What we offer

Evidence-based therapy for folks looking to make real change.

We know everyone comes into therapy with at least some stereotypes of what to expect... Maybe you expect a staunch, sterile environment with a withdrawn therapist taking notes; maybe you expect a waxy leather couch to lie down on. Who knows what you've got in your head...

What you can expect from us is a warm welcome from an engaged, down-to-earth therapist who truly cares about your journey.

Our goal is to help you build a tangible plan that leads to you living out your best life.

Meet Jessica

Jessica Roper, MSW, RSW
OWNER & PRINCIPAL THERAPIST

Jessica is a Registered Social Worker licensed throughout the Maritimes with the NSCSW, PEISWRB, and NBASW. She has been in clinical practice over 14 years.

Jessica has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Cape Breton University, A Bachelor of Social Work (Honours with Distinction) and a Master of Social Work both from the University of Windsor Ontario.

Jessica’s clinical practice is informed by attachment theory and an IFS informed lens. She primarily uses EMDR (standard protocol, DeTUR protocol and IFS integrated EMDR), DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting), Somatic Experiencing, Emotion Focused Therapy for couples, and The Gottman Approach in her clinical practice.

Jessica enjoys working with adults 18+ for a variety of concerns, including Complex trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression and negative beliefs about the self and self image for individual therapy. Jessica offers couples therapy and has experience working within indigenous communities and the LGBTQI2S+ population.

When not in the office, she is most often found hiking mountains with her Standard Poodle, Sampson James, rock climbing, camping or reading while consuming altogether too much coffee!
