Cindy Shrigley

Registered Social Worker

Centre for Trauma and Stress

I specialize in treating a wide range of conditions including anxiety, depression, addictions, past, and current trauma. I have expertise in EMDR therapy and am certified as an EMDRIA-approved consultant. I have trained with world experts in the applications of EMDR for grief, traumatic grief, complex trauma, and dissociation, as well as peak performance. I am also trained in DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting), a therapy to help treat shock and trauma. In my clinical practice, I assist people in developing an understanding of the new science of the human brain that allows them to develop compassion for themselves and an understanding of the reasons for their symptoms.In my 35 years of counselling it has been important to me to find treatment strategies that provide the best results for clients. EMDR therapy and DBR therapy can be used for many issues and I have been able to successfully to treat conditions that standard talk therapy has been unable to address.I am in private practice. I provide both EMDR consultation and DBR consultation to trained therapists internationally via secure video conferencing. While I am only seeing clients virtually, I still try to foster an inviting, confidential, and healing space where clients can come to understand that all human issues are universal and leave the session with a feeling of hope that help is available.
