Trauma & PTSD Therapy for First Responders at RD Overwatch

First responders are exposed to situations most people never experience. Repeated exposure to critical incidents, violence, loss, and high-pressure decisions can lead to operational stress injuries, PTSD, and long-term mental health challenges. At RD Overwatch, we provide trauma counselling for first responders across Ontario, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, correction officers, and military personnel. Therapy helps you process difficult experiences, reduce stress reactions, and stay mentally strong both on duty and off duty.

Richard Piekarczyk-Vacca

Registered Psychotherapist

Richard served as a Combat Engineer in the Canadian Armed Forces for 8 years before being medically released after a traumatic brain injury. He combined his education with lived experience to become a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in first responder therapy and veteran counselling. He’s navigated the healthcare system from his own injuries — giving him an uncommon ability to understand mental health from the perspective of those who serve. He gets the culture, the pressure, and the cost of the job.
