Our Approach to PTSD Trauma Therapy in Kincardine, Ontario
Our therapeutic approach is centered in attunement. The primary focus for our therapy team is being present and grounded, giving you space to hear your inner wisdom and find connection within. At Attuned Therapy + Wellness, we believe that we all have the capacity to heal & to reconnect with our authenticity. It is through relationship that we learn to fully become who we really are, releasing the burdens of the past. Through various modalities, our Attuned Therapy team supports clients to feel at ease in their bodies, allowing more joyful presence into their lives.
When entering into a client-therapist relationship, please know that we take your safety seriously. Trauma is not something to play with, and we maintain attunement with you, going at a pace that you are comfortable with. We know that it can be difficult to take the first step in processing past traumatic events, and we never push clients to work with any material that is dysregulating. Often, clients must first feel safe, both in the therapeutic relationship and within their lives outside therapy. We support our clients through nervous system regulation techniques, encourage self-care practices and boundary maintenance before beginning to process any triggering material.
“No recovery from trauma is possible without attending to issues of safety, care for the self, reparative connections to other human beings, and a renewed faith in the universe. The therapist’s job is not just to be a witness to this process but to teach the patient how.”
PTSD Trauma Therapy Focuses
Trauma therapy can help with the following symptoms and life challenges:
- Flashbacks: Releasing traumatic materials that resurface through memory flashbacks, emotional flashbacks, dreams and nightmares, physical reactions that are related to the traumatic event.
- Hypervigilance: Supporting the nervous system to become at rest after being switched “on” for an extended period of time. Reduction in tension, exhaustion and overwhelm.
- Living in Fear: Letting go of past pain allows us to trust ourselves and others more, creating a reduction of fear-based decision-making. Clients learn how to feel safe in the world again, trusting that they will be cared for and supported in their life. Avoidance of traumatic stimuli gradually lessens over time.
- Anxiety & Depression Symptoms: Learning how to live in a regulated state after a significant traumatic event requires support. Client learn how to prioritize their well-being again, releasing guilt and shame that can result in anxious or depressive symptoms.
- Specialized, Focused Trauma Therapy: Trauma therapy for traumatic birth, trauma processing after significant life events, medical trauma, trauma related to working in healthcare – these are all areas of focus that our team specialize in.

EMDR Therapy
A trauma-focused therapy that helps clients process and integrate traumatic memories to reduce distress and promote emotional regulation.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy that uses the visual field to access and process stored trauma. It’s especially effective for emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and performance blocks.
CBT for Trauma

Emotion Focused Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapeutic approach that helps clients identify, explore, and transform their emotions to improve self-awareness, relationships, and overall emotional well-being.
Internal Family Systems
IFS is a gentle, respectful approach that helps you explore the different “parts” of yourself — like the inner critic, the overwhelmed part, or the part that wants to shut down. It’s especially helpful for healing trauma, improving self-understanding, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
Compassionate Inquiry
Developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, this approach gently uncovers the unconscious beliefs and emotional patterns that shape how we live, relate, and suffer. It emphasizes presence, compassion, and connection.
