Hello. I’m Darcy Arthur, MSW, RSW, a trauma-informed therapist and self-professed neuroscience geek with a passion for helping others understand how their brains shape their experiences. I’m fascinated by how our brains influence how we respond to life—whether it's the joyful moments, the stressful situations, or the traumatic experiences. I believe that understanding the science behind our thoughts and reactions can empower us to transform how we engage with life and the people around us.
As humans, we are inherently relational, and many of the challenges we face in life are tied to how we’ve learned to connect with others. My approach is collaborative, and together we’ll explore how these learned ways of relating—from our early experiences—are helping or hindering your ability to build healthy, harmonious relationships today.
A key part of our work will be understanding how your brain responds to stress and trauma. Through psychoeducation, I’ll teach you how our brains create automatic, knee-jerk responses to the world around us—responses that are often deeply patterned from our past. With this awareness, you’ll be able to break free from those automatic reactions and start responding in ways that feel more aligned with your values and goals. This process can help you reduce feelings of shame, embarrassment, and low self-worth, replacing them with greater self-compassion and self-love.-love and empower us to transform our relationships and our lives.
If you're ready to explore how your brain impacts your relationships and responses—and to learn how to make lasting, positive changes—I’d love to work with you.
I work with a wide range of clients, including military families, veterans, OPP members and their families, and members of our broader community. Together, we create strategies for engaging with life in ways that build confidence, foster well-being, and support meaningful growth.
