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.


How Trauma & PTSD Therapy Helps

Our therapists use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Somatic Therapy, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, to help you:

  • Build safety and grounding skills

  • Process and make sense of traumatic experiences

  • Reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and triggers

  • Regulate emotions and calm your nervous system

  • Rebuild trust in yourself and others

  • Strengthen resilience and restore hope


Why Choose Online Therapy in Toronto?

Toronto’s busy lifestyle can make it difficult to find time for therapy, especially when trauma symptoms feel overwhelming. Online therapy offers:

  • Safety – access support from a space that feels secure

  • Flexibility – schedule therapy around your needs and routines

  • Accessibility – licensed Ontario therapists available wherever you are in Toronto

  • Comfort – tailor your environment (lighting, sounds, pacing) to feel grounded during sessions


Everyday Supports for Trauma Recovery

Alongside therapy, small practices can support your healing:

  • Practice grounding techniques when triggered (e.g., 5-4-3-2-1 exercise)

  • Build calming routines for rest and recovery

  • Connect with safe, supportive people

  • Use mindfulness or breathing to manage hyperarousal

  • Remind yourself that recovery takes time and gentleness
