Jessica Eve Ferro, MC:AT
Registered Psychologist & Art Therapist |
Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a registered psychologist and art therapist 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, the USA, 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 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 supportive dialogue, teamwork, and open reflection we can create opportunities to reshape our stories and discover new meaning in unexpected and profound ways.
