Jessie Bhatia
Therapist / RPshe/her/hersJessie is a trauma-informed therapist who supports adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and complex relationship patterns. She works with deep care for the parts of clients that hold shame, self-criticism, and emotional pain—helping them feel seen, understood, and supported throughout the healing process
Her approach integrates EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, and mindfulness-based practices. Through psychodynamic work, Jessie helps clients gently bring unconscious patterns, attachment wounds, defenses, and emotional responses into awareness as they naturally emerge in the therapeutic relationship. This insight allows clients to understand not only what they are struggling with, but also how and why certain patterns continue to show up in their lives and relationships.
- Individual Therapy
- Virtual Therapy
- Trauma, anxiety or depression keep hijacking your day even though you know “everything is fine on paper.”
- You would like evidence-based strategies with just enough humour to keep the process human.
- Perfectionism, people-pleasing or impostor feelings are blocking your confidence at work or home.
- Major life changes, career pivots, medical challenges, grief, identity shifts, have left you feeling unmoored.
- You value a therapist who will both listen deeply and challenge you, so sessions feel like forward motion, not a weekly replay.

Jessie selects the right tool for each moment rather than forcing the moment to fit the tool.
Therapy with Jessie is grounded, relational, and reflective. She works from the nervous system outward—helping clients process unresolved experiences while also building emotional regulation, self-trust, inner safety, and healthier relational patterns.
Jessie works extensively with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, burned out, or weighed down by past experiences. Many of her clients appear “high functioning” while privately struggling with shame, people-pleasing, emotional avoidance, low self-worth, or fear in relationships. Jessie supports clients in understanding these parts with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
Clients often describe Jessie as direct, deeply empathetic, and genuinely supportive. She offers a space that is honest, attuned, and emotionally safe—where clients can explore the parts of themselves they’ve learned to hide, reconnect with their inner world, and move toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and more meaningful relationships.
At the core of Jessie’s work is the belief that healing happens through insight, emotional connection, mindfulness, and the strength of the therapeutic relationship itself.
