Somatic Therapists in Ontario
Whether you’re returning to therapy or starting for the first time, let's figure out what you might need right now. We will give time and space to a process of exploration, so you can deepen your awareness of 'who you are' and ‘how you are’ in this world. This is hard work, and often uncomfortable. Yet it's the work of self-discovery that gives you more choice and the flexibility to change.

Do you long to feel truly seen and supported? I know what it’s like to hold everything together on the outside while quietly falling apart inside. In early adulthood, I went through a period of burnout and emotional overwhelm—and it wasn’t until I connected with someone who truly listened that things began to shift. As a Pre-Licensed Professional and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I now offer that same compassionate presence to others.

I draw my approach from modalities of dialectical behaviour therapy, regulating the nervous system and somatic exercises.

In session I draw upon the neurobiology of trauma and attachment, parts work, somatic resourcing, mindfulness and cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia.
I’m Jess White, a Registered Psychotherapist based in Clarksburg, Ontario. I work with people navigating sleep disruption, emotional overwhelm, alcohol use, parenting shifts, and identity transitions—especially in midlife. What I offer isn’t just informed by professional training, but by lived experience—and by the many hours I’ve spent on the other side of the therapy room myself.

Therapeutic approaches like EMDR and Somatic therapy are used to help safely address the traumas that persistently affect and dysregulate the nervous system and to support in re-training the brain and body to function more adaptively and with more ease.
Life is beautiful but it is also hard, exhausting, sad, messy and temperamental. Coping with the intense pressures and stress we face can be very challenging and isolating. I believe therapy is about having a relationship where we can safely and authentically explore and discover where we tend to hide parts of ourselves, run away, and hold back our truth from the world. Together we will explore this in a manner that welcomes and supports your whole being to foster an ongoing process of self-awareness, healing and self development - and towards you moving in the world with greater resiliency, authenticity and a deeper sense of self.

“Finding yourself is not really how it works. You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a child and adult that became your beliefs about who you are. ‘Finding yourself’ is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.”

I rely on various modalities, but 3 in particular: Somatic Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Internal Family Systems/IFS or parts work.
I am heavily informed and guided by queer, trans, neurodiverse, feminist, decolonial, and animist lineages. In practice, this means I treat everything that emerges in your world as having value. Our work together is to bring a specific quality of attention and witness to yourself and your current reality, in hopes of integrating it fully within your system.

I believe that at the heart of effective therapy is the therapeutic relationship. It is the foundation in which trust, safety and our clinical work is built upon. I bring openness, empathy, and genuine care into our work together, along with 10 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. My work is anti-oppressive and intersectional, with your voice and experiences at the forefront of the process. I work with folks who want a collaborative partnership, at any stage of their healing.

I integrate Brainspotting, EMDR, DBR, Somatic Experiencing and other evidence-based approaches to help you heal from anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD, disordered eating, relationship struggles, and other patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
It might be hard to imagine what “better” could feel like — a life free from constant anxiety, depression, panic, or the heaviness of past experiences. You may have learned skills to manage symptoms, but no one told you that real healing is possible.
I help people move beyond coping to actually resolving the root causes of their struggles. Together, we work to release the ways your body has held onto the past so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more present. With the right tools and support, change can happen faster than you think — and it can last.

Have you been feeling stuck? Like, no matter how hard you try, things aren’t shifting the way you hoped. Life has been heavy lately, weighing you down, and those late-night thoughts keep circling, making you wonder what’s missing. Maybe your energy's low, and you slip into comparing, scrolling, or just checking out to cope. Deep down, you know change is possible. That wise inner part needs a little help finding where to start. I understand how hard it can feel doing it on your own.

Facing obstacles alone in life can be a challenge. Choosing to seek help is a significant step in a journey that leads to better self-awareness, improved mood and emotions, and a healthier relationship with oneself and others. My approach is strengths-based and focuses on the goals and challenges the client brings to the therapeutic space to help find a way forward.
While highlighting the resilience, strengths and successes clients already possess, we will also utilize thoughtful challenge and open and meaningful conversations that help deepen the understanding of emotions and the patterns and behaviours they influence.

My approach is relational and somatic, meaning we pay attention not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to how experiences show up internally and in the moment.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma and emotional patterns that feel automatic or hard to control, even when they understand them logically. From the outside, they often appear capable and put-together, but internally they may feel restless, unsettled, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I see are functioning well in their daily lives, yet still carry a sense that something important is missing or under pressure beneath the surface. They often reach out when insight alone hasn’t brought the relief they were hoping for, or when they are tired of maintaining external appearances.
