Why see a counsellor?

What happens in counselling?

What happens in counselling?

You may come to counselling to relieve worry, overwhelm, uncertainty, anxiety, low mood, burn out, or depression. Contributing factors may include workplace pressures, interpersonal conflicts, breakdown of romantic relationships, self doubt, equity issues, family conflicts, health issues, grief and loss, sexual identity, body image/disordered eating, substance use, or the legacy of childhood trauma. The team at From Anxiety to Ease specialize in lawyer mental health.

What happens in counselling?

You will be deeply listened to by your counsellor and actively responded to. Together, you will sort through confusions and uncertainties and discover options for resolving your mental health concerns. Solutions may involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing mindsets that support your goals, increase your well being, and grow strong emotional resilience skills and self confidence. You can explore practical and action oriented solutions such as improving communication skills and decision making skills. All of our counsellors specialize in lawyer mental health.

Jordana is a lawyer who is transitioning to becoming a psychotherapist to support the mental health needs of legal professionals. After practicing commercial litigation at the Toronto office of a national law firm and providing career counselling to law students at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Jordana recognized legal professionals' acute need for support from psychotherapists who understand some of the innate challenges that exist within the legal profession.  These challenges can exacerbate existing concerns and contribute to the presentation of depressive symptoms, anxiety, addiction, and interpersonal difficulties. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Jordana brings to her practice her personal lived experience as a lawyer and graduate-level education through a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She is currently completing her graduate training by providing clinical counselling through a supervised practicum at this practice as well as at York University in Toronto. Jordana takes an integrative approach to counselling, tailoring her therapy to each client's needs. Jordana looks forward to connecting and working with you on your wellness journey.
