Jessica Eve Ferro, MC:AT
Art Therapist & Registered Psychologist |
Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm an art therapist and counselling psychologist in Whitehorse, Yukon. I work with individual adults experiencing a range of concerns including grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal challenges, trauma, self-esteem, work/life balance, personal growth, and general wellness. I approach each client and situation with genuine curiosity and compassion, within a non-judgmental space. I view my role as a guide walking alongside clients in their healing journeys.

I earned a Master of Counselling degree from Athabasca University, with a specialization in art therapy through the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in Psychology from Carleton University in Ottawa. I have spent most of my life in Whitehorse, but I've also lived in Ontario, BC, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the Middle East. I love to travel and experience new cultures! I'm also an animal lover and have two fantastic Yukon mutts, both adopted from our local Mae Bachur animal shelter.
I use an eclectic and flexible approach in my work with clients, drawing from various modalities. I believe that we each have our own unique story to share. Through non-verbal expression, supportive dialogue, collaboration, and open reflection we can create opportunities to reshape our stories and discover new meaning in unexpected and profound ways.
