Supporting you from the Heart

Jessica Hart, MSW, RSW 

I believe in working collaboratively with my clients in order to provide the most effective and long-lasting support. My strength is building rapport with my clients which I believe to be the most important and fundamental component of the therapeutic alliance. I support my clients in developing goals and understanding the blocks that get in the way of achieving them. I commend my clients for their courage in wanting to make changes, grow and deepen their self-awareness. I encourage my clients to utilize self-compassion in understanding how their life experiences have influenced who they are. I work to empower clients to be able to tackle life’s stressors and obstacles. I practice from a non-judgemental, client-centred, strength-based and anti-oppressive approach.
