About
Jennifer McDonnell
Registered Psychotherapist
I’m Jennifer McDonnell, a Registered Psychotherapist based in Toronto, offering in-person therapy sessions in the city’s West End and secure virtual counselling across Ontario.
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, I completed my bachelor's and master's split between Ireland and the US, and my master's program in Florida, USA. I have been practicing in Canada since July of 2021.
My career has taken me through a variety of clinical settings—including inpatient care, addiction rehab, community mental health, and private practice. I have a passion for supporting individuals with high-stress employment roles, immigrants to Canada, and those with mental health concerns related to a history of trauma.
​
I specialize in supporting high achievers, professionals, and newcomers who are navigating the pressures of demanding careers, cultural transitions, or lingering effects of past experiences. Together, we’ll explore what’s causing distress—whether it’s burnout, homesickness, internal pressures, lack of self-love or memories that won’t let go—and develop practical strategies for relief and long-term healing.
My approach is trauma-informed, client-centred, and evidence-based, offering a safe and collaborative space to process the create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
​
In-person therapy sessions are available at my West Toronto location off of Bloor Street, and I also provide virtual therapy for clients across Ontario. Together, we can work to reduce stress, heal emotional wounds, and create a future that reflects your goals and values.
It is my honour to work with you and I applaud your courage and devotion to your health and to your future in seeking out psychotherapy.
