Lindsay O'Neil Trauma and Psychotherapy Services

Our licensed therapists use evidence-based techniques to help you heal from the psychological impact of trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) offers elements of a variety of evidence-based counselling services, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, and acceptance and commitment therapy. All helpful at regulating the brain, body, and nervous system. Our model also incorporates mindfulness, somatic work, grounding activities, drawing, and meditation. The goal of trauma therapy is to move beyond our traumas by creating a new neural template  for what happened; decreasing the intense emotions and somatic experiences that trauma has caused in our lives.We provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences and develop strategies to move forward. 

Couples and family therapy strategies aim to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. Common approaches include the Gottman Method, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which utilize techniques like reflective listening, identifying negative patterns, and reframing communication. Family therapy often focuses on improving family structure, dynamics, and communication, with methods like structural and strategic therapy. 

Our psychotherapy, or talk therapy, services can help you achieve your personal and professional goals. Our experienced therapists provide guidance, support, and motivation to help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve success in all areas of your life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a structured technique that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. It helps people move through the trauma by accessing parts of the brain that might not normally be active during a traumatic event. It helps the brain learn that the trauma is over.   

The goal is to desensitize the memory, reducing its emotional intensity, and help the brain reprocess the experience in a way that it is no longer distressing.
