I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples. I have been working in the Mental Health field since 2012 and am very excited to be a part of the Journey Well Team! I grew up in Oxford County and am the mother of two amazing kids! I believe that you are the author of your own story. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space within which you can share your concerns and hopes; allowing you to grow, explore and understand your emotions and how they impact you and your relationships. I am committed to understanding your unique needs, strengths, and goals.

In our work together, I will tailor my approach to you and what best fits your needs. I use various approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. All my work is trauma and attachment informed.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression and the impacts of trauma. I support couples and individuals to overcome relationship challenges and deepen their connections to each other.

As we develop a therapeutic relationship, my hope is that you will find a place to be heard, understood, validated and empowered to be the person or couple you desire to be.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who has been in practice for 14 years. In that time, I have worked in community mental health settings, as well as private practice in London, Woodstock, and St Thomas, Ontario. In 2019, I moved into private practice full time.

The focus of my work is on creating a safe space for clients to engage with their story in a vulnerable way. In that setting, we can begin to address a variety of concerns that are causing distress. Areas of concern that I can support clients in addressing include couple relationships, trauma, mental health, particularly anxiety, and life transitions. Models that I favour include EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and DBT, as well mindfulness/meditation.

When I’m not seeing clients, I’m engaged in one of my many other activities. I have 2 young children, which keep me busy, and I am involved in the community through local initiatives. In my downtime, I love reading and gardening!

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have yet sometimes we need additional support to navigate the challenges of life. Being a child or youth can be challenging for a variety of reasons, and it can be hard as a caregiver to see your children struggle. I will work alongside you and your child to explore the changes you wish to make while gaining awareness and insights into why these situations occur. Collaboratively we will talk about and discuss your specific concerns while exploring the benefits of mind-body connections, routine and structure, and learning about building a better relationship with those you love.

I hope that you will find a genuine approach, a safe and welcoming space, and an opportunity to share, explore and navigate the journey that you are on.

Hello, my name is Erica Hall (she/her). I am a student Art Therapist and the latest intern to join the Journey Well Health & Wellness team.

I’ve been passionate about art for as long as I can remember, and after over 15 years of personal therapy experience, I’ve gained a real appreciation for how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing. This journey led me to pursue a career as an art therapist through the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy, where I’m currently refining my skills to help others unlock their own transformative potential through art.

Along the way, I’ve had the chance to wear many different hats, each one helping me grow in unique ways. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s University and my MUA Certification from CMU in Toronto. As a makeup artist, I loved helping people feel more confident and express themselves through aesthetics. I also worked as a Community Life Facilitator, where I helped create welcoming supportive spaces for people from all walks of life, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

People often describe me as friendly, approachable, and full of positive energy. I try to bring a blend of creativity and compassion to everything I do. My personal experiences and my ongoing studies in art therapy allow me to offer a warm, understanding presence as I guide and support others on their own healing journeys.

If you’re looking for a safe and welcoming space to explore your feelings through art, I’d love to work with you. My goal is to provide a meaningful, engaging experience that helps you grow, discover new insights, and reach your fullest potential.

You can reach Erica directly at (226) 253-0505 or via our main phone number (226) 253-0864, ext. 210. Erica can also be reached via email at: erica@journeywell.ca.

Hello, my name is Jane Martin but I am known as “Miss Jane” to the families that I work with. I am born and raised in Oxford County and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

It can be an overwhelming task to make sense of your children’s behaviours and know how to best support them when they are challenged with their “big emotions”. These emotions can stem from a wide variety of reasons and I am here to help you process these emotions and work together on your parenting journey.

The pressures and demands of everyday life can truly be overwhelming. Children, youth and families are continually trying to wrestle with and balance the expectations the society and ourselves place on our person and the ones we care about. Our lives are habitually in motion leaving very little time for self-reflection, self-compassion and planned reactions in an effort to keep us, and those we are responsible for, grounded.

I am a Registered Social Worker and a Certified Child and Youth Care Practitioner with many years of experience helping children, youth, and family units work individually, as well as collectively, to live their best life. I practice relationally through a trauma-informed lens within the life space that the client(s) feel most comfortable in. I have extensive experience working with behavior challenges with both children and youth, and in helping parent’s better cope, understand, and manage the tough patches. I hold tremendous respect for parents and the tough job they do and equal respect for children and youth trying to navigate their young lives with the stresses of today. I have a passion for working along beside teens in their journey to finding themselves and becoming the person they chose to be by supporting them on just that; their journey! If you are looking for someone that is able to hold safe space for you to explore your struggles and work towards feeling less stuck, then I think we could work well together.
