Hi! I'm Jess.
I'm so happy you're here.
I want to first start by introducing myself - I've been a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW in good standing for over a decade and have been working with individuals, families and youth in various capacities for nearly thirteen years.
Ellara Counselling Services will be offering virtual counselling and psychotherapy to adults, women and parents navigating life transitions, parenting challenges, neurodivergence, mental health concerns and burnout.
Now that that's over with, I want you to know that there's more to it than that. This work means a lot to me because finding a therapist you can connect with is important.
Why?
Because I know what it feels like to feel stuck in my own head and in my own thoughts.
I know what it feels like to feel overwhelmed, lonely, irritable, and sometimes even lost. I know what it feels like to struggle postpartum, to not feel like myself and to experience an entire identity shift. I know that talking to someone who gets it matters.
The truth is, we all know what it feels like to struggle with our mental health in some capacity. I won't pretend to know everything because we all carry our lived experiences, resilience and strength in our own way. Sometimes we just need a reminder of that.
We're all living this human experience - some days are harder than others - and sometimes we need to reach out for help.
That's where I come in.
I'm here to offer a safe, grounded, and judgment-free space for you to talk, grow, and most importantly, to transform your mental health.
I'm here to help.
If you're ready to take the first step, book a free phone consultation by emailing me at [email protected] or book an appointment at ellaracounselling.janeapp.com.
Evening and weekend appointments are available to adults in Ontario.
With care,
Jessica Bois
