Social Worker & Psychotherapist
About Me
I’m Sherry Slejska, a psychotherapist and social worker. I offer steady, compassionate support to adults navigating acute, chronic, and complex trauma, along with emotional challenges that feel overwhelming, persistent, or difficult to manage alone.
For the past seven years, I’ve been deeply invested in working with adults who experienced child sexual abuse, as well as emotional, physical abuse and neglect. I understand how developmental trauma can leave lasting imprints, shaping how you feel, cope, and connect. My practice is trauma-focused and relational, grounded in trust, presence, and deep respect for your story and survival.
What Therapy Offers
Therapy offers a space to begin untangling what’s been carried, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with the parts of you that were silenced, buried, or shamed. Healing takes time, and it’s possible, especially with the right kind of support.
My Approach
I take an integrated, person-centred approach, drawing from evidence-based therapies like Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Processing Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Each client's therapy plan is tailored to their unique needs, goals, and pace, because healing is never one-size-fits-all.
And as someone who also knows what it’s like to walk through trauma recovery, I hold this work with humility, reverence, and a deep commitment to your growth and restoration.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Two Paths to Working Together
My work currently takes two distinct but complementary paths.
At Pathfinders, I provide individual and group therapy for adults navigating acute, chronic, and complex trauma, including those impacted by childhood abuse, neglect, or relational harm. This work is paced, relational, and rooted in trauma-informed care.
In collaboration with A Wise Mind, I also offer comprehensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). DBT is a highly effective treatment for emotion dysregulation, suicidality, self-harm, and other intense emotional challenges.
Whether you're seeking deep trauma work or structured skills-based support, we can explore the right path together.
