Jason Bains
Jason Bains is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who approaches therapy through an attachment-focused and trauma-informed lens. He believes growth is a lifelong journey and helps clients explore how early experiences shape their current relationships and emotional worlds. Drawing from parts work and dialectical behaviour therapy, Jason supports clients in developing self-awareness and emotional regulation. His own recovery journey allows him to bring authenticity, empathy, and a touch of humor into sessions, creating a safe and balanced space for healing. Jason has a special interest in working with trauma, addiction, and life transitions. He invites clients to see therapy as a place to build coping skills and move toward lasting growth.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
