinicians draw from different evidence informed approaches and adapt the work to the person in front of them. Pace, consent, culture, identity and safety remain part of the conversation.
Collaborative
Goals and methods are discussed with you rather than imposed without explanation.
Responsive
Your therapist can adjust pace and approach as needs, capacity and circumstances change.
