Healing from Trauma, Finding Security
Trauma Therapy for Children & Youth
Healing from Past Experiences
Trauma-Informed Counselling for Young Survivors
At Catalyst Mind Center, we understand the profound scars trauma can leave on children and youth, from abuse, accidents, or witnessing violence. Our registered psychotherapists offer healing, trauma-informed counselling to help young survivors navigate change with confidence. We prioritize strengthening their resilience, aiding in safe expression, memory integration, and restoring trust through gentle, strength-focused methods.
Trauma in young people often presents through behavior or play rather than words. Our therapists use sensory and narrative tools to unpack events, ease hypervigilance, and rebuild a sense of safety, all while preventing long-term effects. We advocate for caregiver education to bolster mental and emotional health, employing phased approaches for gradual recovery and empowerment.
Common Trauma Effects We Address
Behavioral regressions like bedwetting
Hyperactivity or concentration issues
Withdrawal from play and friends
Somatic symptoms (unexplained pains)
Aggressive outbursts or fear of triggers
Self-blame or a distorted sense of safety
