My name is Alyssa Jackson MACP, RCC, CCC and I am a mental health therapist specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. I come with 18 years of professional experience in the field and have life experiences that allow me to have empathy, understanding, insight, patience and encouragement for helping others through challenging and emotionally draining times.
I have lived experiences that have allowed me to learn, grow, change and have RENEWED HOPE! I have experienced grief, loss, divorce, single parenting, stress, mental health and anger that have impacted me, taught me and changed me and allow me to help others through giving RENEWED HOPE that you can overcome and that these experiences do not have to define you but are building blocks to who you are presently and who you are becoming through healing, grace and freedom.
We all have unique experiences, perspectives and life journeys that have brought us to where we are. It is my HOPE that I can help guide, support, encourage and teach skills to help you find your own RENEWED HOPE that life can be different, one moment at a time.
I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. I maintain certification as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCC)
I have training in:
Emotion Focused Family Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Gottman Couples Method
Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk
Trauma Informed Practices
It is my HOPE you will find a compassionate, empathetic, safe haven for sharing part of your life journey as you open up and share part of who you are with me in a quiet, respectful, honest and open place where you and your story are kept confidential.
Through RENEWED HOPE you can find peace, grace and joy and the freedom in moving forward in your life journey; after all life is a journey, it is not a destination.
