Joan Smith

EMDR Certified Therapist

J.E.S. Counselling

Welcome to J.E.S. Counselling, a trusted name in mental health support based in Newmarket, Ontario. With over 25 years of experience, I am a Registered Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, and mental health challenges.

I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a transformative treatment approach for adults. Through EMDR, I facilitate the re-processing of distressing memories, providing a path to peace and empowerment.

My expertise also includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Brief Solution Focused Therapy. I address a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, sleep disturbance, low self-esteem, trauma, and grief/loss.

My career spans diverse settings, including women’s shelters, Victim Services of York Region, and hospital emergency departments. I offer support tailored to individual needs.

My mission is to empower individuals to discover their strengths, recognize their value, and navigate emotional pain for a flourishing life.
