Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Toronto
Understanding Trauma in a Fast-Paced City
Living in Toronto comes with its own stresses; but for those who’ve experienced trauma, the city’s pace and constant demands can sometimes feel overwhelming. Trauma can stem from experiences like abuse, violence, accidents, medical events, loss, or ongoing stress, and its effects can linger long after the event has passed.
At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide online trauma and PTSD therapy for clients in Toronto and across Ontario, creating a safe and supportive space to process experiences, manage symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and control.
How Trauma Can Show Up
Trauma affects people differently, but common symptoms include:
-
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
-
Feeling “on edge” or hypervigilant
-
Emotional numbness or disconnection
-
Difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships
-
Trouble sleeping or concentrating
-
Depression, anxiety, or ongoing feelings of danger
You are not defined by what happened to you. Therapy can help you begin to heal and regain a sense of stability.

Regulate emotions and calm your nervous system
