Hello, I’m Jessica (Jessiquita) Madrid. I’m a practicum student completing my Master of Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University.

A little about me

I am a long-time Registered Nurse-turned-counsellor. I take a whole-person approach and believe everyone deserves to feel heard and understood.

I’m of Peruvian and Eastern European heritage, a mother, an artist, and an active community member. I’ve been grateful to call Haida Gwaii, BC, home since 2012.

My approach

• Warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental

• Trauma-informed

• Curious and collaborative

• Focused on your goals and your story

I can support you with

• Life changes and transitions

• Grief and loss

• Career questions

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Relationships, intimacy, and connection

• Identity and belonging

• Meaning and purpose

• Feeling different or outside the mainstream

Given my 20+ years as a nurse I am particularly interested in supporting clients with experiences such as the challenges that can come with motherhood, perimenopause, men’s emotional wellness, illness, injury, end-of-life, and caregiving.
