TRAUMA THERAPIST

Hi, I´m Shawna Leighton

AT THE HEART OF MY WORK AS A TRAUMA THERAPIST IS THE BELIEF THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL HOLDS WITHIN THEM HIDDEN GEMS—UNIQUE EXPERIENCES, TALENTS, AND STORIES WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.

I am committed to uncovering these untold narratives and empowering you to recognize your own value and potential. By fostering a space where your voice can be heard and your story can be shared, I aim to inspire growth, connection, and a deeper understanding of the richness within each person. Through this journey of discovery, I strive to illuminate the untapped brilliance that resides in all of us, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. As a trauma therapist, I employ a diverse range of modalities tailored to address your unique needs. I create a space of acceptance where I honour the wholeness of each person through a trauma-informed, feminist, queer-centered, and culturally aware framework. Through the integration of somatic and narrative therapies, I facilitate the exploration of untold stories within the mind, body, and soul, nurturing healing and growth. I invite you to reach out and begin your journey toward healing. I look forward to exploring how we can work together to address your unique needs.
