Jessica Loutfi (she/her) - Registered Social Worker

Supporting children as young 2 and their caregivers, Family Therapy, Individual therapy for children, teens and adults, and Parent Consultation. 

Greetings everyone! 

I am a Registered Social Worker with a passion for helping children, youth and families for almost 20 years.  I have extensive experience working with children and adults whom have experience trauma, as well as those struggling with addictions and mental health.  I have been fortunate to dedicate the past several years creating a safe and affirming environment for individuals, especially those from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and other equity seeking groups.  I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that values inclusivity, diversity and honouring everyone’s journey. 

I have a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Social Work from McMaster University, as well as a Master of Social Work from University of Windsor.  

What do I bring to my work as a Registered Social Worker? I have my unique lived experience and identity characteristics that have help me shape my understanding of the human experience.  I am part of equity seeking groups which helps fuel the work I am passionate about doing, while having an understanding of these unique challenges and struggles.

In my clinical work I draw on therapeutic modalities that best fit the client(s) needs.  

These include: 

- Cognitive Behavioural therapy

- Dialectical Behavioural therapy

- Solution Focused 

- Motivational Interviewing

- Appreciative Inquiry

- Talk Therapy

- Stages of Change 

When I am not in the office, I can be found spending time with my two young children, volunteering and advocating for systemic change in childhood early learning or training for distance running half marathons.
