Today is National PTSD Awareness Day. You might ask yourself, how could one be unaware of PTSD?

The answer to that lies in the faces of hundreds of thousands of Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, active duty and veteran military. It lies in the faces of Nurses, Doctors and Respiratory Therapists. It lies in this video, which is a MUST WATCH in its entirety.

The face of PTSD is unique in the way that the pain is silent and invisible. The faces of our heroes are stoic, they are sometimes smiling, they are the most capable, resilient people you’ve ever met. They are the ones who have 400 hours of unused vacation time at work, they are shift supervisors, Fire Chiefs, Sargeants, Advanced Care Paramedics, and Flight RTs. They are always able to help. They appear hardened and immune from the cumulative trauma they endure. They are fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends and caregivers.

Their pain is invisible, but is swallowing them whole.

Three Sisters Counselling holds many contracts, but some of the most important ones are those where we utilize our team of Psychologists, Counsellors, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, and Medical Doctors to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We do this by using three techniques:

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). This is a trauma treatment using repetitive eye movement to desensitize the brain and body to recalled images of trauma,

ART or Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which uses eye movements to alter the way distressing memories are stored in the brain,

and Exposure Therapy, which is done by our Occupational Therapists and Registered Counsellors. These exposures are done both in-person and online and allow the client to be re-integrated into their daily life and job using incremental exposure to stimuli that is a source of trauma.

The biggest tragedy of PTSD is having someone who is integral to our lives, lose their life to PTSD. This loss of life comes in many forms. It can be a mother and police officer who is struggling to parent her children because she cannot take care of herself. It can be a firefighter who takes his own life because he can’t live with the reality that he once saved people from burning buildings and then found himself unable to get out of bed due too paralyzing depression.

For us at Three Sisters Counselling, PTSD is an opportunity to help strong, capable people regain their lives. There is no bigger sense of accomplishment.

If you, a friend or family member is struggling with symptoms of PTSD, reach out to us today.

Pain can be invisible.

At times, it can be obvious when someone is struggling to cope. But sometimes the signs are harder to spot. Check in on those around you. ...

As a Mental Health Counsellor who specializes in treating our Frontline First Responders for PTSD, this is so important to share.

For anyone who has ever seen what PTSD looks like in heroes, this is it. Strong, capable people brought to their knees.

This picture brings tears to my eyes thinking of the men and women myself and my team have treated with the Kelowna RCMP, BCEHS, Surrey Fire, Penticton Fire, BC Wildfire Service, VPD, Toronto Police Services, BC Children’s, Helijet, KGH, VGH, and all the veterans I’ve treated with the Canadian Govt armed forces.

I always think the best way to thank you for your service is to remind you that you are humans who require daily debriefing, exceptional coping skills, significant family support, and professional services to allow you to continue to do your jobs while harm reducing the effects of that job.

If you or your family member is struggling with symptoms or a diagnosis of PTSD, reach out to Three Sisters Counselling Inc.

Our trained therapists, who consist of former first responders and EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy Psychologists, Counsellors and Social Workers are a available 7 days a week, 12 hours a day to help.

Thank you to all Police, Fire, Ambulance, RTs, RNs, LPNs, ACPs, PCPs, LARUs, MDs, Veterans and Active Duty military for your service.

You are not alone and you don’t have to suffer in silence

I am pleased to release this article, which honours me as one of the Top 100 Canadian Professionals. I am amazed that a short interview with the production team resulted in such a beautifully-written article about my journey from the age of 39 when I shifted my career path as a Respiratory Therapist working night shifts and a single mother to three young children, to who I am today as the Founder and Owner of Three Sisters Counselling Inc.

We are pleased to announce that Lisa Ann Butcher will be featured in the Top 100 Canadian Professionals magazine.

Lisa Ann Butcher doesn’t just speak about transformation—she embodies it. As the founder and clinical director of Three Sisters Counselling Inc., Lisa redefines what it means to pivot and thrive, proving that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. At 39, Lisa courageously shifted from an 18-year career as a respiratory therapist working in acute care across Ontario and British Columbia, into a field she felt passionately called toward: mental health counselling. Her leap into the unknown wasn’t just personal—it became inspirational. “Redefine Your Life” isn’t just a catchphrase for Lisa; it’s the cornerstone of her philosophy and professional practice. Within two short years of launching her solo counselling business, Lisa expanded her vision into a flourishing multi-disciplinary mental health clinic, now employing a team of 20 professionals across three offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, British Columbia. Her entire team is female—an intentional choice rooted in empowering and amplifying women’s voices in mental health.
