Trauma isn’t simply about what happened to you—it’s also about how your mind and body experienced and internalized what happened.

Two people can go through similar experiences and be affected in very different ways. Sometimes, painful experiences become “stuck,” shaping the way we see ourselves long after the event is over.

Understanding this can be an important part of understanding trauma and healing. 🤍

It’s not just the memory that stays with us—it’s the way that experience shaped how we see ourselves.

EMDR can help process painful experiences and work toward changing the negative beliefs and feelings that may still affect you today.

You don’t have to keep carrying the past in the same way. 🤍

We’re so excited to introduce the newest therapist of the Evergreen Therapy team, Katy Mesics!

Katy brings a thoughtful, creative approach to therapy, and in this clip, she shares how painting, coloring, and journaling have given her a different way to process life and express what’s going on beneath the surface.

“I’m not a huge talker… so it gives me that space to work through things in a different way.”

Processing doesn’t look the same for everyone. Sometimes it happens through conversation, and sometimes it happens through creativity, reflection, and finding another way to express what’s inside.

We’re grateful to have Katy on the Evergreen team and can’t wait for you to get to know her.

Please join us in welcoming Katy Mesics to the Evergreen Therapy team!

Katy is a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling and 14 years of experience working with youth and families in clinical settings.

Her approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, with training in EMDR Therapy, and she thoughtfully adapts her approach to meet each client’s unique needs. Katy also incorporates creative elements such as art and play in therapy, when appropriate—something that can provide another meaningful way to explore emotions and experiences.

At the heart of Katy’s work is her belief that every person has inherent value. She strives to create a collaborative, comfortable space where clients feel both supported and encouraged as they move toward growth and healing.

Katy works with children, adolescents, and adults, with areas of practice including trauma, anxiety and depression, parenting and family relationships, perinatal and maternal mental health, life transitions, and more.

We’re so grateful to have Katy joining Evergreen and are excited for you to get to know her!

Welcome to Evergreen, Katy! 🌲

Have you ever noticed how your body enters the conversation before your words do?

Standing over your partner can unintentionally communicate judgment, distance, or opposition—before you’ve said a single thing.

Sitting beside them, however, creates a different starting point. It signals, “I’m with you, even if we’re working through something difficult.”

The goal isn’t to avoid hard conversations. It’s to approach them in a way that makes connection more likely.

🤍 Notice your posture.

🤍 Consider what it might be communicating.

🤍 Choose a position that invites teamwork instead of conflict.

Sometimes a small shift in where you sit can become a meaningful shift in how you connect.

It’s finally time… welcome to our new Winnipeg space 🌲

As a reminder:
📍 Our Niverville location remains the same
📍 Our Winnipeg location has now moved

We know that change can take time—especially when it comes to the places where you feel safe and known. That’s why we’ve been so intentional in creating a space that feels calm, welcoming, and familiar, while also giving you a little more room to breathe.

From cozy corners to our coffee nook, every detail was chosen with care and with you in mind.

We hope this space becomes another place where you feel supported, seen, and at ease.

If you have any questions or need help navigating the transition, we’re here for you 💛

As counsellors, we are always trying to continue learning to best help our clients. Our therapist Raychel Algera is currently taking an Internal Family Systems trauma treatment program with Frank Anderson.  

“Something I really walked away with today was Frank’s focus on self compassion, self acceptance, and gratitude and how these practices impact the brain. When we are actively incorporating these practices in therapy, and in our own lives, we are giving space for our brain to create new healthy neuro pathways which will help us to make long lasting changes!”

A way you could practice this healthy habit could be starting or ending your day by reflecting on the 3 things that you feel grateful for.

As Evergreen Therapy continues to grow, we will be making a change to one of our locations:

​Our Winnipeg office will be moving to a new space (May 2026). Near our present location.

Our new Winnipeg location is being thoughtfully designed to offer more space, added comfort, and a welcoming environment to support your experience (including a cozy coffee nook).

More details—including photos and address of the new space—soon.

Sometimes the contempt we feel toward others is connected to something deeper within ourselves.
That’s why understanding your emotional activation patterns matters.

When you’re feeling heightened or overwhelmed, your role shifts:

Not to fix.
Not to confront.
Not to decide.
But to regulate.

What helps you feel calm?
What brings your system back down?

These are powerful questions worth exploring.

Because when you learn to soothe yourself, you create the foundation for better decisions—and healthier, more connected relationships. You have more compassion for yourself and for others.
