Trauma Therapy, EMDR & Brainspotting in Victoria, BC

If you are struggling with the effects of trauma, anxiety, PTSD, attachment wounds, chronic stress, or overwhelming life experiences, you do not have to navigate them alone.

At Summit MindBody Wellness, I provide EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting, and trauma-informed counselling in Victoria, BC to help adults heal from difficult experiences, better understand their nervous system, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I'm Rhian Gilbert, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), trauma therapist, and owner of Summit MindBody Wellness. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, develop greater emotional resilience, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Trauma is not always the result of a single event. Many people seek therapy because they feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or nervous system dysregulation. Often, these challenges are rooted in experiences that have not been fully processed by the brain and body.

EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting are evidence-based approaches that help people process distressing experiences, reduce emotional distress, and strengthen their capacity for healing. These therapies work beyond insight alone, helping the brain and nervous system resolve experiences that may continue to impact your daily life.

EMDR Therapy and Brainspotting may be helpful for:

Trauma and PTSD
Childhood trauma
Attachment wounds
Anxiety and panic attacks
Chronic stress and burnout
Emotional regulation difficulties
Relationship challenges
Low self-esteem
Grief and loss
Distressing life experiences
Performance and confidence concerns

Whether you are seeking support for trauma recovery, anxiety, attachment healing, or personal growth, therapy can help you develop a greater sense of safety, connection, and well-being.

Why Summit MindBody Wellness

If you feel stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by anxiety, disconnected from yourself, or weighed down by past experiences, you are not alone. At Summit MindBody Wellness, I help adults heal from trauma, attachment wounds, chronic stress, and overwhelming life experiences by addressing both the mind and body.

Trauma and stress do not always show up in obvious ways. Sometimes they appear as overthinking, emotional overwhelm, difficulty trusting yourself, relationship challenges, perfectionism, burnout, or a persistent feeling that something just is not right.

Using approaches such as EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and nervous system regulation, I help clients understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. Our work together goes beyond simply talking about problems. Therapy is designed to help your brain and body process experiences, strengthen resilience, and create lasting change.

Together, we can work toward:

Feeling safer and more at home in your own body
Reducing anxiety, overwhelm, and constant overthinking
Breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you
Building a more compassionate relationship with yourself
Strengthening emotional regulation and resilience
Healing attachment wounds and past experiences
Creating a greater sense of connection, confidence, and well-being

You do not have to carry it all alone. Healing is possible, and with the right support, you can reconnect with yourself, move beyond survival mode, and create the life you want to live.

About Me

Hi, I'm Rhian, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and trauma therapist in Victoria, BC.

I understand that sometimes insight alone isn't enough. You may know why you feel the way you do, yet still find yourself stuck in the same patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or emotional reactivity. Trauma often affects both the mind and body, which is why healing requires more than simply talking about what happened.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding the nervous system. I create a space where you can safely explore difficult experiences, process emotions, and develop practical tools to support lasting change. Together, we will work to help you better understand yourself, regulate your emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost through stress, trauma, or life's challenges.

I integrate EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting, somatic approaches, compassion, and occasional humour to create a therapeutic experience that feels supportive, genuine, and human. While therapy can involve difficult conversations, it can also be a place for growth, self-discovery, and meaningful transformation.

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, and finding the right therapist is an important decision. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward healing and the life you want to create.
