WSIB Psychotherapy in Hamilton

WSIB's Mental Health Program of Care (MHPOC)  is a specialized program that provides assessment, treatment, and recovery-focused mental health services for workers experiencing psychological injuries related to their workplace.

​

Making Space Psychotherapy is aligned with this program because of our deep understanding of, and specialization in, trauma and post-traumatic stress.

 

When a Workplace Injury Changes More Than Your Body

 

Sometimes the most difficult part of a workplace injury isn't what happened physically, it's what happened emotionally, psychologically and to your sense of safety afterward.

 

​You may find yourself constantly on edge, replaying what happened, struggling with anxiety, avoiding reminders of work, feeling emotionally numb, experiencing panic, irritability, sleep difficulties, or noticing that you simply don't feel like yourself anymore.

​

For some people, these reactions begin immediately after a workplace incident. For others, they emerge gradually over time. Whether you are experiencing acute stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or the emotional impact of a difficult workplace experience, these responses can affect every part of your life—not just your ability to return to work.

​

At Making Space Psychotherapy, we understand that psychological injuries are real injuries, and they deserve thoughtful, specialized care. 

​​

Trauma healing is what we do every day. 

 

Psychological injuries require clinicians who deeply understand trauma and its impact on the nervous system, relationships, identity, and day-to-day functioning. At Making Space Psychotherapy, trauma-informed care is at the heart of everything we do, which is why injured workers from across the region trust us to support some of the most complex and challenging recoveries.

​
