PTSD/Trauma
Sue Blair
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Trauma shapes how we feel in our bodies, how we see ourselves, and how safe we feel in relationships, often long after the harm is over. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer trauma informed therapy for teens and adults living with complex trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, abuse, and childhood sexual assault. With more than three decades in the Violence Against Women sector, I draw from Narrative Therapy, DBT, EFT, IFS, and somatic practices to help you move at your own pace, settle your nervous system, and rebuild a sense of safety, agency, and self trust.

From The Inside Out Counselling Services
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW
Trauma. This word encapsulates so much. Trauma can be experienced in any part of our lives through a single event or over time. Trauma does not have to be a "big event", it can be not being understood in the workplace or in your family dynamic. A safe place to explore your trauma including how it affects you today and a therapy that can help you process them is essential. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a different type of therapy but is known to be very effective with Trauma and PTSD. I would love to start this process with you.
