Sue Morrison, RP
With years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, helping individuals navigate the complex emotional terrain of post-traumatic stress. I understand that trauma doesn’t just affect your past—it can continue to shape your present and future, impacting your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapies like CBT and EMDR, both of which are effective in helping individuals process trauma and shift negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addiction.

In addition to my work with teens, I’m currently pursuing my PhD and working as an addiction counselor at an addiction treatment center.

My goal is to integrate these passions as I work toward my psychotherapy designation and continue to support clients in holistic, impactful ways.

Rachel Metcalfe
I support the whole family, including siblings, in navigating care, schooling, and changing developmental and educational needs. I’m trained in VB-MAPP, PEAK, and ABLLS-R, and can guide you through the Ontario Autism Program (OAP), funding options, treatment choices, and what’s actually necessary (and what isn’t) so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
I’ve worked closely with York/Durham and Tri-County school boards and can assist with IEPs, rights, and advocacy to ensure your child is supported both at home and at school.
I understand ASD from the inside out, and my goal is to support your family in a way that honours mental health, family dynamics, and your child’s unique strengths and development.
CHILD BEHAVIOUR THERAPIST
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
I’m a clinician and parent with 30+ years of experience in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), autism, and early intervention.
Alongside my formal training, I bring lived experience - my son is 18 and has ASD, ADHD, and an intellectual delay - so my approach is holistic, compassionate, and rooted in real life.
I’ve worked within the system, including at Kinark, and the Geneva centre for Autism and I know how challenging it can be to wait for services, feel stuck on lists, or worry your child is losing valuable time. You don’t have to wait anymore - the help is available now.

As a trained Quantum Biofeedback Specialist, I use advanced techniques based on quantum physics to assess and restore the body’s energetic state. This non-invasive method delivers specific frequencies to the body to regulate stress responses, promote healing, and enhance emotional regulation. It’s especially helpful for managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and more.
My holistic approach integrates mind, body, and spirit, helping clients regain control of their emotional and physiological well-being. Whether in-person or remotely, I provide transformative feedback to restore balance and empower your body’s innate ability to heal.

In addition to addiction work, I provide individual counselling focused on inner child healing and family-of-origin trauma. Together, we explore the early experiences, attachment patterns, and unresolved wounds that often shape present-day struggles,creating space for insight, accountability, and meaningful change.
