Finding the right counsellor can be hard! I can resonate with the experience of seeking out counselling. It can be intimidating and anxiety-inducing. If you’re feeling this way, I want you to know you’re welcome here. Therapy is for all, regardless of what you are experiencing in your life. I am a married mother of two and grew up with four siblings. Relationship dynamics, whatever they might be, can be hard to manage. Your thoughts do not dictate who you are! Let’s work together to explore the feelings that are driving us, use them to our advantage, and create the newness you deserve.

When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

Hi! I’m Jessica. To me, therapy is a space to experience a strong caring relationship, explore someone’s history with the intent of linking current day struggles, teach practical coping strategies, and ultimately help someone thrive in a world that is often wrought with difficulty. I use evidence-based methods from a structured and holistic approach sometimes assigning homework. My experience in this field has typically seen an overemphasis or underemphasis on either spirituality or psychology when it comes to mental health matters. It is my passion and hope to honor both influences in the counselling setting.

Mindful Healing is a place where you can rest, talk, gain clarity and heal; a place where your natural innate healing abilities are validated, respected and encouraged. Together, you and I decide which approach is best for the presenting circumstances. At times, you may need bodywork such as massage or reflexology. Other times, counselling and/or hypnosis therapy are appropriate. I am often asked to draw upon Energy Therapies: Reiki, Eden Energy Medicine,Therapeutic Touch, Quantum Touch® and Emotional Freedom Techniques (“tapping’). My philosophy is based on client-centered therapy which encourages self-knowledge and inner wisdom.
