Hi, I’m Dr. Arela Agako, a Registered Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Trauma Care Psychology. I created this clinic to offer a space where people living with the effects of trauma feel truly seen, cared for, and supported with treatments that work.

I work with individuals and couples navigating Complex PTSD, trauma-related difficulties, BPD, emotion dysregulation, and high-conflict relationships, as well as anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, and OCD. My approach is both deeply human and evidence-based, drawing on DBT, EFT, CPT, and ACT to help clients heal and build the life and relationships they want.

I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from McMaster University and have published research on emotion regulation in peer-reviewed journals. At Trauma Care Psychology, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and culturally attuned space for clients to work on their challenges.
