Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or constantly on edge. Whether your experiences were recent or long ago, the impact can show up in your body, relationships, and daily life. Therapy offers a grounded, supportive space to gently process what’s happened and begin healing.

TRAUMA THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN HAMILTON

How Therapy Can Help

Trauma therapy helps you build safety, make sense of your story, and reconnect with your sense of agency. It’s not about re-living the past—it's about finding ways to move forward with compassion for what you've been through.

  • Reclaim a sense of safety and control in your body and mind

  • Develop coping tools to manage triggers

  • Gently process painful memories without overwhelm

  • Rebuild trust in yourself and others

Our Approach

We take a trauma-informed and client-paced approach, working with your nervous system—not against it. Our goal is to support healing without rushing or reactivating.

  • Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Work: Regulate overwhelm and restore body-based safety

  • IFS & Parts Work: Tend to younger parts of you that may still carry pain

  • EMDR (if applicable): Gently reprocess trauma to reduce emotional charge (add only if offered)

  • Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques: Increase stability and presence

  • Attachment-Focused Therapy: Explore how past relationships shape current patterns

  • How much are sessions?
    Emily Grunthal 50-minute sessions are $160. All Associate Therapists 50-minute sessions are $145. We are currently, accepting sliding scale clients! Please note: As of September 2024, psychotherapy is now tax-exempt! Session fees are flat charges. We aim to make therapy accessible and offer a sliding scale for those in need.
  • How much therapy do I need?
    This is completely up to you and is unique for each person we work with. Some people find that weekly sessions are helpful, others find that coming bi-weekly or monthly visits fit better with their schedule. When coming regularly, most people report noticing change(s) after 8–10 sessions. Some people prefer to go with "lifestyle" counselling, where they pop in when needed. We typically suggest you attend therapy weekly for at least a month, so your therapist can gain an understanding of your life, background, and current challenges. Then, perhaps you switch to bi-weekly for several months. After this time, we will work together to come up with a treatment schedule that fits your goals and lifestyle. However, therapy at Noia Wellness is designed to be personalized. Book a free consultation today to chat more with us.
  • What's walk & talk therapy?

If you're a new client and interested in walking, we require an initial session, plus a follow-up session before starting walk & talk therapy. You can read more about Nature-based therapy on our website.

    We do not bill directly to insurance companies. You can, however, submit your receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement of some services. Check with your insurance to see if Registered Psychotherapy is covered. If you're interested in Walk & Talk therapy, we also suggest double-checking with your provider to see if "gentle walking, registered psychotherapy" is covered.
  • What is psychotherapy and how can it help me?

At Noia Wellness, our focus is on providing a holistic approach to psychotherapy, integrating traditional talk therapy with other psychotherapy treatment interventions. We work with clients to identify patterns and beliefs that may be impacting their mental health, while also incorporating body-based interventions to reduce stress in the nervous system and promote self-awareness.

At Noia Wellness, we believe in providing compassionate and personalized care to help our clients lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, ensuring they feel seen and heard for who they truly are.
