Are you looking for clinical supervision?

Jennifer has 10 years of clinical experience and offers individual, dyadic, and group supervision.

She has a background in business and a breadth of knowledge about ethics and the CRPO, running workshops covering the standards of ethics to prepare for the entrance exam.
Whether you’re looking for general support, business help, support with ethics, or client support, Jennifer can help.

Jennifer’s approach is eclectic and person-centered, both with clients and with supervisees. She draws from a large range of different modalities, encouraging supervisees to tailor their approach to fit individual clients.
Jennifer’s niche client population is the LGBTQ+ community, but has experience with neurodivergent populations, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, chronic pain, and more.

There are three group supervision spots open:
Last Tuesday of the month from 1-3pm

The verdict is in from our book club: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck gave us plenty to talk about.
We loved the reminder that we get to choose what matters most and how to spend our energy. But we also noticed some blind spots—especially around trauma, identity, and how values are framed.

Overall? It’s a bold read that challenges perfectionism and invites us to live more meaningfully—if you can get past the blunt delivery.

💭 Have you read it? What’s YOUR verdict?

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, yet it is so often misunderstood. Myths about how grief should look can leave us feeling isolated or ashamed of our experience.

The truth is, grief is not linear, time-limited, or one-size-fits-all. Each person’s journey with loss is unique, and every expression of grief is valid.

If you’re currently navigating grief, please know that however it shows up for you is okay. And although it may feel vulnerable, sharing your journey with others may open up new opportunities for support, connection, and healing.

What’s a myth about grief that you wish more people understood?

One of our clinical directors, Kayleen, recently had the privilege of joining the Fearless Practice Podcast to talk about private practice growth and preparing for maternity leave.

In this episode, she shares:
• Why we believe in community over competition
• Lessons learned while building a group practice
• How she approached her maternity leave with intention and sustainability in mind

Hi 👋 my name is Stephanie ! A new addition to the affordable therapy team at Roots in Wellness. I recently thought to myself what better way to make an introduction than sharing one of my favorite things, the great outdoors!

Getting outside never fails to boost my mental health. Improving my mood and happiness; problem solving abilities and creativity; and helps regulate my sleep.

I can confidently say I always feel better after getting outside. Doesn’t matter if its for 15 minutes or 5 days. Getting outside never fails.

If you’re interested in starting therapy and want to know more about me and my approach you can find my bio in the link below.

I hope you get outside today!

Let’s talk about su***de prevention awareness.

Talking about su***de is one of the most powerful ways to break stigma and create hope, giving voice to those who feel they can’t say their pain aloud.

Everyday in Canada 12 people die by su***de, with each of those numbers carrying a whole person, story and community that matters.

If someone you know has been impacted by su***de, you can:

1. Reach out with kindness
2. Listen without judgment
3. Remind them they’re not alone
4. Care for yourself by staying connected, reaching out for support and holding on to your hope.

If you’re hurting, help is available:
- Call 9-8-8 Su***de Helpline

You can also access more crisis resources on our website: https://rootsinwellness.ca/resources/

And for specialized resources for the LGBTQ+ Community: https://rainbow-road.ca/

Do you ever catch yourself thinking:
“I shouldn’t feel this way,” or
“I’m being too sensitive?”

If so, you’re not alone. That inner voice is called self-invalidation — and it’s something many of us do automatically. While we may try to minimize our own pain to help ourselves feel better, this practice can actually make heavy emotions feel even harder to manage.

Self-validation is a DBT skill that can help you pause, notice, and honour your emotions as they are, rather than getting caught up in an exhausting internal battle.

What’s a feeling you’ve had recently that deserves acknowledgment?

When anxiety takes over, it can feel like your mind is racing and your body is stuck in “fight or flight.” One way to bring yourself back to the present moment is by using a grounding technique.

The 5-4-3-2-1 method helps calm the nervous system by engaging your senses and gently shifting your focus away from spiraling thoughts:

👀 Name 5 things you can see
✋ Notice 4 things you can touch (like the texture of your clothing or the chair you’re sitting on)
👂 Listen for 3 things you can hear (near or far)
👃 Identify 2 things you can smell
👅 Acknowledge 1 thing you can taste (or even imagine a favourite flavour)

Grounding can help interrupt anxious thought loops and bring your attention back to your body and your surroundings.

Save this post for when you need a quick reset, and feel free to share it with someone who might need this reminder too! 💚
