Hey there,

Hey, I’m JaMeshia.

I’m a licensed therapist, mental performance coach, and yoga teacher. My work centers on helping people feel better on the inside, not just look like they have it together on the outside.

I work with people who are used to showing up, handling their responsibilities, and pushing through, even when it’s a lot. Over time, that can turn into anxiety, stress, overthinking, and feeling disconnected from yourself.

My approach blends psychology, mindset work, and real-life emotional support. We focus on understanding what’s going on underneath, shifting the patterns that keep repeating, and helping you feel more steady, clear, and like yourself again.

I’ve been a therapist for over 10 years and earned my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Ottawa University. What I value most in this work is creating a space where you don’t have to perform, just show up as you are and start making sense of things at your own pace.

Outside of sessions, I’m usually watching sports, staying active, or spending time with my family and friends. I also take karaoke very seriously and love a good game night.

FAQ: Therapy, but make it make sense

"Do I need to be falling apart to start therapy?"

Nope. Not even close.
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support. Therapy isn’t just for breakdowns—it’s also for breakthroughs, burnout, and just figuring yourself out. If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected… that’s enough.

"What do people usually come to you for?"

Glad you asked.
Most of my clients are dealing with:

  • Anxiety & overthinking

  • Emotional numbness or burnout

  • Perfectionism and impostor syndrome

  • People-pleasing

  • Not knowing what they feel or want anymore

  • Just being tired of holding it all together

If that’s you, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

"What’s your therapy style like?"

Relatable, non-judgy, and real.
I’m not here to analyze you from a distance. I’m here to sit with you, ask the right questions, and help you reconnect with the version of you that’s been buried under pressure, stress, and shoulds.

I use a person-centered, strengths-based, relational approach—which means:

  • You lead the way

  • I bring reflection, tools, and structure

  • Together, we go deeper without rushing

"Is this talk therapy? Do we do worksheets?"

It’s talk therapy—but not the “just vent for an hour” kind.
We explore what’s under the surface and figure out what to do with it.
If you're into journaling, practicing self-reflection between sessions, or having light structure—cool, I got you. But I won’t overload you with homework.

"Do you take insurance?"

I’m a private-pay therapist, which means I don’t bill insurance directly.
Some clients use their out-of-network benefits for reimbursement—let me know if you want help figuring that out.

"How do I start?"

Easy. Click here and fill out the contact form.
You’ll hear from me within 48 hours with next steps. If we’re a good fit, we’ll set up a consultation or your first session.
