I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT-C) with over a decade of experience in grassroots activism, harm reduction, and social justice. My work honours the uniqueness of each person’s story while recognizing how systemic inequality and generational trauma shapes mental health and identity.

Grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), my approach integrates aspects of Narrative, CBT, ACT, EFT, Existential Therapy, Art Therapy, and mindfulness to create individualized, creative, and transformative therapeutic journeys. I’m passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces where clients can reconnect with their inner strength, reclaim their narratives, and build lives rooted in authenticity and connection.

I am a licensed counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth.

I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT) with the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick (CCTNB) and a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

Throughout my own therapeutic journey, I’ve come to understand how nerve-wracking the counselling process can be. However, through my strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, my goal is to guide you on a path towards self discovery as I gain insight about your strengths and help you tap into them. Clients are encouraged to take an active part in their healing by offering feedback, creating a collaborative relationship.

I tailor each treatment plan based on my client’s individual needs, making my approach eclectic and organized. I have experience working with those who have struggled with general mental health concerns, including (but not limited to), depression, anxiety, dissociation, grief ,chronic pain and trauma . My practice is also neurodivergent friendly.

Meet Tricia Wilson MA, CCC, LCT-C

Owner, Clinical Traumatologist

With my BA obtained at UNB Saint John, and my MA from Yorkville University in Fredericton, I have decided to settle into private practice in this beautiful renaissance city I call home. I have a passion for walking with people to help heal the impact of trauma and grief. I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor, with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association as well as a Licensed Counselling Therapist - Candidate with the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick. I have received specialized training in trauma through EMDR International Association (EMDRia), The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), and Internal Family Systems Counselling Association (IFSCA).As a clinical traumatologist, my main focus is trauma, and trauma related concerns. I follow a trip-phasic model of trauma treatment: building safety and stabilization, remembrance and mourning (processing) of trauma events and memories, and reconnection with the self and others. Although my main focus is in complex trauma, PTSD, CTSD, and dissociative disorders, the tri-phasic model can be effectively applied to many other concernsAs part of my trauma-focused approach, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy as highly effective and safe approaches to PTSD, cPTSD, trauma, dissociative disorders, and a wide variety of other concerns. These science-based approaches can be used separately or combined as a way to understand the past, live in the present, and plan for a healthier future.
