Welcoming New Online Clients: Specialized Trauma & PTSD Therapy in Ontario and Across Canada

Are you carrying the weight of experiences that feel overwhelming, whether from service as a veteran, first responder, or other life challenges? The memories can manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, or emotional numbness, affecting your daily life.

Imagine feeling on edge in places that once felt safe, or avoiding certain situations, people, or emotions just to get through the day. These are not mere figments of your imagination; they are your mind and body’s natural responses, striving to protect you.

You Are Not Alone, and You Are Not Broken.

I’m Maribel Ayala, a Registered Psychotherapist, EMDR Certified Therapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor

 I specialize in trauma therapy, serving veterans, first responders, and anyone experiencing anxiety, trauma, or PTSD across Ontario and Canada.

With years of dedicated experience, I understand the profound impact that trauma and PTSD can have on your life. My practice offers a compassionate and empathetic environment where you can feel safe and understood. Whether you’re a veteran, first responder, or dealing with other life stressors, my approach is tailored to your unique journey.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, EMDR Certified Therapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor, I provide expert online care to clients across Ontario and Canada, offering a compassionate and empathetic environment where you can feel safe and understood. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy and expertise, ensuring that you receive the highest level of care tailored to your unique needs.

With advanced training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Clinical Hypnosis, and Somatic Experiencing, I utilize a range of evidence-based approaches to meet you where you are. Whether you’re just beginning to explore therapy or are returning to delve deeper into your healing, I am committed to working at your pace, honouring your story, and supporting your growth.

I am a proud mental health provider with Veterans Affairs Canada and WSIB. I offer flexible scheduling, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to accommodate your needs.

Common Challenges I Help With

I have a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life, including veterans, first responders, and the general population. Many of my clients experience:

• Flashbacks or distressing memories that seem to arise unexpectedly
• Intense emotional reactions to triggers, often without knowing the cause
• Difficulty trusting others or feeling emotionally connected
• Avoidance of people, places, or conversations that bring back painful memories
• Sleep disturbances, hypervigilance, or a persistent sense of unease
• A feeling of disconnection from themselves or their loved ones

Experiencing these symptoms doesn’t mean you’ve failed; they are indicators of unresolved trauma. Through trauma-focused therapy, we can gently begin to shift these patterns and guide you towards finding relief and healing.

I am here to offer a compassionate and supportive environment where you can explore these experiences without judgment. Together, we will work towards healing and resilience, helping you regain a sense of peace and connection in your life.
