Services

 

Jenna provides psychotherapy to adults as well as youth ages 16+. Sessions are available by secure video, are 50-minutes in duration, and cost $185 (inclusive of HST). The cost of psychotherapy may be fully or partially covered by your extended health insurance provider.

In addition to general psychotherapy, Jenna specializes in the following areas. She also loves hummingbirds.

Perinatal Mental Health

Having trained at Vancouver’s Reproductive Mental Health program and being a mother herself, Jenna loves to support parents through the perinatal ceremonies - pre-conception, pregnancy, birthing, and the postpartum period - and integrate the healing available through these challenging yet powerful initiations.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Jenna previously worked for outpatient, residential, and inpatient level Eating Disorder treatment programs in British Columbia and Ontario. Treatment is individualized to meet the person’s stage of recovery and goals. Jenna is also versed in involving parents/caregivers or other loved ones in supporting the recovering person.

Psychedelic-assisted Therapy

Jenna offers preparation, harm-reduction, and integration therapy for those choosing to work with psychedelic medicines. She has worked with entheogenic medicines - namely ayahuasca and psilocybin - personally for a decade, and is passionate about helping others to find the most meaning and positive change from their ceremonies.

Clinical Supervision

Jenna is a Clinical Supervisor who meets the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario’s (CRPO) standards to provide clinical supervision. Individual, dyad, and group options are available. Supervision is a combination of compassionate support, didactic learning, case consultation, and experiential processes.
