Trauma

Therapy for Trauma

When working with trauma in therapy, it’s important to connect with a therapist who provides safety and non-judgmental compassion to their clients. At Mantra Psychotherapy, we approach trauma as a broad concept, supporting our clients to navigate through adverse events and periods of time in their lives. We first support our clients to gain stability and then support them in navigating trauma and mitigating its impact on their daily lives.

Trauma Is More Common Than You Think — And Healing Is Possible

Many people experience some form of trauma in their lives, and its effects can ripple far and wide — showing up as depression, anxiety, physical disturbances, or difficulties in relationships. At Mantra Psychotherapy, we offer a compassionate and understanding space where you don't have to navigate those effects alone. We are here to help you make sense of what you've been through and find a path forward.

A Treatment Plan Built Around Your Needs

There is no single road to healing from trauma, and we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our experienced therapists work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs and goals — whether that involves in-session processing of traumatic experiences, self-care planning, psychoeducation around trauma and its effects, or a combination of all three.

Empathy and Trust at Every Step

We understand that engaging with trauma requires safety, and building that safety takes time. Empathy is at the core of everything we do, and we prioritize creating a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and openness. You will never be pushed further or faster than you're ready to go — our role is to walk alongside you, at your pace, every step of the way.

Moving Toward Healing and Resilience

Recovery from trauma is not about erasing the past — it's about reclaiming your life. At Mantra Psychotherapy, we are committed to empowering you with the tools, insights, and support needed to heal and build lasting resilience. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here for every part of that journey.

How it works

What to Expect When Starting Therapy

We believe the therapeutic journey should feel as comfortable as possible — here's what that looks like.

Final Session — Closing the Chapter

Endings in therapy are treated with the same care as everything else. Your last session is an opportunity to reflect on how far you've come, celebrate your growth, and make sure you feel equipped to carry what you've learned forward. The aim of the final session is to be a thoughtful, intentional close that honours the work you've done.

Sessions 3 & Beyond — Doing the Work

This is where the real momentum begins. With a strong therapeutic relationship in place, you and your therapist will start working more deeply — exploring patterns, building skills, and working toward the goals you've set together. Every person's journey looks different here, and your therapist will continuously adapt the approach to meet your evolving needs. Progress isn't always linear, and that's okay — this space is designed to hold all of it.

Sessions 1 & 2 — Getting to Know You

Your first sessions are all about building a foundation. Your therapist will take time to understand your history, your goals, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You won't be pushed to dive into anything before you're ready. These sessions are about establishing trust, setting the tone, and making sure the direction of your work together feels right for you.

Your Initial Consultation Free 15 Minute Call

This is a no-pressure conversation where you and the therapist get to know each other. You'll have the chance to share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and get a feel for whether you might be a good fit. There's no expectation to share everything — this is simply about making sure you feel comfortable before you begin.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?
In your first session, your therapist will spend time getting to know you and your history. They will ask questions about your presenting issue(s) and explore your goals and how they can support you in reaching these goals.
Are your services covered by insurance?
Most often, yes. Since our all of our therapists are registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) or the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), their services are usually covered by extended health insurance plans. However, we always advise you to check your specific plan to ensure that the therapist you choose to work with is covered.
Do you offer direct billing to insurance?
Some of our therapists can offer direct billing to certain insurance providers. However, most therapists collect payment via e-transfer or credit card, and a receipt is given for you to submit to your insurance provider.
Do your therapists offer a reduced rate (e.g., sliding scale)?
Sliding scale rates can be discussed the therapist during your free 15-minute consultation. Each therapist's sliding scale fee range is different, and sliding scale fees are based on the client's financial need. Please note that therapists typically have a fixed number of sliding scale slots.
