Jessica MacDonald - MSW, RSW. EMDR trained therapist. Offering VIRTUAL sessions ONTARIO wide. Accepting NEW clients for VIRTUAL appointments. EMDR can help if you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck on past experiences. It can be helpful for overwhelmed parents or busy professionals who take on a lot and don’t have the time or energy to keep circling the same struggles. EMDR can help the brain process what’s been keeping you stuck, with the goal of feeling calmer, more in control, able to move forward, and be a version of yourself you want to be. Some clients report noticing shifts sooner than with talk therapy alone.
Registered Social Worker (OCSWSSW) with a Masters of Social Work degree specializing in Health & Mental Health (University of Toronto). EMDR trained therapist through EMDRIA accredited program. Previous work experience with maternal mental health (Obstetrics/NICU - Sunnybrook). Completed internship training at Sunnybrook & SickKids Hospital (Toronto).
I practice from an integrated and holistic approach to wellness that incorporates the mind-body connection, thought patterns, sleep, exercise and the social environment. Together we might explore attachment, family dynamics, mindfulness, and discuss ways of changing old patterns of being.

My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. I use EMDR and attachment-based therapy, along with understanding how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, to keep therapy manageable, grounded, and supportive. We move at your pace with intention, and a strong focus on calming the nervous system.
