My approach uses a holistic and trauma-informed lens.
Have you ever felt like you do not belong, that you are gravely misunderstood? What about striving for perfection in all aspects of your life? Or constantly feeling like a stranger in your own body? Does any of this sound familiar to you? I can assure you that you are not alone in these struggles.

”, and work from an attachment and trauma-informed lens.
I work from the perspective that we’re all managing something, no matter what age. Whether it’s worries, relationship challenges, or problems with learning. Sometimes we need help understanding what it is that’s happening for us, while other times we understand the challenge, but not how to make changes. I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

I use EMDR to work through trauma with clients while also using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy to help clients explore their emotional experiences and reshape the stories they tell about themselves.
Reaching out for support can be a very challenging task but it is also the first step to get you closer to living your preferred life. In therapy, we will work together to clarify your life's vision, explore what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals, identify what skills and strengths you have to overcome these barriers, while also learning new skills and ways of thinking. During this process, I am committed to creating a respectful space where you will feel heard, acknowledged, supported and understood. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

Sometimes, life experiences have a significant impact on our ability to embrace the present moment. As a result, we engage with our current circumstances trying to defend and protect ourselves from past wounds. Yet, we long for more. More acceptance, more motivation, more healing. Maybe you've realized, "this is not working. Something needs to change and I need to figure it out." You have reached the point when you're no longer satisfied with wondering how things will work out. You want to see tangible change happen.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, or unresolved trauma or loss, we can work together to uncover the underlying dynamics and develop new, healthier ways to cope and connect.
Have you tried different approaches—even therapy—but lasting change still feels out of reach? Unresolved pain, challenging life experiences, or other mental health issues can keep you stuck in patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, disconnected, or hopeless. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about understanding your unique story. When you feel truly seen and begin to connect with yourself in new ways, real change becomes possible.

My areas of focus are addiction, trauma, burnout, and major life changes.
I was born into the communities of addiction & trauma. I've knowingly participated in those communities for 20 years. I've studied, I've practiced, and I've applied a lot of what we discuss to my own life. I've been half of a great marriage, supportive friendships, raised two children, buried too many loved ones, and changed my life a number of times.

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 helps the brain process what’s been keeping you stuck so you can feel calmer, more in control, able to move forward, and be the version of yourself you want to be — often quicker than with talk therapy alone.
