"Families are the
compass that guides us.
They are the inspiration to
reach great heights,
and our comfort
when we occasionally falter."
— Brad Henry
Here’s What I Offer For
Families
In family therapy, I support families who feel overwhelmed by conflict, disconnection, or recurring struggles. Whether you're navigating challenges with parenting, co-parenting, sibling dynamics, school stress, or behavioral concerns, I provide a compassionate and structured space where every voice can be heard.
My approach is collaborative and solutions-focused, helping families uncover what’s beneath the surface of tension—often unmet needs, emotional wounds, or communication breakdowns—and guiding you toward healthier, more respectful ways of relating.
I offer regular parent coaching and family check-ins to ensure we’re aligned with your goals. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens, I help parents better understand their children’s behavior while also supporting caregivers in managing their own stress, boundaries, and emotional responses.
We work to create a home environment where emotional safety, accountability, and compassion can grow. Whether your family is adjusting to a major transition, coping with loss, dealing with school-related concerns, or struggling with connection, therapy can offer clarity, guidance, and healing.
Change doesn’t require perfection—just willingness. Together, we’ll work toward more honest communication, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of stability and trust within your family system.
You don’t have to navigate the hard seasons alone.
Let me be your guide.
Change is possible — and family therapy can help you reconnect with that truth.
FAQs
About Therapy
-
Psychotherapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps you build insight, develop coping strategies, and foster healthier relationships—with yourself and others.
-
Given my highly tailored approach to therapy, there is no “one size fits all” answer to that question. The answer may depend on how deep you want to go, as well as how many issues you’d like to work on.
It also depends on how much work you’re willing to put into making changes in your life. Also, a single session could be life-changing, and at the same time it might take time to feel completely comfortable with me. You don’t need to trust me in order for good therapy to happen. Most clients report noticing some level of improvement or benefit after around 3-10 sessions.
-
I identify as Christian and have training and experience helping clients within a Christian framework. Most importantly, however, is that I am trained and skilled to work with anyone of any faith background while offering understanding, compassion, and validation.
-
Most clients prefer weekly, though some clients may opt for bi-weekly, monthly, or even more than once a week. It all depends on a few factors, including time, the severity of the issue, the urgency of the issue, the recency of the issue, and of course your budget. Because many clients will start therapy when their concerns are quite severe, most clients will start with a higher frequency of sessions to work on the issues, and then reduce the frequency overtime to maintain the growth. Feel free to discuss this question with me during our consultation.
-
For sure! You can book a no-commitment free consultation here. During the 15-minute consultation, you can ask me as many questions as you’d like to ensure that this is the right fit for you.
-
My approach is integrative. I draw from attachment theory and trauma-informed care, specifically using:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness-Based Techniques
I will tailor my approach depending on your needs. If there’s a specific modality you’d like to try, feel free to let me know during the consultation.
-
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families navigating attachment wounds, trauma, anxiety, depression, communication struggles, and relationship challenges. I also work with clients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or those experiencing intense emotional dysregulation.
-
You lead busy lives - I get it. Even if we see each other for a one hour session every single week, that’s only one hour out of 168. That’s less than .6% of your week! The remaining 99.4% is spent outside of therapy. For change to happen through therapy, I believe that the work must continue outside of our sessions. This is why I will often encourage you to continue reflecting throughout the week, and practice some of the things we worked on.

Item descriptionYour first session is about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your goals, and how I can support you. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just come as you are.
It’s normal to feel nervous or overwhelmed. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. I aim to create a calm, welcoming space where we move at your pace.
-
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and sometimes families (depending on the case). My work is inclusive and trauma-informed. If you have any questions, feel free to book a commitment-free consultation here.

Fees & Policies
-
Individual sessions: $200 / 50 minutes
Couples & Family sessions: $300 / 50 minutes
It’s recommended to book 1.5 hour session to ensure that everyone gets support within the session.
Psychotherapy is tax exempt, so there is no HST added, and there are no additional fees.
If this rate makes therapy inaccessible for you, please let me know, and I may be able to offer a reduced rate. My goal is that money is never a barrier to accessing therapy.
-
The preferred method of payment is through e-transfer to admin@janettechu.ca. However, it is possible to use credit card if necessary.
-
I provide receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement if your provider covers psychotherapy with a registered psychotherapist. Please check with your insurer to confirm your coverage. You are covered for a certain amount as long as your insurance policy covers “Registered Psychotherapist” (RP). It may also fall under “Psychotherapy”, “Mental Health”, “Counselling”, or even “Marriage Counselling”.
-
Cancellations or reschedules require 48 hours' notice. This is so that the session slot can be freed up for another client. Late cancellations or missed appointments will be billed at half the session rate.
Confidentiality &
Safety
-
Absolutely not. My practice is grounded in compassion and nonjudgment. I work with many clients who carry deep wounds from early relationships or live with intense emotional experiences. You’re welcome here.
-
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share stays between us, with a few legal exceptions related to safety and mandatory reporting (e.g., harm to self or others, child abuse).
