Dr Jerome Reil (he/him)

I’m a registered clinical psychologist with 3 years experience working with adults experiencing a wide range of mild to complex mental health difficulties.

I am passionate about supporting adults make sense of their difficulties and live lives they experience as fulfilling and meaningful. I am particularly passionate about working with adults with longstanding emotional and relational difficulties, which can often be traced back to challenging childhood experiences and trauma.

While striving to be responsive to each person’s specific challenges and goals, our work will typically involve developing a shared understanding of your difficulties, clarifying what is important to you, and drawing on evidence-based interventions to achieve your goals.

THERAPY - Caring for you

With a strong commitment to evidence-based practices, I provide assessment and treatment of a wide range of psychological difficulties, including:

  • Low/depressed mood
  • Anxiety
  • OCD
  • Trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD
  • Emotion regulation difficulties, self-harm, and suicidality
  • Interpersonal difficulties
  • Perceptual disturbances (e.g., voice-hearing)

My treatment approach is informed by a blend of evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and schema therapy. I also offer EMDR or Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.

I hope that my warm and genuine style helps create a safe, welcoming, and collaborative space where clients feel comfortable exploring and making sense of their concerns and feel empowered to work toward desired change.

I am passionate about social justice and diversity and strive to work in a manner that acknowledges and is responsive to people’s unique identities.

One thing to be clear on when you’re choosing a psychologist, is that therapists are humans too. This means no one therapist will feel ‘right’ for everyone. I want you to know that that even if we aren’t a helpful match, there will be a therapist out there for you, so please hold hope that you can be supported in the way you need.
