Sea to Tree Health & Wellness

My name is Jorden (she/her,) and I am a practicum student completing my master’s in counselling psychology through Yorkville University. I have spent the last several years working in both social services and as a first responder. My background consists mainly of working with folx in crisis or emergency situations, and I have come to learn how resilient we are and how much I value seeing and experiencing how we show up for one another. I also appreciate the way we show up for each other may look different to different people, and it is my responsibility as a counsellor to ensure that you have a safe space in which I can support you and your needs.

As a student, I am constantly learning and growing into my professional identity. My approach to counselling is client-centred, as you are the expert in your own needs and abilities, and it is my role to assist you in expressing and embodying your authentic self. This multi theoretical approach may take form in person-centred, emotion-focused, somatic, strength-based, mindfulness, or feminist theories. I believe that our mental well-being is a vital part of overall health, and it is my goal as a counsellor to support you in navigating your own wellness journey.

In my personal time I enjoy sharing adventures with my partner and our dog, slow mornings in the garden with a good cup of coffee, and consuming an alarming amount of fantasy and romance novels.

I am looking forward to working with individuals of all ages, including dyads and groups in whatever format feels best for you.
