Jess Cumming, CCC, MA
Licensed Clinical Counsellor
Vancouver BC
My practice is founded on the belief that every human possesses the innate intuitive capacity for healing. My role is to help you regain access to the part of you that already knows the answers you need to take the next step forward. In my therapeutic work, I draw from a range of approaches, blending my favourite aspects of emotion-focused, motivational and person-centred therapeutic modalities. If you are ready to start untangling your own personal web but aren’t sure where to start, I can help you explore your next steps.
Born and raised on the beautiful North Shore of Vancouver, I was drawn to become a helper from an early age. This led me to pursue degrees in psychology and counselling at the University of Victoria. I lived and worked in Australia for two years after graduation, followed by two years in the public mental health system in Vancouver. However, it always felt like something was missing.
After psychedelic therapy came up in conversations with my colleagues too many times for me to ignore, I decided it was time to explore and suddenly I had found it! The missing link. Through a combination of my own profound experiences and having the privilege to have a window into others' journeys, plant medicines have transformed who I am as a healer and as a human. I currently practice at Thrive Downtown counselling where I offer psychedelic integration services alongside traditional trauma-informed therapy.
