Tracey Nguyen, RN MN (License #12492206, Ontario, practising since 2015), is a holistic nurse psychotherapist at True Health Counselling in Toronto. She offers Christian counselling and faith-based trauma therapy in-person in Toronto and virtually across Canada and worldwide — specialising in narcissistic abuse recovery, CPTSD, codependency, and grief, integrating evidence-based therapy with Christ-centred spiritual grounding.
Christian Counselling for Trauma, Grief, and Relationships
I’m Tracey Nguyen, RN MN, and I’m here to guide you on a sacred journey to heal from narcissistic abuse, codependency, grief, relationship conflicts, and complex trauma through a Christ-centred lens. Trauma can leave us lost in shame, self-doubt, or people-pleasing — feeling distant from ourselves and God. At True Health Counselling, we create a compassionate space to restore your true identity in Christ, where faith becomes your True North for healing.
Healing begins with intimacy — a deep connection with God and yourself. When narcissistic relationships or loss leave you wounded, faith in Christ’s will, timing, and grace offers a foundation to surrender control, release pain, and rediscover your soul’s purpose. My holistic, trauma-informed approach integrates biblical principles with evidence-based therapies to guide you toward peace, empowering you to navigate toxic dynamics and build authentic relationships. You can read more on my Christian Counselor Directory profile.
Why Faith Is Your True North
Narcissistic abuse, codependency, and grief often stem from deep, intergenerational wounds that shape how we see ourselves and others. These traumas make us cling to control — through people-pleasing or hypervigilance — leaving us emotionally and physically drained. As a Christian, I believe healing comes from surrendering to God’s Will, trusting His grace over our need for control. This ego death — letting go of self-reliance — allows us to find our true identity in Christ, channelling pain into purpose, and our efforts into ease, more rested in Him.
Building intimacy with God lays the foundation for healing narcissistic relationships. When you’ve identified with loss, pain, shame, or betrayal, faith becomes a compass — guiding you to release trauma and let go of control. By aligning with God’s presence, you learn to validate yourself, breaking free from cycles of seeking approval from others.
Specialized Christian Counselling Services
Grief and Loss
Losing a loved one can feel like losing part of yourself. It’s about releasing our attachment and identification with our ego and getting closer to our soul. We create a safe, Christ-centred space to process your grief, using somatic techniques to release trauma stored in your body. Through prayer and biblical embodied wisdom, we deepen your intimacy with Christ, finding peace in His Will and grace. Embracing grief fully can draw you closer to God, knowing your loved one is home with Him. By releasing attachments and trusting God’s Will, you honour your loss and rediscover your soul’s connection to Christ.
Narcissistic Abuse and Codependency
Navigating relationships with narcissistic partners or family members often means walking on eggshells, feeling drained, or tolerating control out of fear. Codependency can trap you in people-pleasing, sacrificing your needs. My counselling helps you break these patterns, set biblical boundaries, and find freedom in Christ. We address the emotional and somatic toll — gut issues, immune dysfunction — restoring your sense of self. Learn more: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery or Codependency Therapy.
Chronic Stress and Depression
Chronic stress, depression, or financial insecurity can weigh heavily on your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. My complex trauma-informed approach integrates faith and somatic therapy to address these holistically, aligning healing with biblical truths. You’ll find peace by surrendering to God’s Will, deepening your faith in Him and reducing the burden of self-reliance.
A Trauma-Informed, Christ-Centred Approach
Developmental trauma shapes how we view ourselves, others, and even our faith. Narcissistic abuse or loss can lead to a false sense of self — rooted in shame or self-centeredness due to neglect or control — distancing us from God’s truth and our souls. At True Health Counselling, I use a complex trauma-informed lens to explore themes of true identity, death of self, God-reliance, dependency, submission, and surrender within a Christian framework. By surrendering to Christ’s Will, you release ego-driven patterns and embrace your divine identity.
Our process focuses on:
- Intimacy with Christ — heal through a relational connection with God, trusting His grace as your foundation
- Releasing self-reliance — let go of control through prayer, mindfulness, and shadow work
- Biblical boundaries — submit to Christ first, then apply grace-filled boundaries in relationships
- Forgiveness and grace — practice biblical principles to repair connections and foster healing
We integrate evidence-based modalities:
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) — regulate emotions with complex trauma-informed skills
- Somatic Experiencing — release trauma stored in the body
- Gestalt therapy — integrate emotions for authenticity
- Shadow work — uncover hidden patterns for self-acceptance
Why Choose True Health Counselling?
What sets us apart is the integration of trauma-informed somatic therapy with a Christ-centred perspective. Without a trauma lens, healing can feel surface-level; without Christ as our True North, it lacks divine purpose. With 12+ years of experience and my own journey through trauma, I’ve helped clients worldwide heal CPTSD, BPD, and narcissistic abuse, addressing somatic symptoms like gut issues. My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and rooted in faith, guiding you to surrender control and trust God’s will.
Faith in Christ’s grace is superior to our need for control. When grief or narcissistic abuse defines your identity, surrender becomes a path to freedom. By building intimacy with God and yourself, you create a foundation to navigate toxic relationships, set boundaries, and heal emotional and physical scars. This ego death — letting go of self-reliance — allows you to walk toward Christ, knowing your worth is rooted in His love.
Practical Steps to Begin Healing
- Deepen your faith — use prayer or scripture meditation (e.g., Psalm 23) to anchor yourself in God’s grace daily
- Practice somatic awareness — notice physical sensations (like tension in your gut) and journal them to release trauma. Somatic Therapy deepens this work
- Set biblical boundaries — start small, such as saying “no” to non-essential demands and trusting in Christ’s strength
- Seek support — work with a trauma-informed Christian counsellor to process pain and rebuild self-trust
- Embrace forgiveness — practice grace toward yourself and others, guided by biblical principles like Colossians 3:13
