Trauma Recovery with Taylor Rae
Counselling therapy
As a trauma focused therapist, Taylor is passionate about guiding people through transformative experiences that nurture not just the mind but also the body. She is most known for her direct yet compassionate approach. This can look like chill coffee and counselling one day and fierce advocacy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) the next.
Her ability to show up as her clients need her is from training in both social work and counselling psychology – a unique blend that sets her apart from other therapists.
She has been referred to as a ‘firecracker’ and is routinely sought out by first-responders like RCMP, front-line staff such as ER nurses, and military Veterans. These populations appreciate that Taylor loves someone in law enforcement, because it makes relating easier.
With a grad school focus on crisis and trauma counselling, and more than a decade in front-line human services—including child protection, federal corrections, and medical intensive care—she brings profound expertise and lived experience in resilience, burnout, grief, and most of all - human connection. If you’re ready to work hard and sick of band-aids, then she might be the right fit for you!
