Restoring emotional and behavioral balance in your life
Hello, I’m Jennifer Mussell, a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Registered Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals on their journey to mental well-being. I offer phone and virtual counselling, making it easier to access support in a way that fits your life. I provide virtual EMDR therapy to address many forms of emotional distress to help individuals move forward in a more functional way.
My work is grounded in a client-centered, trauma-informed, and inclusive approach. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and at your own pace. I value the connection between mind and body, and I support clients in expressing themselves, sharing their stories, and developing skills that foster emotional and behavioural balance.
A primary focus of my work is EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that can help clients in creating meaningful, lasting change without needing to stay stuck in painful experiences. EMDR is used to support clients to move beyond many forms of emotional distress:
-
trauma
-
anxiety
-
panic
-
depression
-
overwhelm
-
post traumatic stress
-
complex PTSD
-
complex grief
-
relationship issues
-
dysfunctional patterns/behaviors
In our work together, you can expect a compassionate and engaged therapeutic relationship. I support clients in clarifying what they want for their lives, processing past experiences, and developing a clear, practical path forward. I strive to balance creating space for emotional exploration and healing with a focus on future steps and meaningful progress.
I take a collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I draw from a range of integrative approaches, including narrative therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). My experience includes work with a spectrum of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns, grief and loss, parenting and caregiving, and substance use. I walk alongside you, drawing on your knowledge, strength and experience and encourage goal setting and skill building to create behavioral and emotional balance.
As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I offer ADHD-informed support to neurodivergent clients, to support skill development and strategies to address the impacts of ADHD on daily functioning, career, and relationships, while amplifying the many strengths that accompany the challenges of ADHD.
From a place of stability, anything is possible!
For clients who are interested, I integrate Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy to increase the benefits of CBT, EMDR or narrative therapy. Hypnotherapy is used to support clients dealing with a range of issues including: inner child healing, PTSD and other trauma, anxiety, confidence, motivation, anger management, and breaking unwanted habits like sugar addiction or nail biting. We regularly find ourselves lost in thought, or adrift in music, or immersed in work - during hypnotherapy I support clients to harness that natural ability to drift off and guide them through a personalized therapeutic experience, promoting lasting positive change and emotional well-being. My training through Daybreak Therapy and Training and my designation as a Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist-Trauma Specialty (C.Hyp) allows me to provide thoughtful and competent hypnotherapy services to my clients.
Life Coaching: Unlock your potential. Reach your Goals. Transform your Life.
Are you feeling stuck? Are you ready to break free from limiting beliefs and take control of your life? I can help you do life differently by combining the empowering approaches of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or EMDR, and goal-oriented Life Coaching techniques. For those that are interested, the transformative power of hypnotherapy can also be integrated. I work with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your individual needs to help you succeed in career, work-life balance, relationships and health and wellbeing.
I believe a strong therapeutic fit is essential, and I encourage you to ask questions about my approach and values to ensure it feels right for you.
I look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your personal growth and healing journey.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements) to tap into your brain's natural processing mechanism, to get you unstuck from the way distressing experiences are stored, allowing them to be processed properly and lose their emotional intensity - so they stop quietly shaping how we react, relate to others, and feel about ourselves in the present.
