At our North York mental wellness clinic, we understand that trauma can affect anyone, and we’re committed to providing an empathetic, safe, and supportive atmosphere. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect in your first trauma-informed care session and how our approach puts your wellbeing first.

Understanding Trauma-Informed Care in North York

What Happens in Your First Session?

In your first trauma-informed session, you'll have a gentle conversation about what brings you in, your goals, and any concerns you have. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. The therapist will explain boundaries, privacy, and how sessions will be structured, so you always feel informed and empowered. Trust and rapport are built at your own pace.

Collaboration and Empowerment

Our approach ensures you play an active role in your healing process. Therapists collaborate with you on coping strategies, self-care routines, and personalized goals while emphasizing strengths you already possess. You’re always in control of your journey, and support is available every step of the way. For more about our services, see our trauma-informed care page.
