Aruma

Mental + Emotional Wellness Services available in person in Lanark County + virtually across Ontario. Stay Tuned!

Aruma is a Mental & Emotional Health Collective, offering support to individuals, families, couples, and groups either in person or virtually, through a compassionate team of accredited counsellors, psychotherapists, and coaches. Our belief is that our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is as equally important as our physical health, and it is our responsibility to tend to it. You can find us in the beautiful town of Perth, ON, and if we are a little too far out of reach for you, we offer all of our services virtually as well. Aruma will begin to offer workshops and events again in the near future.

Please help us in welcoming our newest team member 🥳🧡

Jessie (RN, Psychotherapist) brings an integrative and compassionate approach to therapy, shaped by her background in nursing and mental health care. With a strong understanding of the nervous system, stress physiology, physical health, and psychotropic medications, she supports clients through both the emotional and biological aspects of healing.

She has extensive experience working with individuals living with serious and persistent mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and concurrent disorders — as well as the families who support them.

Having navigated her own experiences with burnout and compassion fatigue, Jessie holds a special interest in supporting caregivers and professionals seeking reconnection and sustainable wellbeing.

Jessie also worked for four years as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, developing deep insight into the needs of survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. She is committed to creating a trauma-informed, culturally safe, and 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive space where clients feel respected, supported, and secure.

Please help us in welcoming our newest team member 🥳🧡

Marli creates a gentle, compassionate space for teens and adults to explore healing from trauma, gender-based violence, and intimate partner violence.

She understands that trauma lives in both mind and body, and that real healing comes when we honor the wisdom of our nervous system and our lived experience.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and 500-hour yoga instructor, Marli weaves somatic practices, breathwork, and mindfulness with evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Her approach invites clients to reconnect with their bodies, cultivate self-compassion, and rediscover a sense of agency and inner calm.

Marli is collaborative and client-centred, creating a safe environment where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.

Counselling for Children, Youth & Teens

Growing up today is not simple.

Children and teens carry more than we often see — school pressure, social stress, anxiety, big emotions, and changes at home.

Sometimes it shows up as worry. Sometimes as withdrawal. Sometimes as behaviour that feels hard to understand.

Jessie, Kelli, and Krista provide counselling for children, youth, and teens who need a neutral space to talk, process, and build skills to navigate what they’re facing.

Support may focus on:
 • anxiety • emotional regulation • behaviour changes • school stress • family transitions

During different seasons of life, young people, at times, need someone outside the family to speak to — someone unbiased, consistent, and trained to listen.

We offer that space.

Read our team’s bios on our website, www.aruma.ca.

You can also schedule an appointment or send any inquiries there as well.

More often than not we hear:

“It feels so good in here.”
“I could smell Aruma before I could see it.”
“I might just stay here all day.”

We’re known for our rooms — but not because of décor alone.

Our spaces are built with intentional care, because the people who walk through our doors are often navigating a lot.

Sometimes it’s crisis. Sometimes it’s grief.
Sometimes it’s chapters that feel too heavy to hold alone.
Sometimes it’s redefining moments of self-evolution.
It all happens here; and more…

The colours are soft.
The lighting is gentle.
Textures are grounding.
The scent is familiar.

Not to impress — but to encourage people to feel a little more settled when they arrive.

Because the work that happens here is real, and the environment matters.

Our Carleton Place office is ready to receive you & your family.
Our Perth office is business as usual.

Come as you are.
We’ll put the kettle on.
Your stories are safe here.

When communication breaks down, it can feel exhausting.
 You have the same argument.
The same distance.
The same misunderstandings.

Relationship therapy can help to slow that down.
 It creates space to understand what’s happening and try something different.

Support is available — whether things feel strained or you simply want to strengthen what you have.

Relationship counselling is available with Lauren, Jennifer, Veronica, &/or Dianne. Read more about each of them on our website.

EMDR is available at Aruma with Dianne at our Carleton Place and Perth locations.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

It’s a structured, evidence-based therapy used to help process trauma, distressing memories, anxiety, and experiences that still feel “stuck.”

Some experiences don’t fully settle. They stay close to the surface and show up as anxiety, reactivity, or patterns that don’t shift.

EMDR helps the brain process those experiences so they no longer carry the same weight.

If you’re looking for focused trauma therapy, this is one option available at Aruma.

To book, click the link in our bio, or send a quick email to info@aruma.ca.
