About Jessica:

Jessica Nickason is a Registered Psychotherapist based in Kingston, Ontario, dedicated to helping clients build emotional resilience through the transformative power of actually feeling and processing their emotions. With extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she integrates experiential, evidence‑based interventions that support meaningful, embodied change.

Jessica has specialized expertise in suicide risk assessment, suicide prevention, and trauma‑informed care, particularly in her work with first responders, military personnel, and frontline professionals navigating high‑stress, high‑stakes environments. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and attuned to the unique demands placed on those who serve their communities.

In Kingston’s vibrant post‑secondary landscape, Jessica is passionate about supporting university and college students as they navigate identity development, academic pressures, emerging adulthood, and relationship challenges. She offers a supportive space for students to explore emotional regulation, stress management, and the complexities of transitioning into independence.

Jessica also works extensively with individuals and couples, focusing on strengthening intimacy, desire, communication, and emotional connection. She brings a strong commitment to men’s mental health, exploring how societal expectations, gender norms, and emotional socialization shape men’s well‑being and relationships.

Beyond her clinical practice, Jessica is deeply committed to education and the training of future therapists. Through reflective, guided supervision and mentorship, she aims to contribute meaningfully to the next generation of clinicians—cultivating practitioners who are grounded, self‑aware, and skilled in experiential therapeutic work.

Outside the therapy room, Jessica is a mother of three boys who finds balance in the outdoors. She enjoys camping, exploring Kingston’s natural spaces, and is an accomplished marathon runner—experiences that fuel her appreciation for endurance, resilience, and the importance of reconnecting with oneself.
