Jess Marshall

  • Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT)

  • Registered in Nova Scotia & Ontario

Hi! My name is Jess and I am a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT) and Registered Psychotherapist (RP), who is physically based in Mi'kma'ki (Nova Scotia). I provide affirming, evidence-informed counselling for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and ethically non-monogamous individuals and couples. My approach is client-centered, eclectic, grounded in self-awareness, authenticity, and collaboration.

As a relationship therapist, I am sex positive, kink aware and knowledgeable. I work with couples of all sexual orientations and relationship dynamics. Whether Monogamy, Relationship Anarchy or somewhere in between and beyond. Trained in Gottman and Developmental approaches to relationship therapy and guided by an attachment based perspective, I help couples to address issues that may be holding them back from having their desired relationship.

We may cover communication, attachment wounds, trauma, ruptures, unmet needs, relationship agreements, sex, and more. Your relationship(s) are as unique as the individuals involved in them, and as your therapist I am a guide in your exploration of self and connection.

I am also trained in a number of modalities for individual therapy including DBT, Parts Work, Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Ecotherapy.
