Beyond the Therapy Room

Our work doesn't stop at the counselling room.

At Dragonfly Counselling & Wellness, we believe creating meaningful change means supporting not only individuals, but also the professionals, organizations, and communities that care for them.

Our team brings years of clinical and community experience into professional education, training, consultation, supervision, and conversations that help strengthen mental health care beyond our walls.

Clinical Supervision & Consultation

Clinical Supervision & Consultation

We provide individual and group clinical supervision, complex case consultation, and professional support for clinicians, recent graduates, and community organizations.

Our team also provides ongoing supervision and consultation to community agencies within Six Nations of the Grand River, bringing extensive experience in trauma, Indigenous mental health, grief, culturally responsive practice, and complex clinical care.

Our approach is collaborative and reflective, creating space for clinicians to strengthen their skills, work through challenging cases, and grow in their practice.

Our Voice in the Community

Conversations That Matter

At Dragonfly, our work doesn't stop at the therapy room door. We take mental health conversations into the community through podcasts, presentations, teaching, and public conversations, sharing what we've learned about trauma, grief, culture, healing, and building systems of care that truly respond to people.

Podcast hosts have invited our Clinical Director, Jenny Jonker, MSW, RSW, to talk about lived experience, money mindset, and building a practice with purpose. These conversations grow out of the same work our whole team does every day: showing up for people with honesty, care, and respect.
