Our Services
Psychotherapy is the process of working with a trained professional in order to work through emotional or mental health challenges, grow your understanding of self, and fostering connection. It is a safe space to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and feel supported in your experience. Therapy with Jessica can be effective for a number of issues, including trauma, anxiety and depression, addiction, self-esteem and relationship concerns, as well as daily life stressors, among other concerns.
Through different methods and techniques, therapy can help you understand yourself better, cope with tough situations, and develop healthier ways to handle life’s challenges. Whether you're facing big struggles or just need someone to talk to, therapy is about helping you feel better and live a more balanced life.
Beyond therapeutic modalities, the therapeutic alliance can account for a significant amount of effectiveness in therapy - that is, the relationship between yourself and your therapist. Building a strong, safe, and comfortable relationship between therapist and client is a priority. It is our priority to ensure trust and collaboration exists above all else in the relationship.

Wander and Wellness - walk and talk therapy program (coming soon!!)
Nature holds healing power! As someone who loves to be active and outdoors, providing a service wherein people can get moving, connect with nature, and connect with themselves is something I am extremely passionate about. The Wander and Wellness Program allows us to take the Psychotherapy experience out of the office and onto the trails.
Ecotherapy involves spending time in nature as a way to improve mental health. The idea is that connecting with the natural environment can help reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance overall well-being. Research suggests that Ecotherapy can have several positive effects on mental health, including reduced anxiety, improved mood, focus, and clarity, and enhanced emotion regulation.
Engaging in psychotherapy while in nature provides the unique benefit of being able to practice mindfulness and grounding techniques to support being more present, relaxing the nervous system, and building awareness of our own body and experience. While walking pre-determined trails in the Belleville area, we will continued to engage in traditional talk therapy, using similar techniques and modalities that would be utilized in an in-office setting.
Prior to engaging in Ecotherapy, you will complete an in-office intake and assessment session, to confirm whether Ecotherapy is suitable for your mental health needs, and ensure you are physically safe to participate.
If this sounds like something you may benefit from, reach out for more information! I can’t wait to get moving with you.
