Trauma Symptoms & Emotional Struggles | Victoria, BC
Feeling stuck under the weight of the past?
Trauma can cast a long shadow—intrusive memories, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness can make it hard to focus on today. You don’t have to carry it alone.
Intrusive memories or flashbacks
It feels like the past is always present—distressing events replaying without warning, making it hard to focus on today.
Constantly ‘on edge’ or unsafe
You’re in a high-alert state, finding it hard to relax. Hypervigilance is exhausting and strains relationships.
Emotional numbness or overwhelm
You either feel disconnected and numb, or experience sudden surges of intense emotion that seem to come out of nowhere.
Avoiding triggers—people, places, or memories
You find yourself actively steering clear of anything that reminds you of trauma, which can make your world feel smaller and smaller.

- M.H.Happy Client
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
Before I found Steve, I was lost in my addiction to cocaine and pornography. Three years ago I was suicidal after being arrested and charged by police. From the very first session Steve met me without judgement and helped me see that my addiction wasn't who I was, but rather a wound that I could heal. Steve helped me overcome the shame of being an addict and blowing up my life and today I have a life free of addiction that is better than I could have ever imagined. - L.D.Happy Client

Steve helped my partner and I save our marriage. I was full of hurt, anger and resentment. Steve helped us learn to create safety, rebuild trust, and communicate in a gentle open way without attacking. Today our relationship feels stronger than it ever has! - P.N.Happy Client
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
When I met Steve, I was drowning in anxiety and stress. Steve created a space where I finally felt safe enough to slow down and start unpacking what I'd been carrying. Not until I met Steve did I feel so fully understood and seen. He was able to resonate so deeply with me. - M.H.Happy Client

Trauma & EMDR Therapist in Victoria, BC — In-Person & Online
Your Partner in Healing
I’m Steve Price, RCC, a trauma therapist specializing in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy. I help individuals who are navigating the impact of trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm find lasting relief and deeper self-understanding.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing is possible for everyone. Through EMDR, we gently process and release distressing memories that may still be affecting your internal world. With IFS, we explore the different parts of you that may be stuck in patterns of fear, shame, or self-protection—creating space for those parts to feel seen, heard, and ultimately healed.
I believe every person has an innate capacity for resilience, healing, and wholeness. Whether we meet in my Victoria office (near Lagoon Beach) or via secure video, I support you in reconnecting with your true Self—helping you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
