Online Counselling for R3C

Many adults have experienced various forms of childhood trauma and/or neglect, self-criticism, or the feeling that significant relationships have been left unresolved. People often carry old solutions from childhood into their adult lives that are no longer serving them. If you are hoping to get to the root of deep issues and feel better, Jacqueline is passionate about helping people to better understand, accept, express, and positively transform their emotions. Jacqueline believes that a safe, genuine, non-judgmental, and warm relationship with clients is central to the work of therapy.

Welcome to West End Therapy, where the focus is on taking care of your emotional and relationship health. We are a group of compassionate and skilled Marriage & Family Therapists who are here to listen, seek to understand, collaborate with you and share expertise to support your mental health and the health of your relationships. We can help you figure out what patterns are causing distress and find a path that can support you and the ones you love move toward flourishing.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am a registered Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, stress, or any other mental health challenges, my goals as a therapist remain the same. First, I will learn about these challenges from your perspective. Second, I will try to understand how you have historically attempted to solve these issues on your own (or with help). And third, we will work together to form new and more effective strategies.

Currently accepting new clients with diverse reasons for referral such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship issues, and stress management.

The quality of the relationships we have with ourselves and others really determines the quality of our lives. I believe that within the right therapeutic relationship we can understand the origins of our feelings, impulses, patterns and reactions and begin to feel more in control. I enjoy working with individuals and families who are seeking to deepen their sense of peace within themselves and their relationships.

***IN PERSON AND ONLINE SESSIONS AVAILABLE. Our work has been informed by a number of different therapeutic models. In the last sixteen years we have been dedicated to integrate Narrative Ideas and Social Justice models into our practice. In those conversations that happen in our offices, people can reclaim their own preferred stories and re-define themselves by centering on stories that don't restrict their lives to the definition that the problem imposes on them. It's in the core of our work to believe that people that seeks for counselling come to it with a number of skills, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with over 30 years of experience in both public and private practice settings. I work with adults, couples and families. As Founder of Birch Wellness Center, a multidisciplinary collaborative private practice located in the heart of Winnipeg, I am committed to providing excellence in psychological, emotional and physical health. As an experienced clinician, I help clients resolve issues related to trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Often clients present with recurrent problematic behaviors that are holding them back, personally and in their relationships with others.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us. If you are feeling stuck in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviours due to issues such as family conflict, relationship issues, trauma, mental health issues, loss, or addictions, therapy can help you to grow and connect with yourself and those close to you again. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner or family, my approach focuses on helping you to find more presence, compassion, and clarity in your life and relationships.

I have extensive experience providing therapy and education on a wide range of mental health topics to youth, adults, families and communities. I help people struggling with symptoms consistent with their diagnosed disorders, such as anxiety, and mood disorders as well as those struggling with a compilation of stress in their lives, such as job, family/relationship, trauma, grief or addictions. At times we need extra support and guidance in dealing with life's challenges. I like to build on a person's strengths empowering them to make positive changes, reducing their negative coping and negative thought patterns.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

If you're a mother who is searching for mental health support because you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, overstimulated, like you're just not coping, or you're working on breaking cycles of generational trauma and re-parenting yourself, you are most certainly not alone. A safe space to talk about these unique challenges of motherhood with someone who understands can be so validating and healing.

Accepting new clients for online therapy! Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

I work from a strength based model, recognizing you as the expert in your life. Together we discuss goals for therapy, and collaborate on the best approach, while incorporating individualized coping strategies, attachment based perspectives, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy to treat trauma/PTSD/phobias. This is a brief therapy and treatment can be accomplished in 1-5 sessions. A.R.T uses bilateral stimulation, with a specific script (this allows you to go into the trauma without retelling). A.R.T is more somatic based than cognitive, compared to other treatments (EMDR)

No issues are too challenging to be solved. On the contrary, issues persist because we lack the requisite knowledge and strategies to fix them. Our experiences, knowledge, and education have enabled us to offer our clients practical, individualized, and psychological care. We specialize in treating several mental health disorders like Addictions, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, to name a few. In addition, we provide a neutral ground for individuals, families, and couples to narrate their stories in a non-judgmental way. We believe that our clients can heal themselves. Our job at Eagles Alternative Therapy is to empower our clients.

EMDR trained Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 17 years experience working in addiction services and mental health as a Clinical Counsellor and also as a Clinical Supervisor. I have recently moved back to Winnipeg from Vancouver where it is my hope to continue my passion of doing one to one clinical work. I have worked extensively within the 2SLGBTQQIA+* community, addictions, mental health, couples counselling, grief and loss and trauma. Fees are $140for individual sessions and $150 for EMDR sessions.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as your therapist. I approach therapy with the belief that my clients' lives contain the necessary ingredients to change, grow and heal themselves and their relationships. My role as your counsellor is to create an environment where you will feel heard and accepted. From here, you will be in a good position to gain insight into yourself, your behavior and your relationships. Once we have this type of insight, we can get to work and create lasting change. I will be there to support you every step of the way.

I am a sex and intimacy counsellor and educator. My approach is sex positive and practical. I provide guidance to improve the sex and intimate life for those single or coupled, of all genders and sexual orientations. My therapeutic approach involves mindfulness, relaxation (CBT), pleasure orientation and somatic awareness. I offer teachings that bring attention to choice and desire, that gives voice to clarity around needs and requests and that centres the requirement of true consent in the sex and intimacy realm. I am a certified Somatic Sex Educator with a masters degree in Educational Leadership, a former nurse and social worker.

We all experience difficult events in our lives. Some of these events happened a long time ago, and have influenced the way that we interact with ourselves and the world. Some of these events are more recent and throw us off the course we were on. We can become stuck in ways of being that are no longer helpful to us end up causing distress. I believe therapy can be a helpful way to process what has or is happening in our lives and encourage healthy adaptation and growth, so we can live our lives with more peace, happiness and connection.
