Jennifer Jurkofsky, MA, RP, CCC is a Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Life Coach at My Holistic Self Counselling. Jennifer’s journey towards the mental health field started in 1997 when she began her study of mental health determined to understand how we think and why we feel, perceive, and experience life as we do. Jennifer resonates deeply with Nouwen's "The Wounded Healer" as her desire to understand her own experiences of pain and suffering propelled her to want to use that understanding to help others. Though she is fully aware that every individual's experience is unique, Jennifer is also acutely aware that our patterns and responses are often quite similar. Her passion is to empower others to move from a state of surviving to a state of thriving. She does this by facilitating the learning and growth born from understanding and adjusting our perceptions and limiting beliefs. Jennifer’s desire to grow and help others led her to pursue dual undergraduate degrees, a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Social Work. She has worn many hats working in the field of mental health including counsellor, therapist, social worker, case worker, consultant, course author, coach, and instructor. In order to further her ability to help others, she completed her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and is a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Registered Psychotherapist, and Registered Acceptance and Commitment Therapist. She is certified in a range of energy healing modalities including Reiki Master, Aqualead Master, Nokti Grief Relief Practitioner, and EFT/TFT Practitioner. Jennifer is also a Certified Life Coach for adults and children, working with additional modalities such as Mindfulness Meditation, Therapeutic Art, and Shamanic Art Healing. Over the years, Jennifer has learned the benefits of pouring gratitude over her most challenging experiences and embracing the growth, however painful, that comes from them. It is her goal to provide a safe, compassionate and accepting therapeutic space for her clients to work through life's stresses toward acceptance and growth. Jennifer believes in weaving a fully holistic healing modality when working with her clients to help them heal from difficult experiences and negative limiting beliefs, to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. She believes that through developing a connection with one's True Self, we begin to understand that the conditioned beliefs and coping skills we have come to rely on are often the very things causing us pain and suffering. “The True Self is our Wise Mind, Heart of Hearts, Inner Being, consciousness, atman or Buddha-nature. When we can let go of conditioned thinking and come to realize we are not our thoughts and feelings but the one who observes them, we begin to see Truth manifest in our experience. It is in this place that we heal, that we grow, that we expand.” Jennifer’s sessions are Person-Centred and utilize Mindfulness, Process Healing, Gestalt, Transpersonal, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)/ Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). For her Spiritual Counselling and Intuitive Life Coaching clients, she works with a range of spiritual and religious practices to meet the needs and beliefs of her clients.
