Hello, I am a trauma-informed counsellor with a passion for helping clients overcome complex trauma/CPTSD. Are you struggling with emotional pain, trauma, or difficult life transitions? Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed, and are seeking support to move forward in your life? Are you wishing to feel heard, validated, and supported in a non-judgmental space. Are your goals to develop healthier coping skills, build resilience, and find meaning and purpose in your life? Do you want to heal from your past experiences and improve your emotional well-being, so you can lead a fulfilling life? If so I can help you.

My specialty is in helping clients who have experienced complex trauma. I offer a safe and compassionate space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, and to develop skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and dissociation. I use evidence-based approaches to help clients heal from past trauma and build resilience for the future.

I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, but I want you to know that you don't have to face your struggles alone. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and understood. If you are ready to take the next step

Group Therapy Book Club - CPTSD Focus

Hosted by

Kotone Natasha Frankowski

Learning about trauma and how to heal can be very exciting yet simultaneously overwhelming. My goal is to allow people to ask more detailed questions about the reading, share their emotions & feelings as they come up whilst reading & receive support in processing. This is an affordable onlien alternative to 1:1 counselling or closed group therapy. Wednesdays, 4-5pm (PDT) $10. Jump into the group any time as long as you are caught up on the reading for that session.
