Gordon Gates

I am a Registered Social Worker with specialized expertise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), one of the most extensively researched and clinically validated treatments available for PTSD and trauma. If you have experienced events that left a mark on your nervous system, whether a single overwhelming incident or years of cumulative difficult experience, EMDR works directly at the neural level to process and release what talk therapy alone often cannot reach. Clients who have carried trauma for years, sometimes decades, frequently experience profound and lasting relief through this work.

In addition to trauma and PTSD, I regularly treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is one of the most misunderstood and underserved conditions in mental health, and one of the most treatable with the right approach. If intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, or relentless mental loops are affecting your daily life and relationships, this is a core area of my practice.

My work also addresses anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and the wide range of emotional struggles that bring people to therapy. I practice through a trauma-informed, integrative lens, drawing on EMDR, brainspotting, and other evidence-based approaches, tailored specifically to each person rather than applied from a fixed template.

What you can expect from working with me is a therapeutic relationship built on genuine safety, confidentiality, and trust. We begin by developing that relationship, because healing cannot happen without it. From there we take a careful history, identify your specific needs, and move at a pace that supports stability rather than overwhelm. I am attuned to each client as an individual. My practice is inclusive of diversity in every form.

Clients consistently describe my style as warm, grounded, and deeply engaged, a space where you are met with curiosity rather than judgment, where what you bring is taken seriously, and where the goal is not just relief from symptoms but genuine and lasting transformation.

If you are ready to begin, or simply ready to have the first conversation, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
