Welcome! My name is Jennifer and I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps individuals and couples through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain (chronic or sexual), burnout, trauma, or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our environments, there is also a way to reconnect and heal.
I blend empathy, directness and humour to help you achieve your goals. I take a "bottom-up" approach to psychotherapy. This means that I start with the body. I work to foster a collaborative space, so that we may explore your needs together. Safety comes first. Once we feel safe enough in therapy, we can accomplish so much.
If you are interested in working together, please reach out to see if we feel like a good match. After all, fit it is the most important part of therapy. Though difficult, I challenge you trust your gut through this process.

Mindfulness For Chronic Pain Management

Home Body Counselling and Psychotherapy has partnered with Afiya Pain Clinic to provide a 6-week course on mindfulness for pain management. Through the program, you will have a chance to connect with other chronic pain patients, learn more about your nervous system and gain skills to manage pain through body-based psychotherapy interventions. The groups are co-facilitated by Dr. Elle Surgent and therefore they are covered by OHIP. You are required to complete an initial intake with Dr. Surgent to determine eligibility for the group.
