Rising Warrior was built for those who serve. We provide trauma-informed psychotherapy and neurofeedback for Canadian Armed Forces Veterans, RCMP members, and First Responders, along with the families who serve alongside them.

Who We Support

• Veterans (Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP)
• Police and Law Enforcement
• Firefighters
• Paramedics and EMS
• Correctional Officers
• Dispatchers and other Public Safety Personnel
• Veteran and First Responder families

While supporting those who serve is our focus, our doors are open to everyone. Trauma is trauma. Civilians seeking support for traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions are welcome at our clinic.

We Understand the Culture of Service

Effective care requires more than discussing symptoms. It requires an understanding of service and first responder culture, operational demands, chain of command dynamics, cumulative trauma exposure, transition stress, and the realities of service life. Our team includes clinicians with extensive experience supporting those who serve, and our approach is trauma-informed, culturally competent, and grounded in respect for lived experience.

Operational Stress Injuries and PTSD

Repeated exposure to high-stress, traumatic, and morally challenging situations can affect the nervous system, emotional well-being, relationships, physical health, and sense of identity. These responses are not signs of weakness. They are understandable reactions to prolonged operational stress. Learn more about Operational Stress Injuries and PTSD.
