Hi! I'm Sue

I am the founder / CEO of White Brick Therapy, a Registered Professional Counsellor, a Certified Addiction Counselor, and psychotherapy trained. My scope of practice includes:

PTSD, trauma, addiction: I use a psychodynamic approach which includes inner child work to find the root cause of your pain and frustrations.

Couples Counselling: goal of enhancing friendship and intimacy while productively managing conflicts and "resolvable" problems and dialogue about gridlocked or perpetual issues.

My aspiration is to help clients discover their true authentic selves and find healing in the process in a safe, supported and compassionate space.

EMDR Therapy

Do you wonder why you have overly emotional and irrational reactions to situations in your life? These unwanted responses come from a part of our brain that is not governed by our rational mind. They are not based in present reality. They actually come from our unprocessed memories from the past that are being triggered.

EMDR therapy targets the unprocessed traumatic memories and with them the painful negative emotions, sensations and beliefs in our unconscious. In effect, we can consciously reprogram our conscious.

Quantum Biofeedback

Quantum biofeedback is an advanced technique that uses principles of quantum physics to assess a person's energetic state, focusing on mental health.It uses special devices to find any imbalances that might be causing stress or emotional issues.By delivering specific frequencies back to the body, it aims to promote healing and restore balance, which can alleviate anxiety and depression. This approach also supports recovery from trauma and PTSD by honouring the body's inherent ability to heal.

What White Brick Therapy can help you with . . .

Addiction: Did you know that addiction is not the result of moral failing or lack of willpower, but rather a complex interplay of genetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors. We have Certified and Trained Addiction Counsellors with lived experience !

Trauma and PTSD: trauma is not what happened TO US, it is what happens INSIDE OF US. Trauma includes growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect or unhealthy behavior affected us. This could include having parents with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, parents who were controlling, critical, perfectionistic, or didn’t nurture us adequately. Try Quantum Biofeedback ...

Couples and Family Counselling: Trained using the Gottman Method with overall goal of enhancing friendship and intimacy while productively managing conflicts and "resolvable" problems and dialogue about gridlocked or perpetual issues.

Grief, Post-partum, Pregnancy Loss: Using trauma-informed techniques to help individuals understand and navigate the emotional impact of their experiences, while supporting emotional regulation, addressing unresolved trauma, and promoting coping strategies that encourage recovery and emotional well-being.

BOOK WITH SUSAN

You're not alone!

At different times in life, many of us find ourselves feeling helpless, depressed, and anxious. In our regressed state, we are not living life to the fullest but merely surviving. The past and present, combined with worries about what the future might bring, leaves us feeling pain in the mind and body.

I believe that each individual has the ability to heal and grow, creating real inner change and that a therapeutic relationship will allow you to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from a place of curiosity and insight, while feeling supported, understood and safe. I believe that this service should be affordable for everyone.
