Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
Tired of holding it all together on the outside, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck underneath? Virtual individual therapy in Ontario can help.
Always reliable? Keep showing up and taking care of others first? And yet, inside, it can feel very different from the outside.
You might notice patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries; and you know it's costing you mentally and physically.
Maybe there was a recent traumatic experience, or a childhood where you had to adapt quickly and take on too much. Your nervous system may still be carrying the weight of all of it.
You may have tried traditional talk therapy and gained some insight, but still feel stuck in the same emotional and physical responses. That's not a sign that therapy doesn't work for you. It's a sign that a different approach might.
My Approach to Individual Therapy
I'm Jenny Yuzon, a Registered Social Worker (MSW RSW) with 15+ years of clinical experience working in trauma and mental health services, post-secondary settings, and community services across Ontario. I'm also a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and Certified Self-Havening Techniques Practitioner and trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: three body-based approaches that work with the nervous system at a deeper level than talk therapy alone.
My approach is somatic, integrative, and trauma-informed, and genuinely Jenuine. That means we work with both your mind and your body, not just the story you can put into words.
For many people, especially those who are self-aware, insightful, and used to pushing through, change just doesn't happen cognitively. The patterns often live deeper in the nervous system. Our work focuses on helping your system feel safe enough to shift those patterns, rather than forcing change through willpower.
This Work Is Especially Supportive For
- People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Perfectionism and burnout, especially in helping professionals and caregivers
- Anxiety, overthinking, and chronic stress
- Trauma, whether a recent event or experiences from childhood
- Feeling stuck despite previous talk therapy
- Emotional and relational patterns that keep showing up no matter what you do
What Sessions Feel Like
Sessions are collaborative, attuned, and paced around your nervous system; not a checklist, not a clinical evaluation. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you walk in.
Depending on where you are and what feels most useful, we might:
- Explore what's coming up for you right now
- Notice and gently shift patterns in your movements, posture, sensations, emotions, and thoughts
- Use grounding and regulation tools tailored to your unique nervous system
- Attune to what your system wanted to do but couldn't at the time, and discharge that stored stress in a safe, paced way
- Engage Brainspotting to process experiences and the "stuckness" that talk therapy hasn't been able to reach
What to Expect Over Time
Healing isn't linear, and it looks different for everyone. That said, over time people often notice:
In your body and nervous system:
- Less physical tension and chronic stress held in the body
- A growing sense of ease, groundedness, and presence
In your patterns and relationships:
- Less urgency to please, overextend, or abandon your own needs
- Increased ability to set boundaries without the wave of guilt that usually follows
- Improved relationship with yourself; actually knowing what feels right for you
In your day-to-day life:
- Reduced anxiety and reactivity in moments that used to feel overwhelming
- A greater sense of calm, clarity, and internal steadiness
- More capacity to show up for the people you love without losing yourself in the process

Frequently Asked Questions
Talk therapy works primarily through understanding and language. Somatic therapy works with what your body is holding: sensations, posture, breath, movement, to release patterns that cognition can't always reach on its own. Jenny integrates both, guided by what's most useful for you in any given session.
No. Somatic and brain-body approaches like Brainspotting often work with where the activation lives in your body rather than the narrative details. You won't be pushed to talk through everything, and for many people, that's exactly why it works when other approaches haven't.
Absolutely. Tension, postural shifts, movements, and nervous system responses can all be explored through a screen. Clients are often in their own environment during virtual sessions, which can actually help the nervous system feel safer and more comfortable, and that sense of ease supports deeper processing.
Sessions are $170 / 50 minutes or $250 / 75 minutes. Many clients use Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) or extended health benefits that cover Registered Social Workers. See full fees and insurance details here.
