Jestina Pitre is a Certified Canadian Counsellor, Brainspotting Therapist (Phase 1), and a recent graduate from Yorkville University's Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program. Jestina is a Licensed Counselling Therapist - Candidate through the College of Licensed Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick. Jestina strives to create a warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel comfortable being their authentic selves.
Jestina recognizes that every person enters therapy with different experiences, strengths, needs, and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, she works collaboratively with each client and adapts the therapy process to suit the individual. Her practice draws from person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based therapy. She remains flexible in her work, selecting and integrating approaches that she believes will be most helpful for each client.
She has a particular interest in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, identity-related challenges, and significant life transitions. Jestina helps clients better understand themselves, recognize their existing strengths, and work towards meaningful changes that align with their values. She believes that therapy should be a place where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment.
Jestina offers individual therapy for clients ages 10 and older, as well as couples therapy. She provides both in-person and virtual sessions.
