About Me

Hi, I’m Sherry Slejska, MSW, RSW, a trauma and DBT therapist based in the Waterloo Region.

​

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist who works with adolescents (16+) and adults navigating trauma, complex and developmental trauma, and the emotional challenges that often accompany them, such as intense emotions, chronic anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Many of the people I work with have been diagnosed with PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and are seeking a steady, compassionate space to heal, grow, and find balance.

​

I understand how life’s experiences can leave you feeling ungrounded, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. My role is to offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to make sense of what’s weighing on you with care, clarity, and support.

​

I do this work because I believe healing is possible. People are remarkably resilient, even when they’ve lived through more than anyone should have to face. With the right support, things can change, gently, deeply, and at your own pace.

​

My approach is trauma-focused, DBT-based, and integrative, grounded in both professional training and lived experience. I work collaboratively to help you strengthen emotional regulation, reconnect with your inner resilience, and build trust in yourself and your relationships. Above all, I see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a problem to fix, but someone finding their way back to balance, strength, and self-trust.

​

If something here resonates with you, I’d be honoured to connect.
