Angela Larmer provides evidence-based mental health services to individuals across Ontario, offering psychotherapy within a trauma-informed, client-centered framework, supporting a range of concerns including post-traumatic stress, trauma related symptoms, grief, loss and life transitions, phobias and work related stress. She is passionate about helping first responders and veteran.

I am a trauma-informed, culturally responsive psychotherapist and registered nurse with over 25 years' experience in supporting individuals in a holistic person centered way. I believe that people heal by looking at ‘what has happened’ to them and not with a lens of ‘what is wrong’ with them.

Together we will explore how your past is present in your daily behaviours, thoughts and beliefs. I integrate therapy with a wide range of approaches that focus on stabilization and safety, working through and processing acute and complex trauma symptoms, emotions and memories so that you can live a life that feels more connected and joyful.
