Trauma specific therapy downtown and online! You have dedicated your life's work on the front lines, helping others in your community. You are a community member, counsellor, social worker, a teacher, a therapist, a police officer or paramedic, a nurse, a physician, a peer support worker, etc. We are skilled professionals who have specialized in working with helpers. We often call ourselves "therapists for therapists". We also work with first responders, teachers and healthcare professionals. We have understanding of the costs of caring and can support you while you are carrying the trauma stories of your clients or community.
We are GLBTQ2S+ allied and are trans-health advocates. We treat trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction. We provide support for vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, burnout, operational stress injury and PTSD. We also provide assessment and referral for addiction treatment, follow up and aftercare or harm reduction approaches.
We believe that folks are often find it difficult to ask for help. We also appreciate that when the time comes where you need support you don't want to have to navigate a healthcare system that may not understand your specific needs. Our mission is to provide safer, confidential, psychotherapy services to those who live in our community.
