Jessica Eve Ferro, MC:AT, CCC

Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm an Art Therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in Whitehorse, Yukon. I work with individuals experiencing a range of concerns including grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, self-esteem, work/life balance, 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 and simultaneously completed an Advanced Diploma 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 grew up mostly in Whitehorse, but I've also lived in Ontario, BC, the USA, and the Middle East. I love to travel and experience new cultures!
In addition to art therapy, I use an eclectic and flexible approach, drawing from various modalities. I believe that we each have our own unique story to share. Through supportive dialogue, creative expression, and open reflection we can create opportunities to reshape our stories and discover new meaning in unexpected and profound ways. I eagerly welcome stick figures, shapes, scribbles, splatters, and more in clients’ artwork!
