I believe that in depth assessments are important to properly assessing and determining how to best assist the clients I serve. Some situations are very complicated, and ensuring a good understanding of the specifics can lead to better outcomes. I offer virtual and telephone counselling , as well as text based counselling services in real time or secure asynchronous counselling. My website can be found at www.jennifermcguinness.ca. For a link to the text based counselling click on the "Get In Touch" button on my webpage. Due to character limitations, I have more capacity to post information from my webpage.
I have experience in mental and physical health, addictions, domestic violence, and legal issues. I understand the complications of the intersecting social issues. (Level One CBT, Level Two CBT, Certificate in Trauma Counselling for Front-Line Workers - Level One and Level Two, Certificate in Children's Grief and Bereavement)
I am committed to creating a collaborative and compassionate environment in which you feel safe to explore the challenges you are facing, and I offer this in multiple formats such as text as I recognize there are barriers to scheduling for many people who may work hours/have childcare needs that don't align with traditional appointment times.
