At Rise & Shine Counselling, our goal is to help every person feel...
CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED
UNDERSTOOD & RESPECTED
SAFE & GROUNDED
"You don't have to pretend everything is okay."
Trauma can leave deep wounds that affect your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. Whether it’s from a single event or ongoing experiences, trauma can impact your emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. You may struggle with anxiety, flashbacks, numbness, or difficulty feeling grounded and present in your life.
​
​Even when the immediate danger has passed, trauma can linger, making it difficult to move forward or trust yourself and others. The impact is often complex and personal, affecting many parts of your life. Through compassionate guidance, you can work to restore your sense of safety, develop coping skills, and begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others. Healing is possible, even after deep wounds.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we're here to walk beside you on your mental health journey.

Restoring Safety in Your Body
Our experienced therapists help you feel grounded, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop supportive coping practices that foster greater stability, resilience, and connection in your daily life.
Trauma and PTSD therapy includes a range of evidence-based approaches designed to help individuals process past distressing experiences, reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and improve daily functioning. Depending on your needs, therapy may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster psychological flexibility and value-driven action.
​
Therapists may also incorporate practical tools such as grounding techniques, mindfulness exercises, and journaling to help you build effective coping strategies and enhance safety and stability in everyday life.
​
Seeking trauma-informed support can be a meaningful step toward understanding your responses, reducing symptoms like hypervigilance or avoidance, and rebuilding a sense of safety and empowerment. At Rise & Shine Counselling Vancouver, our therapists tailor each approach to your unique experiences and goals.

Together, these trauma-informed approaches provide practical tools to reduce triggers, build resilience, and support long-term healing.

ABOUT US
Why Work With
Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness
"Where healing turns into growth, and growth turns into joy."
So often, we know deep down what we need to feel fulfilled, but something gets in the way. We fall into patterns that no longer serve us, in our relationships, our work, or how we care for ourselves. Over time, those habits quietly shape our days, and our days become our lives.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we believe that change is always possible. With the right support, you can break free from old cycles, reconnect with what truly matters, and start living in alignment with your values and goals.
​
We’re inspired by the idea that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. Rather, it’s about uncovering who you’ve been all along. Together, we’ll help you rediscover your confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose so you can rise into a life that feels grounded, intentional, and full of possibility.
