Jess Dinsmore (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Clinical Intern from Yorkville University completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She is a therapist-in-training who offers a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for children (ages 7+), teens, and adults navigating life’s challenges. With a calm, introverted presence and a friendly demeanor, Jess works collaboratively to support clients through a variety of concerns, including ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship or communication difficulties. She is especially passionate about helping teens and young adults as they navigate the complexities of change and personal growth during transitional periods.
​
Jess has a special interest in working with individuals on the autism spectrum and those with ADHD. She also supports parents and families navigating neurodiversity and the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children. Her approach is compassionate and affirming, especially for those exploring gender identity, gender roles, struggling with family dynamics, bullying, self-harm, or setting healthy boundaries.
Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Jess tailors each session to meet the unique needs of her clients. She values connection but deeply understands the importance of personal space and reflection—a balance she brings into her therapeutic work.
When Jess is not focusing on academics or supporting clients, she enjoys being outdoors and taking in nature, traveling, spending time with her family and friends, and getting lost in a good fiction novel.
Jess is currently accepting new clients and looks forward to building trusting, empowering relationships on the journey toward personal growth and healing.
​
While she is fulfilling her practicum requirements, Jess will be working under the clinical supervision of Kanica Coshal, MSW, RSW. Jess’ services are being offered at a reduced rate.
