Jodi Gaiser

Jodi (she/her) holds a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. She is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges. Her practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and person-centered principles, ensuring each client feels valued and understood. She believes everyone has the capacity to learn and grow from their experiences and move forward in a more grounded way. Her role is to support you on this journey in a way that feels best for you.  

Jodi draws from various therapeutic modalities to provide a holistic approach to mental health and personal development. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including trauma-informed ACT, mindfulness techniques, somatic experiencing, self-compassion, attachment theory, relational frame theory, narrative therapy, compassionate inquiry, Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and language from Internal Family Systems (IFS). By integrating these diverse modalities she aims to tailor the therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, fostering a strong connection and comprehensive growth experience. 

Creating Safe Space 

Jodi strives to create a safe environment that is inclusive of all races, gender identities, religions, ages, or ethnicities, where everyone is welcome to express themselves openly. Whether dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or other life challenges, the goal is to empower individuals to explore their emotions without judgment. Together, we will work on building resilience and developing skills that promote emotional well-being. 

Outside of work, Jodi can be found exploring the outdoors with her dog Leroy. She is physically located in the Port Alberni area.
