ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE OF ISSUES
My commitment is to help you shift out of unhealthy patterns keeping you stuck in fear, guilt, blame, and shame. Living life stuck in "pain patterns," robs you of your peace, potential, and happiness. I will work with you to clear negative patterns based in subconscious programming at the root cause. Move forward with enthusiasm and excitement for life.
ACTIVATING YOUR INNATE HEALING POTENTIAL
I believe healing is possible when we open ourselves to accepting fundamentally who we are as persons at a deeper level. When this occurs there is no longer a need to search compulsively for acceptance outside of oneself. I support my clients to embrace their authenticity, to resolve inner conflicts, and to rise above obstacles with courage. The primary guiding principle in my work with clients is from Gestalt Therapy and “The Paradoxical Theory of Change,” which teaches, “the more a person accepts themselves the healthier they become.”

After Jason completed his Masters Degree from the University of Toronto, he sought out extensive training and certification from the Gestalt Institute of Toronto (an approved psychotherapy training institution by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) and graduated from the five year Post-Graduate program in Professional Psychotherapy. Gestalt is a psychodynamic psychotherapy that helps people come to understand how they interfere and block their own needs and support in favour for old defence mechanisms. The goal of Gestalt is to increase awareness , move towards greater authenticity of self, and to tap into the creative potential that is required to satisfy human needs.
In addition to private practice work, Jason has been employed with community based clinical counselling agencies in Newmarket and York Region providing Cognitive-Behavioural and Solution-Focused Therapies to individuals, couples and families and mentoring/supervising student therapists. His background working with people from diverse populations, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations has equipped him to understand the unique needs of individuals.
In his search to help people from traumas and deeper issues, Jason studied various methods to activate the healing power of the subconscious. This pursuit involved certifying in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT), and Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT). These cutting edge mind-body therapies work to release negative emotions/energies and to change behaviour more automatically.
