Trauma & PTSD
Because what happened to you still lives in your body.
Trauma doesn’t always come from one dramatic moment, it can also stem from things that never should’ve happened, or support you never received. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a single event or years of emotional pain, trauma has a way of showing up in your body, your relationships, your nervous system. Even when you’re trying to move forward.
You might feel constantly on edge. Or emotionally numb. Or like you’re stuck in a loop of guilt, confusion, anger, or shutdown. You may avoid people, places, or memories that feel unsafe, and still find yourself triggered by things you can’t predict or explain.
At PMPTherapy, we understand that healing from trauma takes more than insight. It takes safety, consistency, and care that’s paced around your nervous system, not someone else’s timeline.
We use EMDR, ACT, mindfulness-based therapies, and parts work to help you feel more grounded in the present and less ruled by the past. Together, we’ll work to build practical, adaptable coping skills while gently exploring the root causes of what’s keeping you stuck.
It’s not just you: Many people blame themselves for not “getting over it.” But trauma, grief, and anxiety don’t work on timelines, and healing isn’t linear.
Anxiety & Panic
Because living in survival mode isn’t sustainable.
Anxiety shows up in different ways for different people. For some, it’s racing thoughts and tight muscles. For others, it’s irritability, exhaustion, or always needing a plan. You might feel like your brain is always “on”, spinning through worst-case scenarios, second-guessing every decision, or trying to stay in control just to feel safe.
And then there’s panic: the sudden surges that feel like your body is short-circuiting, even when nothing obvious triggered it. It can be confusing, scary, and deeply isolating.
At PMPTherapy, we don’t just teach coping strategies, we help you slow down the loop. That means learning to work with your nervous system, not against it. Whether you’re dealing with general anxiety, social fears, health anxiety, or panic attacks, our work together focuses on calming your body, reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, and building a felt sense of safety in the everyday moments.
Did you know? Chronic anxiety isn’t just about thoughts, it’s a full-body response. Calming your system often starts with the body, not the mind.
Grief & Loss
Grief isn’t linear. It isn’t tidy. And it doesn’t follow anyone else’s timeline.
Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a version of your life, or a piece of your identity, grief can be deeply disorienting. You might feel sadness, guilt, relief, anger, or numbness. Sometimes all in the same day.
At PMPTherapy, we don’t rush grief or try to label it as a stage. We hold space for the complicated emotions and help you honour what was lost while making room for what’s next. There is no “right way” to grieve, only your way.
What grief might feel like: Like you’re holding it together on the outside but unraveling on the inside. Like you’re tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix.
Burnout & Overwhelm
Because rest isn’t always enough.
Burnout isn’t just about being tired. It’s a deep, emotional depletion that can come from caregiving, overworking, masking your needs, or holding too much for too long. You might feel irritable, detached, foggy, or like you’re going through the motions on autopilot.
We support clients in untangling what’s draining them, setting healthier boundaries, and reconnecting with themselves in ways that don’t feel like another to-do list. Our work together includes nervous system regulation, emotion processing, and real strategies for restoring your energy and sense of self.
Did you know? Burnout is not a personal failure, it’s often a response to chronic stress or unsustainable expectations.
Life Transitions
When everything shifts-and you don’t know who you are anymore.
Change can be exciting, terrifying, and disorienting all at once. Whether it’s becoming a parent, starting over after a breakup, facing a new diagnosis, or losing a sense of purpose, transitions can shake your identity and leave you feeling unsure of what’s next.
Our therapists help you find steadiness in the in-between. Together, we’ll explore your values, your fears, and the parts of yourself that feel lost or fragmented, so you can move forward with more clarity and trust in yourself.
Did you know? Your brain interprets change as a threat, even when it's something you wanted. That's why big life transitions can feel harder than expected, even if they look "good on paper."
Relationship Struggles
Because even strong relationships can get stuck.
Whether you’re feeling unheard in your marriage, overwhelmed by family dynamics, or unsure how to set boundaries with people you care about, relational stress is deeply personal. You may feel like you’re repeating old patterns, silencing your needs, or constantly bracing for conflict.
At PMPTherapy, we help clients explore their relational patterns with compassion and insight. Through individual therapy or couples therapy, we support you in expressing your needs, navigating conflict, and building relationships that feel safe, honest, and aligned with your values.
Did you know? You don’t have to be in crisis to start relationship therapy. Many clients come in simply wanting to feel more connected, confident, or clear.
