REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST COUPLES, COMMUNICATION, STRESS/BURN OUT & WOMEN'S HEALTH SPECIALTY VIRTUAL PRACTICE Part of the Rewriting Your Narrative Team, Jessica Schafer brings a wealth of experiences with her from private practice and mental health agency experiences. Here is a brief bio from Jessica Schafer: "I have a Master's of Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist under the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have previously worked for a family service agency, a multi-site non-profit counselling agency and another private practice. I feel deeply privileged to be able to offer clients a safe space to process, heal, and grow and I'm always in awe of the amazing courage and resilience I witness. " I work from a strengths-based stance, believing that the client is the expert on him or herself and already has the capacity for significant growth and healing. I use a number of different modalities in my work, matching various techniques and ideas to the needs of my clients and asking for feedback on what is working for them and what isn’t. I love to read and regularly do further research on issues my clients are facing. Recent influences have been Terrence Real, Harriet Lerner and Brené Brown. I am looking forward to pursuing training in Terrence Real’s Relational Life Therapy this year and hope to pursue EMDR training in the future." JESSICA RICCI, MACP/DCP(INP.)/RP/OAMHP
SENIOR ASSOCIATE; REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST DOCTOR OF COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY (DCP) - IN PROGRESS CLINICAL SUPERVISOR (PSYCHOTHERAPY) SPECIALIZING IN: Substance Abuse; Personality Disorders - Borderline Personality Disorder; Eating Disorders; Reflective Parenting/Attachment Jessica brings over 10 years of psychotherapy and counselling, garnered through a wide variety of clinical experiences. Beginning into this field, Jessica wanted to be involved in many different clinical environments in order to bring a wealth of knowledge to clients. Below, you can find more information regarding Jessica's career and motivations for pursuing psychotherapy. "Hi Friends, I have always had a fascination for learning about everything that is psychology at the start of my academic career. Whether this was the brain, consciousness, trauma, addictions, and even those complicated things we call emotions! As I progressed from my undergraduate degree in Psychology and decided to advance my learning with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, a different fascination came about. The ability to connect with and help another person through their traumas or life challenges became a focus point for me. To meet someone where they are at, validate and respect their past and their story, and have that person trust in my ability to help them, is something I can only describe as humbling. Now pursuing a Doctor degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy, I am brought to another stage in my career, one that is more focused, more specialized, and better equipped to help those that may be facing complex experiences. I have also started supervising undergraduate and Masters students, as well as qualifying psychotherapists (RP-Q). When I am working alongside the client that has chosen me as their psychotherapist, I like to refer to myself as the person that can put the pieces of the puzzle together. The client is the expert in their life, and their own narrative, I am really just the person that can see where everything fits and what pieces need to be rearranged to achieve their idea of wellness."
