I work with adults, teens, and couples and use a variety of modalities to find the best approach for you.
Life can be challenging and sometimes it can be hard to know the steps we need to take to better understand ourselves and live the life we want to live. I work from the perspective that being a human is hard and that we all face struggles throughout our life. While these challenges may be unavoidable, therapy can provide a place to feel seen and help shift your perspective, discover more about yourself, connect with your feelings, and discover meaning from your experiences.

Hi, my name is Jillian and I offer evidence based therapy with the option of incorporating horses into the therapy process (Equine Assisted Counselling). I work with adults, youth and children; and focus on treatment of anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, social-emotional challenges, and processing difficult life changes. Animal assisted therapy comes with special benefits to our well-being. But including animals in the counselling process is up to you! If you prefer to sit and talk in my office, we can do that, too! You (and/or your children) deserve to feel better and enjoy life. Let's get there together.

Navigating relationships with ourselves, others, and the world is difficult on a good day, and it is my belief that symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma warrant as much attention and care as any physical ailment. I offer both art and talk therapy, and work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client, and provide a warm environment where your unique strengths and values will be honoured as we explore areas of difficulty and work towards your goals together.

I have a special interest in working with young adults on issues related to self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, LGBTQI+ experiences, relationships, sexuality, and gender identity.
Navigating mental health struggles in young adulthood can often feel overwhelming and isolating. As a queer individual, my lived experiences have shaped my approach, allowing me to offer a warm, compassionate, and understanding perspective. As a counsellor, this enables me to create a non-judgmental, thoughtful space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and not alone.

I offer remote psychotherapy for adults (19+) who live in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia).
When the injured psyche drives behaviour, it can isolate us from community and separate us from our own heart. Yet, when we heal our unconscious patterns and stay connected with our heart, we begin to evolve into the most loving and courageous version of ourselves. Our traumatic and injurious experiences hold lessons and opportunities for emotional, psychological and spiritual growth; as well as an opportunity to evolve beyond survival, to expand in consciousness into the wisdom of knowing ourselves and the power of mastering ourselves.

I'm Carly, and I help teens and adults process trauma and grief, as well as heal their anxiety, depression, relationships, and/or coping mechanisms. I work with people from all walks of life and have a particular interest in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and adverse childhood experiences. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and healing anxious attachment wounds. Trauma is re-experienced in the mind and body and greatly impacts the lens through which you view the world. Therapy can be incredibly effective at helping you become unstuck from your past - more ease, better relationships, and presence.
