Healing from trauma takes courage — and connection. Whether you’ve experienced a single distressing event or the cumulative impact of ongoing stress or adversity, trauma therapy at Carbon Psychology offers a safe, supportive space to process, rebuild, and heal. Our Calgary-based and online sessions are designed to help you understand your experiences, regulate emotions, and restore a sense of safety and control in your life.
What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy helps individuals process painful or overwhelming experiences that continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Trauma may result from abuse, accidents, loss, medical events, discrimination, or other circumstances that leave lasting emotional impact.
At Carbon Psychology, our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care and understand how trauma can shape both body and mind. We help you safely unpack those experiences, develop coping skills, and rebuild trust — with yourself and others.
Signs & Symptoms of Trauma
The effects of trauma can appear in many forms, sometimes years after the event. Common signs include:
Feeling on edge, anxious, or easily startled
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Re-experiencing memories, nightmares, or flashbacks
Avoidance of reminders or conversations about the event
Emotional numbness or detachment
Difficulty regulating anger, sadness, or shame
Sleep disturbances or fatigue
Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or stomach pain
Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing — and support is available.
We approach trauma therapy with sensitivity, patience, and expertise. Our team uses evidence-based, trauma-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Every client’s experience is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to your story, goals, and comfort level. You’ll never be rushed or pressured — healing happens at your pace.
Sessions are available in-person in Calgary or online across Alberta and Canada for flexible, confidential care.
