Meet Jessica
Hello, and welcome to River’s Way Counselling: Psychological Care Centre.
I offer, compassionate, scientific and holistic psychological services.
My approach blends multiple modalities such as Attachment Based therapy, Deep Brain Re-orienting, Family Therapy, Depth psychology, Process-oriented psychology, Somatic oriented therapy, Trauma-informed Therapy, Mindful Self Compassion, The Gottman method and collaborative practices to address your lived experience and factors that may impact your wellbeing. This work may include understanding unhealed childhood traumas, recognizing shame and external or internalized oppression.
Sessions focus on achieving your goals. Deep learning and change can be slow. I do my best to offer services that meet your needs and therapy time frame.
ISSUES I WORK WITH:
Individual therapy: I work with people struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood issues, self-confidence, grief, difficulties managing and processing emotions, nervous system dysregulation, difficulties with sleep, overthinking, and addictions. I use a gentle body-mind-heart approach to help you learn to care for you core needs.
Trauma therapy: Trauma informed therapy explores the impact of trauma, intergenerational trauma and various life experiences which impact your wellbeing. Together we create space to process your lived experiences that you may have been under resourced to adequately process and digest at earlier times in your life. Trauma therapy may include talk/narrative therapy where you explore post-traumatic growth and new meaning in your life, or it can focus less on telling your story, and rather focusing on signals from your body and doing body based trauma processing.
