Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Edmonton

Whether it's a single overwhelming event or years of chronic stress, trauma changes how the brain and body respond to perceived threat. That's why willpower and insight alone rarely resolve it, the alarm system needs to be retrained, not just understood.

Garrett works with both single-incident PTSD and complex, developmental trauma. He has particular experience supporting first responders, healthcare practitioners, and adults carrying the imprint of difficult early relationships.

Therapy blends EMDR and the Adaptive Information Processing model with Somatic Experiencing and Self-Regulation Therapy to address the physiological side of trauma, and attachment-based and Internal Family Systems work to make sense of the parts of you shaped by it.

The pace is yours. Garrett prioritizes safety and stabilization first, so you build genuine capacity before approaching the hardest memories. Healing should never re-traumatize.

Clients often describe feeling lighter, more present, and less controlled by the past. Triggers lose their grip. Sleep improves. Relationships feel more possible. You move from surviving to actually living.
