Group EMDR Therapy is a brief and targeted intervention to help you reduce PTSD/acute distress from a traumatic event, while also strengthening your grounding and stabilization skills. We implement a specific EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) in our EMDR Therapy Groups. Groups (between 2-10 people) meet either in person at our Burlington office or remotely and facilitated by a Certified EMDR Therapist (Christina Janiga). Our groups provide a supportive space where you DO NOT have to talk about your trauma AND still have the opportunity to reprocess it through guided instructions incorporating eye movements.

As there is no "one size fits all" approach to psychotherapy, I offer various therapeutic techniques to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, and difficult life transitions.
I work from a client-centered approach to help you unpack your complicated life circumstances, and help you find new ways of coping, communicating, and moving forward. Some therapeutic techniques that I employ are Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) (informed), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR Therapy.

This burden can be amplified by the anxiety and distress that frequently accompany pain, health-related challenges, and traumatic experiences.
Recognizing that each client is unique, I utilize an integrative approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities. CBT, ACT and EFT can help reshape negative thought patterns, increase relaxation, and help empower and uncover your inner strengths and resources to instil a sense of agency and control over your emotions and experiences.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. If you’re exhausted from always being the strong one-pushing through, holding it together, and barely making it through the day-you’re not alone. The weight of trauma and anxiety has only grown heavier and it’s understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Healing doesn’t have to be a solo journey. I’m a trauma therapist, and I offer a space where you can finally exhale—where your shoulders can relax, and you can find moments of peace amid the chaos. Together, we can explore new ways to care for yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build the support you deserve.

I work with young people and adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or cumulative stress, and want to develop a sense of well-being and emotional stability. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic (body-based) psychotherapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma - childhood abuse, neglect, or caregiver misattunement. Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations and movement impulses. This allows the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

You’ve always been the one who holds it together—smart, thoughtful, resourceful. But lately, it’s like you've hit a wall. Maybe you're stuck in a big life transition, overthinking every move, or trying to juggle everything while your brain refuses to cooperate. Whether it’s burnout, anxiety, stress, or just a nagging sense that something’s off, you’re tired of powering through. I have 5+ years of experience working with individuals navigating life transitions and challenges such as relationships (romantic, family, friend, or workplace), stress, anxiety, ADHD (diagnosed or suspected), self-esteem, depression, trauma, and grief.

Chronic Pain Support Groups
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophising, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
