ABOUT JALEENA

I am a passionate therapist, mother and wife. I’ve worked in the Social Work field for over 12 years supporting individuals and families facing mental health and addiction challenges.

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Social Work Degree, Holistic Nutrition Diploma, Somatic EMDR Certificate, and I am a past graduate of 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

Marisa Rose Wellness was born out of a deep desire to help women heal similar to the way I experienced my own healing. I spent many years disconnected, overwhelmed and stuck in old survival patterns. My own healing experience has shaped the way I now hold space for others.

My passion for this work continues to be fueled by having personally felt and experienced the power of therapy as a client and as a therapist.

Today, I help people move out of survival mode and into deeper connection with themselves. I work with people who are ready to explore new ways of healing, especially when talk therapy hasn’t been enough.

I live in Huron County, Ontario and in addition to in office and virtual sessions I also offer Outdoor Therapy on my farm just 10 minutes from Goderich.

MY APPROACH

Holistic & Integrative

I integrate practices and techniques in sessions that nourish, heal and restore balance on a mind-body-soul level. I especially love to use bottom up (somatic) and top down (cognitive) processes to encourage your innate capacity for healing and integration of emotional wounds. Somatic EMDR offers this experience.
Trauma Informed , Trained & Experienced

As a Trauma Trained and Trauma Experienced Counsellor I am sensitive to your unique needs. I believe healing happens when we feel internally safe, connected and empowered. I pay special attention to mind-body awareness and nervous system functioning to enable you to build resilience and develop a felt sense of inner safety. Therapy with me is collaborative and deeply relational. I am far from a blank slate.
Memory Reconsolidation

The subconscious mind leads the majority of our behaviours and reactions. Our core beliefs about the world, ourselves and others are stored here below our conscious awareness. Research has proven that neural pathways in our brain can be “updated” leading to a decrease in emotional reactivity or even elimination of some disruptive behaviours and reactions. I love utilizing my training in memory reconsolidation to facilitate the updating of core beliefs that are stored in the subconscious mind.
