Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Edmonton & St. Albert

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, on edge, or not like yourself โ€” therapy can help you heal at your own pace.

Signs you may benefit from support

  • Flashbacks, nightmares or unwanted memories

  • Feeling constantly on guard, jumpy or easily startled

  • Avoiding reminders of what happened

  • Feeling numb, disconnected or detached from yourself

  • Strong reactions of anger, shame or fear that feel out of proportion

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships

How therapy at ReFocus You helps

Trauma therapy at ReFocus You is paced around your sense of safety. You stay in control of what you share and when. Depending on your needs, your therapist may use:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. What to expect from EMDR

  • Trauma-focused CBT and Prolonged Exposure to reduce avoidance and fear

  • Somatic and grounding skills to calm your nervous system

  • Attachment-informed therapy for trauma that happened in relationships or in childhood

We support people after car accidents, workplace incidents, abuse, loss, medical trauma and other overwhelming experiences. That includes first responders and veterans, and we complete Veterans Affairs Canada assessments.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to talk about every detail of what happened?

No. Many trauma therapies, including EMDR, don't require you to describe everything in detail. Your therapist will go at a pace that feels manageable.

Is therapy after a car accident covered?

Usually, yes. In Alberta, auto insurance must cover treatment for accident-related injuries, including psychological ones, and we direct bill auto insurers. Learn about MVA therapy.

Can trauma from childhood be treated as an adult?
