Trauma therapy

Some experiences stay with us long after they're over. It might be something that happened once, or something that went on for years. It might be recent, or from long ago. Either way, it can shape how you feel, how you sleep, how you trust, and how you see yourself.

At Feel-Good Therapy, we offer individual therapy for adults working with difficult past experiences, in person in Newmarket and online anywhere in Ontario.

How people describe it

"I've been through something difficult and I can't seem to move past it."

"I feel on edge, or numb, and I don't know why."

"Something small sets me off and I can't explain it."

"I keep thinking it should be behind me by now."

"I don't want to go over it all again."

You don't need a diagnosis or the right words to begin.

How we work

Our approach is narrative and solution-focused. In narrative therapy, the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. We don't see you as damaged by what happened. We get curious about how it has affected your life, and about the ways you responded and protected yourself, which often say a great deal about what matters to you.

We also pay attention to what hasn't been taken from you: your values, your relationships, and the moments when you coped with something hard. Solution-focused questions keep us oriented toward what you want your life to look like, without requiring you to relive the past.

You decide what to share and when. You do not have to tell the whole story in order to begin, and you set the pace.
