Ms. Jessica Armstrong

Ms. Jessica Armstrong

MA in Counseling Psychology, Yorkville University
Years in practice: 7
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and process through emotional pain, however, I also acknowledge that sometimes we lose touch with our innate resources and safe connections. My role as a therapist is to provide space for clients in an empathic, non-judgemental, and curious manner in order to aid in their self-discovery. I work from a client-centred approach such that the client leads each session, while I provide reflection, feedback, and space for them to process and safely explore all parts of themselves. I incorporate components of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in helping men who can get ‘stuck’ and struggle with transitions in life such as retirement from sport, losing a job, divorce, re-locating or simply helping you to figure out a purpose for what comes next. My approach is simple; non-judgmental, open and empathetic to client experiences. I take a broad perspective to understanding my client experiences and integrate historical information to formulating a plan to help clients resolve problems now. Depression, anxiety disorders, loneliness, anger and substance abuse are key areas that I specialize in.

Rim Yassine

REMOTE ACROSS ONTARIO

Rim Yassine

MA, The University of Queensland
Years in practice: 11
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.
