About Me

(She/Her Pronouns)

Welcome to The Healing Collective! Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’ve tried it before, I hope you find something that speaks to you and get some of your questions answered within this space.

I am a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. My practice is rooted in a deep commitment to social justice, solidarity and the act of witnessing. It is important to me that you feel safe and in control of our counselling sessions. I offer a non-judgmental environment and will check in with you to ensure that you are getting what you need from the counselling experience. My approach draws on a number of counselling modalities, including Cognitive and Dialetical Behaviour Therapies (CBT/DBT), Narrative Therapy, Compassion-focused Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I specialize in:

• Childhood Trauma
• Anxiety & Depression
• Feeling Stuck
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Hearing Voices or Having Unusual Beliefs
• Suicide
• Abuse
• Workplace Stress
• Workplace Trauma
• Life Transitions
• Grief & Loss
• Substance Use
• Self-Esteem
• Isolation & Longing for Connection

When I am not at The Healing Collective, I provide counselling through the Poul Hansen Family Centre for Depression at Toronto Western Hospital. I am a trained Clinical Supervisor and provide clinical supervision to social workers and psychotherapists – please email me if you want to find out more!

I currently work out of The Healing Collective on Friday evenings. My rate is $120/hour for individuals and $150 for couples and I offer free 20 minute consultations. I am currently offering sessions via secure video conferencing. Please feel free to contact me for more information at jamiellemen@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you!
