Jessie Burnie, MSW, RSW is a registered social worker providing clinical counselling and psychotherapy services. She has over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, and families.

Jessie is passionate about walking alongside children and youth, in partnership with their families, to guide them as they learn about, work through, and grow from, their traumas and mental health challenges.

Jessie’s approach is influenced by years of working within systems that put people into rigid boxes and does not allow for flexibility, and relationship. Jessie’s approach is one of empathy, care, warmth, and genuineness.

Jessie works from an eclectic mix of evidence-based, strength-based, and client centered therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectal Behaviour Therapy, and Solution-Focused modalities. She incorporates mindfulness and play-based activities into sessions. She also brings an attachment lens to much of her work to better understand the complexities of family dynamics, trauma, identity, self-esteem, and our overall mental health.

Jessie has experience working with individuals and families, on a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, self harm behaviours, grief/loss, self-esteem, identity, and foster/adoption.
