Break Free from Symptoms of Trauma and with the help from our Expert Counsellors
We’re experienced counsellors in Kitsilano using leading methods that can help you heal from troubling or disturbing experiences….
We understand the feelings, thinking, and behaviours associated with trauma.
You may feel confused, sad, and worthless. You are not alone. Most people learn to manage emotions, use healthy coping, change behaviours, challenge thoughts, and get unstuck to feel better
Emotional trauma from childhood neglect
The primary needs of a child are for love, safety and protection. If these needs are unmet, or worse violated, the consequences can be traumatic and last a lifetime.
Childhood trauma can have a lifelong effect. And while kids are resilient, they’re not made of stone.
Simply put, traumatic experiences make it difficult to become who we are fully capable of becoming.
Without childhood trauma counselling, there are many adverse effects that an individual can experience in their adult life. Many adults experience some form of mental health disorder, such as anxiety, panic disorder, or PTSD.

Therapy with our Kitsilano counsellors can help you:
As humans, we have to process things. This can make us loop or even feel stuck in a pattern of behaviour or thought. You can feel regularly stressed out, angry, and even depressed.
When you have been through a traumatic event, information can struggle to be processed. This can leave the trauma trapped in your mind and body. We help people release this trauma to restore their minds and body to a regulated state.
The sooner you get help, the sooner you’ll be on your way to enjoying a more relaxed, stable and enjoyable life. If you live in Kitsilano, please call (604) 828-7186
