Hello there, my name is Jocelyn, and I'm here to support kids, teens and young adults/students on their journey. My approach is all about kindness, compassion, and respect, tailored to help young individuals navigate through life's twists and turns! Whether it's change, trauma, anxiety, depression, or adjusting to new cultures and experiences.

Counselling brings empowerment and self-awareness. Carl Rogers once said “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” This is something that resonates with who I am as a counsellor. I want my clients to achieve this acceptance of themselves and realize that they are more than worthy- that they are more than capable, to bring forth the change that they desire.

Are you a mother, father, a spouse or co-parent? Are you struggling with the children, your spouse or your ex-partner? Are you wanting to know how to best support your children in the context of separation/divorce? Are you trying to get everyone's needs met, solve conflict, create more harmony and joy in your home? Do you juggle financial needs, your children's needs, home functioning, your marriage and your personal needs? Maybe you feel alone, frustrated, worried or burnt out. Maybe you just want to be more confident knowing how to deepen your connection to your spouse or child. You want a happy, thriving family life!

Are you a parent worried that your child might be struggling? Are you considering that your teen might need extra support? Are you a parent in the midst of family changes who needs extra tools to support your kids? We got you. Strong Ties – Child & Family Services is a specialized counselling clinic that focuses on helping children, adolescents and families. Some of the issues we focus on include behavioural issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, anger, trauma, relationship/school issues, and separation/divorce.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, eating issues, relationships, stress and coping, chronic pain? I have over 25 years experience in helping people with a range of struggles. You can expect to feel heard and understood and not only gain insight into your issues but also learn tools that will help you begin to feel better right after the first session. Because I believe in the amazing capacity of human beings to transform, I help to instil hope because of my passion and belief in the process of transformation.

Currently only accepting child clients. In therapy, I strive for a safe, judgment-free space to explore your needs and values. I support kids (<12) and their parents navigating neurodiversity, big or overwhelming emotions, coping, and self-care—essential amid a neurotypical-centric world. Collaboratively, using conversation, art, play, or somatic methods, we explore how to meet your needs. Together, we navigate an often isolating, unaccommodating world to understand how it influences your experiences, relationships, and environments. We aim to understand cultural norms, rewriting expectations to align with your unmasked self.

Are you looking for a therapy that works and a therapist you can truly connect with? Do you seek meaningful change in your life, and long to thrive as an individual and in your relationships? Offering individual and couples counselling from a trauma-informed approach, I can support you in exploring your experiences, process difficult emotions and life transitions, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and unfulfilled and develop effective regulation skills.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds and live with anxiety, depression, trauma, mental health disorders, and attachment dysregulation. I work virtually with adults and in person with children offering play therapy and sand tray. During our virtual sessions we work at regulating symptoms, increase a sense of control, and develop an increased understanding of your internal systems. As some children are in a preverbal stage of development, it may be difficult to name or express their inner feelings. Play and Sand tray therapy offers an alternative to talking in which I use both directive and non directive approaches.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

Let’s work together to explore the challenges creating uneasiness, confusion and pain in your life. We will work in a comfortable, accepting space to create a meaningful, grounding experience to help you gain new awareness, explore choices and promote positive and rewarding change and self-care. Traditional talk therapies are not the only way to explore your story, and I often use sand play, art, storytelling, journaling, metaphor and imagery to reach a deeper understanding.

As someone who is deeply committed to creating positive change, I am thrilled to offer a space for youth and young adults who are seeking self-discovery, emotional exploration, and meaningful healing. As a young newcomer to Canada, and as a mixed Latina, I understand the nuances of culture, identity, the delicate nature of our sense of belonging, and the challenge of life transitions. I also believe in the power of empathy and collaboration when navigating these challenges.

Welcome! I am glad you found yourself here. I acknowledge that counselling is a courageous step. It is courageous to look within yourself and realize that there are some things not working for you. Many times we have experienced non-death loss, suffering, and pain hoping that it would have disappeared with time but the intense pain, hurt, and anger continues to remain.

I care about your unique lived experience. I work with teenagers, women, men - with all folks of any age experiencing life challenges. I work with acute stress, identity challenges, relational PTSD, C-PTSD, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and challenges with self-esteem. I'm trained in Narrative therapy, person-centred therapy, trauma-informed practices, and hypnotherapy. I also have practices with Jungian psychoanalysis which can help clients wanting to access, experience, and integrate unconscious material into conscious awareness.

As you go along in life, do you find yourself switching between different moods and hijacked by so many contradictory feelings and impulses that feel out of your control or conscious awareness? You may wish to live life more fully and meaningfully while you find yourself inhibited or limited with struggles between your wish for involvement in ordinary life and fear of leaving the house, mistrust of relationships, or hopelessness about future. In dealing with these personal challenges, you may feel flooded and severely anxious or in trying to disconnect or deny these responses, may feel chronically depressed and alienated from self.

Relationship and safety are two core concepts that guide my approach to practice. A grounded understanding in the neurobiology of development and trauma, the role of attachment experiences, as well as contextual factors and a belief in the body’s inherent capacity for healing help inform my assessment and interventions. We heal through knowing ourselves and in connection to the world and the relationships around us.

I work with adults, children, youth and families seeking healing and positive change as they navigate the ups and downs of life. Together we cultivate deep respect for each person’s unique experiences while nurturing the connections, within ourselves and to others, that enliven us.

“Healing Begins With a Single Step Towards Self-Discovery.” Have you felt hopeless, sad, empty, with many problems and no-solutions? It is ok to ask for help.

Counselling can be helpful to people who are struggling to cope with daily life for a long time or people who need support to move them through challenging moments. Our main objective is to help clients discover their true authentic self. Some of the issues we help include Trauma, PTSD, and mental conditioning like Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Addictions, self-esteem, cognitive, and behavioural issues. During the sessions, we will help clients feel connected, build inner confidence, and create boundaries, to have better control of their life. We will help clients feel empowered and build inner resilience to feel happy and relaxed.
