Things to know about Trauma Treatment

Feeling Stuck After Trauma? You're Not Alone.

Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind—it can reshape the way you see the world, your relationships, and even yourself. Whether it was a single distressing event or repeated exposure to difficult experiences, trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological effects. Trauma can look different for everyone. Sometimes, symptoms appear quickly. Other times, they emerge months—or even years—later.

We’re Here to Help You Reclaim Control

At Connect Corner Clinic, our psychologists and mental health social workers are trained in trauma-informed approaches that create a safe and supportive space to heal.

Starting Therapy for Trauma Can Feel Daunting — We're here to empower you.

If you’re here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or even scared about starting therapy. It's how any person would feel when they are carrying the weight of past trauma, painful memories, or emotional difficulties that feel too big to manage alone. The truth is, just getting to this page is an act of courage. And we’re here to walk alongside you as you take the next step.

We use several evidence-based approaches tailored to help people who have experienced trauma. Our aim is to offer a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering, where healing is possible. Whether it was something recent, something long ago, or something you’re still living through, we're here to help.

“But What If I’m Not Ready to Talk About Everything Yet?”

That’s okay.

You don’t have to share your whole story on the first day — or even the tenth. Trauma therapy moves at your pace, with your goals in mind. The role of your therapist isn’t to pressure or push, but to gently support you in building tools to feel more in control of your emotions, your memories, and your life.

Let us introduce you to some of the approaches we use — so you can understand what’s available and begin to imagine what support could look like for you (or your child).

What to Look For in a Therapist who has the skills to meet your needs

It’s important to feel safe and supported. Look for someone who:

1. Is experienced in trauma-focused therapies like TF-CBT, EMDR, or DBT

2. Offers a warm, non-judgemental space where you feel heard

3. Moves at your pace and keeps you informed about your progress
