Jen Nicholson, Psychotherapist in Muskoka
Supporting Adolescents & Adults
All that we are is story - it’s what we arrive with and all that we leave behind.
— Richard Wagamese
I have been working in private practice as a psychotherapist for several years. Prior to this, I worked as Psychotherapist and Social Worker in community-based healthcare.
I have lived in the Muskoka area for about 25 years.
When I am not working, I tend to be with my partner, adult children or four-legged children. I love to be active outside - paddling, skiing, running, hiking or biking. Simply taking in a mindfulness moment is where the soul settles.

A Little Bit About Me…
Photography.
I love capturing mood, meaning and experiences through photography - nothing too high tech - just simple everyday moments caught on my phone camera - all the pictures on this website are local pictures I took.
Spirituality.
Respecting all faiths and spiritual journeys / practices - I recognize that for many of us, matters of the spiritual / faith world are integral parts of our healing and meaning making.
Embodied Living.
Walking, paddling, swimming, dancing, running, arts, yoga... the list goes on. Talk therapy has its place and role - and yet the body therapies are where so much is released, soothed, healed and realized.
“Therapists are not experts on your life... Their expertise is in creating the ‘container’ or experience in which you can discover your truth.”

Credentials
“Growth requires us to leave something behind. It can be our habits, beliefs, careers, mindset and even people... This is why making space for grief in the midst of growth is important. You will mourn your former life to make space for a newer one.”
