About
My name is Jessamine (she/her) and I am a pre-licensed counsellor and uninvited settler on stolen xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) lands. I am a cisgender, queer, first generation Filipino-Taiwanese immigrant and diasporic writer, artist, and facilitator.
My approach to therapy is intersectional, social justice-oriented, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. I believe that experiences like healing and trauma are multi-layered, non-linear, and rarely occur in isolation to systems, communities, and the environment. I also believe that counselling is a bi- or multi-directional process where the client(s) and counsellor learn from and impact one another. You can expect me to be collaborative, warm, and curious.
I work with individuals and relationship clients exploring concerns and themes around anxiety, depression, complex family dynamics, grief, identity exploration, neurodivergence, 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, relationship conflict, religious trauma and spiritual exploration, and navigating diasporic connection/disconnection to ancestry and culture.
I use an eclectic and integrative approach but am drawn to Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Internal Family Systems/ parts work, and Somatic Therapy. I hope to be able to co-create spaces to dream alongside one another, collaborate together, and foster space for BIPOC magic, ancestral wisdom, and learning from non-human kin.
Outside of counselling, I find joy in anime and manga, music, games, collaborative and parallel art-making, and community.
I am fully vaccinated, regularly boosted, and will wear a mask for in-person sessions. You are welcome to wear a mask, but are not required to.
Jessamine is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 & regularly boosted.
