As an experienced counselling psychotherapist with over 18 years of expertise and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with unresolved trauma that manifests in various ways, including chronic physical pain, relationship challenges, work absenteeism, substance use, mood fluctuations, and a profound sense of tiredness or lack of motivation. Trauma can have deep and lasting effects on both the body and mind, and I work with clients to uncover the root causes and begin the journey of healing.

What I Offer

Trauma-Informed Therapy; Holistic Approach Support for Relationship Strains; Addressing Work and Motivation Challenges; Mood Regulation and Emotional Resilience

Why Work With Me? I bring a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to therapy, recognizing the complex nature of trauma and its effects. With a deep understanding of how trauma impacts both physical and emotional well-being, I am dedicated to walking with you through your healing journey. My approach is individualized and collaborative, empowering you to heal at your own pace and in your own way.

Healing Starts Here If you’re struggling and your quality if life is impacted, I invite you to take the first step toward healing. Together, we can explore the underlying causes of your pain and begin the transformative work of healing, restoring balance, and reclaiming your life.

SESSIONS AVAILABLE FOR ALBERTA RESIDENTS

I’m Jayce Gushnowski, a Master of Counselling student at City University of Seattle with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grant MacEwan University. I am excited to offer counselling support as I complete my internship starting Fall 2025.

If you are looking for support with day to day stress, anxiety, relationships concerns, life transitions, or simply want a space to talk and be heard, I would be happy to connect with you. As I am an immersing practitioner, at this time I am not equipped in the areas of past traumas, co-occurring mental health diagnoses, or substance use concerns.

Whether this is your first time seeking counselling or you’ve had therapy before, I aim to create a comfortable environment where you feel understood and supported. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and adaptability to meet each person where they are to create a safe and supportive space. I am passionate to work with diverse individuals with various life experiences to co-create opportunities to find meaningful change.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and guided by cultural sensitivity. In sessions, I draw on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Outside of studies and work, I find balance and self-care in participating in activities like team sports, fitness, arts/crafts, and travelling.

As therapy is deeply personal, I am dedicated to creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental and supportive space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences safely. I will work collaboratively with you to identify and deconstruct the stories that may contribute to your struggles and empower you to re-author your story to highlight your innate strengths and resilience, as I believe that you are the expert of your own life and the architect of your future.

I am passionate about helping people navigate various life experiences, including general well-being; processing grief and loss; navigating and thriving with Anxiety, OCD, depression, managing stress and burnout; acculturation concerns, bicultural identity development, communication difficulties, and addressing behavioural concerns. I use an integrative approach to therapy, pulling interventions and strategies from theories such as Solution Focused, Emotion-focused, Strength-based, Narrative, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The therapeutic approach is tailored to the client and their presenting concerns, with the goal of exploring issues, and creating meaningful change in clients’ lives.
