Jonathan Thiessen
Clinical Intern, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Anxiety , Depression, Identity, Spiritual/Faith-Based

Work Experience and Education

Jonathan holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University, where his research focused on personality development and maintenance across the lifespan. Before entering the field of psychotherapy, he gained extensive experience in a variety of client-centered roles—including supervising a youth custody facility, working as an independent insurance and investment advisor, and supporting medically fragile students in the secondary education system.

Jonathan works with clients ranging from late adolescence (18+) through to older adulthood (65+). His clinical interests include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and identity-related concerns. 

His therapeutic approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, offering each client unconditional positive regard within a safe and empathetic space. Building on this foundation, he draws from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy (NT), and existential therapy (ET), adapting his methods to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. His aim is to help clients experience greater eudaemonic wellbeing—the state of living in alignment with one’s true self, values, and purpose.

Outside the therapy room, Jonathan is blessed to be married to his childhood sweetheart and best friend, and to be “Dad” to two exceptional daughters. He enjoys reading, researching meaningful topics, and making music—especially singing and playing guitar. He’s also known for his ever-growing collection of dad jokes, which, while groan-worthy, are definitely punny.
