Speaker Highlight ✨

We’re proud to highlight the incredible work of our therapists, Kristina Sunstrum and Melissa Trunzo, who recently facilitated an experiential presentation for allied mental health professionals within the school setting.

Grounded in principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), the workshop invited participants to explore how understanding their own internal “parts” can deepen self-awareness, strengthen compassion, and support more meaningful connections with children and youth. Through reflection and experiential exercises, Kristina and Melissa guided professionals in exploring how greater inner awareness can foster emotionally safe, regulated, and supportive environments for students, while also supporting burnout prevention and emotional sustainability for helping professionals themselves.

Thank you, Kristina and Melissa, for sharing your knowledge, warmth, and passion with the community!

✨ We’re now offering the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) at Juniper Counselling Centre ✨

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a gentle, music-based listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system and support a greater sense of calm, connection, and balance.

Using specially filtered music, SSP sends cues of safety to the brain and body through frequencies similar to the human voice. This can help individuals feel more settled, emotionally regulated, engaged, and connected.

SSP may support kids, teens, and adults who:
• Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or “on alert”
• Have difficulty calming their body or emotions
• Are easily overstimulated
• Struggle with focus or transitions
• Feel reactive, shut down, or disconnected
• Find relationships or social situations challenging

Many people use SSP alongside counselling to support emotional regulation, resilience, social connection, and overall nervous system health.

✨ Available virtually
📍 In-person in Manotick

Curious to learn more?

We’d be happy to connect and answer any questions about whether SSP may be a good fit for you or your child.

The teenage years can be a time of growth, change, and self-discovery, but they can also feel overwhelming. Many teens struggle with anxiety, stress, peer relationships, school pressure, and self-esteem.

At Juniper Counselling Centre, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where adolescents can feel safe to talk openly and be heard. Our therapists support teens in exploring their emotions and building practical coping skills for everyday life.

Using evidence-based approaches, we help teens strengthen emotional awareness, resilience, and self-understanding so they can navigate challenges with greater confidence💫

May isn’t about rushing into bloom. It’s about small, steady shifts. About tolerating the in-between. About trusting that growth is happening even when it feels uncertain.

✨ When February starts to feel a little long, here is your reminder that your brain has its own happiness squad ✨

🧠 Dopamine — the “reward” chemical
That little boost you feel when you achieve something, check off a goal, or try something new. Celebrate small wins today!

🤍 Oxytocin — the “connection” chemical
Hugs, laughter, deep conversations, and feeling safe with people you love. Reach out to someone who makes you feel at home.

🌞 Serotonin — the “mood stabilizer”
Sunlight, gratitude, movement, and nature help keep your mood balanced. Step outside and breathe it in.

💪 Endorphins — the “natural pain relievers”
Exercise, dancing, music, or even a good laugh can trigger that feel-good rush.

Remember: happiness isn’t just one big moment, it’s a mix of tiny chemical sparks happening every day. What’s one thing you’ll do today to boost yours? ✨
