Jennifer Roesler - Registered Provisional Psychologist

​











I hope to create a collaborative and working relationship with each of my clients. It can be daunting to face one’s sufferings and concerns. However, by walking this journey with you, I hope we can build the skills and resilience for you to face these experiences with newfound hope, understanding, and change. I enjoy working with adults, youth, couples, and families with a variety of concerns. 

I have experience counselling individuals with substance use, medical procedures in hospitals, students and youth engaging in at-risk activities, brain injury, or those struggling with mental health difficulties. As a result, I developed a sensitivity towards traumatic situations, abuse, and suicide. Additionally, I have been married for over 7 years and I love working with couples to help increase communication, overcome betrayal, or even work on managing everyday life together. I am non-status Indigenous and looking to supporting fellow indigenous people. I hope to create a comfortable space for people to share their experiences and difficulties. 
 
My main approach to therapy is CBT. This involves addressing your thoughts and how they interact with your emotions and behaviours. I also have completed my EMDR level 1 training and can utilize this technique with clients for a multitude of trauma situations. Additionally, I like to work with Existential Psychology for those searching for a more in-depth approach. For families, I utilize the approach of Structural Family Systems which aims to create healthier boundaries among family members. I also employ the strengths of other theories such as DBT, Attachment theory, and ACT, to create a well-rounded practice. I love using different mediums in therapy, such as art, drama, or music. Overall, I hope to create a therapy tailored to you, as you are the author of your story.

My Favourite Quote is from Viktor Frankl’s book “Man’s search for meaning”: “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances- to choose one’s own way."
