Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a widely recognized and effective treatment for PTSD and trauma. This trauma-focused therapy helps you process and reframe distressing memories associated with the traumatic event. Through a series of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR facilitates the brain’s natural healing processes, enabling you to reduce emotional distress linked to trauma and memories.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing focuses on the mind-body connection and aims to help with the release of trauma that is stored in the body. Somatic therapy can allow you to become more aware of the physical sensations associated with trauma and helps regulate the body’s response to stress. This body-focused therapy supports the release of unresolved trauma and facilitates the body's natural healing process
Attachment Based Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy is grounded in the understanding that trauma, especially early childhood trauma, often disrupts attachment bonds and emotional regulation. This therapeutic approach focuses on healing the attachment wounds caused by traumatic experiences. By rebuilding a sense of safety and trust with your therapist, you can explore and heal from past attachment disruptions, improving your emotional well-being and forming healthier relationships.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy is a form of expressive therapy that allows you to process trauma through creative expression. Sometimes words cannot fully capture the depth of your pain, and art provides a means of expressing and processing difficult emotions. Whether through drawing, painting, or sculpture, art therapy can help you release trauma-related emotions in a safe and non-verbal way.
Common Questions About Trauma Therapy
Starting Trauma Therapy Can Feel Scary. Here’s What to Expect:
1. Safety First — Build grounding tools and emotional stability
2. Gentle Processing — Work through trauma at your pace
3. Integration — Feel calmer, safer, and more connected
Note:
You will never be pushed beyond what feels safe.
No. One of the most important aspects of trauma-informed therapy is that it moves at your pace, always.
Absolutely. Your privacy is our priority, and all sessions are conducted in a safe, confidential environment compliant with Ontario’s health privacy legislation, the Personal Health Protection Act (PHIPA).
Confidentiality has its limits to ensure your safety, and the safety of those around you. Your therapist will break confidentiality and are legally required to report if they deem:
- You are at risk of harm to self (suicide)
- You risk harm to others (homicide)
- Child or Elder Abuse
If your therapist is subpoenaed by a judge they are legally obligated to comply and will be required to share records or case notes.
Sessions are often 50 minutes, at True Roots Therapy sessions are the full hour with the option to extend your session to 90 minutes for an additional cost.
Individual Therapy Sessions: $150.00
Couples Therapy Session: $175.00
Family Therapy Sessions: $185.00
We believe therapy should be accessible to those who need it, if you have no (or limited) insurance coverage, please reach out for more information regarding our sliding scale rates.
All therapy rates are tax exempt
Unfortunately, we do not direct bill to insurance companies. However, we do our best to set you up with an easy to access reimbursement process.
Many insurance providers do cover the cost of Psychotherapy services under a Registered Psychotherapist. All of our practitioners are licensed and provide the necessary credentials needed for coverage. We offer detailed invoices and receipts that can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider regarding your amount of coverage.
Short answer is both! We offer virtual sessions on our HIPAA compliant video-platform. We also offer in-person sessions at our cozy office located in Toronto’s East End.
