Ms Jennifer Petryschuk, MEd

Registered Psychotherapist

“I am a body-based psychotherapist. Does this mean that I am going to make you do "downward dog" in session? No! It just means I find a way to bring the body into our conversation in order to treat issues rooted in trauma including issues in the workplace, relationships or sex. Looking forward to hearing for you soon!”

About Me

As a body-based psychotherapist, I help you explore how physical sensations connect to your experiences. We won't be doing yoga; instead, we'll gently bring your body into our conversations. This approach is especially helpful for issues rooted in trauma. We can address challenges in your workplace, relationships, or sex life. I offer a space where you can understand these deep-seated issues and find lasting relief.

Approach

Are you searching for a compassionate and innovative way to address life's challenges? With my expertise in somatic psychotherapy, I incorporate the body into our conversations, helping you uncover the roots of stress, ADHD, or relationship difficulties. Located in Toronto, I also provide remote sessions, making it convenient for you to explore these issues from anywhere in Ontario. Whether you're dealing with burnout, sexual concerns, or navigating complex relationships, I'm here to offer guidance with Imago Relationship Therapy and mindfulness practices. Let's embark on this journey together
