Trauma Therapy Sherwood Park

Some pain stays with us long after the moment has passed. At Psychology in the Park, we offer trauma therapy in Sherwood Park that honours your lived experiences and supports real healing, not surface fixes.

When It’s Too Heavy to Carry Alone

Trauma doesn’t always look the way people expect it to. It’s not just car accidents or major disasters.

It’s also the heartbreaks, betrayals, and ongoing stress that leave a lasting impact on how you feel, think, and function day to day. 

It often hides in day-to-day reactions like shutting down in conversations or feeling flooded by small triggers.

Our trauma therapy services are here to support our clients in unpacking these experiences gently and respectfully.

Clients come to us with a range of trauma-related concerns, including:

  • PTSD and symptoms from a single traumatic event

  • Childhood abuse or neglect

  • Domestic violence or toxic relationships

  • Medical trauma

  • Grief and complicated loss

  • Dissociation or emotional numbness

  • Hypervigilance and startle response

  • Intrusive memories or nightmares

  • Chronic stress and burnout rooted in past experiences

Every story is different, and so is the path forward. We work collaboratively to understand your unique needs and offer therapy that meets you right where you are.

We’re proud to serve clients throughout Sherwood Park, Edmonton, and nearby communities.

You Deserve a Safe Place to Heal

Trauma changes things. It can shift how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how safe the world feels. 

And while the past can’t be erased, healing is still possible. You can learn to feel grounded again. You can begin to trust your body, your relationships, and your instincts.

Therapy is one way to start that process.

At Psychology In The Park, our approach to trauma work is paced and personalized. We don’t rush. We listen closely. 

Depending on your comfort and goals, your therapist may draw from a variety of evidence-based methods, some that focus on body awareness, some that address thought patterns, and others that help process memory and emotion safely.

    Personalized Client Matching

    We start with who you are, not just what you’ve been through. Our intake process is designed to understand your story and match you with a therapist who has the experience, sensitivity, and therapeutic style that fits. We want you to feel seen and supported, not just booked into the next available spot.

    Compassionate, Non-Clinical Approach

    We’ve created a practice that feels more like a conversation and less like an evaluation. Our therapists lead with warmth, honesty, and presence. You won’t be analyzed from a distance—you’ll be met with genuine curiosity and care. It's okay to show up messy or unsure.

    Diverse and Inclusive Practice

    Your identity, history, and culture matter. Our team brings diverse backgrounds and perspectives to the work, allowing us to connect with clients from a wide range of communities. We create space for your whole self. No part of you has to be left at the door.

  • Trauma-Informed Services

    Our therapists are trained in trauma-sensitive approaches that honour the nervous system and the emotional weight of your experience. That means no pressure to "open up" before you’re ready, no pathologizing your reactions, and no judgment around coping strategies. Safety is a key part of healing, and we take that seriously.

What to Expect From Trauma Therapy

Getting started doesn’t have to be overwhelming. 

When you reach out, we’ll talk briefly about what’s going on for you and how we can help. 

After that, we’ll match you with a therapist based on your preferences and their areas of training. 

Your first session will be a chance to get to know each other, discuss what brings you in, and figure out next steps together.

Trauma therapy at Psychology In The Park may include:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Used to help process traumatic memories in a safe, structured way

  • Somatic Therapy: Focuses on body-based healing, nervous system regulation, and reconnecting with felt sense

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Helps explore and understand inner parts shaped by trauma

  • Narrative Therapy: Supports you in rewriting the stories that have kept you stuck

  • Mindfulness-Based Practices: Builds awareness and presence without reactivating distress

  • Trauma-Focused CBT: Combines trauma understanding with strategies for reframing and coping

You’re not broken. You adapted. And now you get to decide what healing looks like for you.

Many trauma responses were once survival strategies. Therapy helps you gently shift those patterns when they’re no longer serving you.

Take the next step when you're ready. There’s no timeline, no pressure. Just support when you need it most.
