Our Story
True Self Counselling was born out of a deep commitment to helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and find lasting healing. Founded by Jaclyn Spinelli, a registered psychotherapist and trauma specialist, True Self Counselling began as a safe, inclusive space for those navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
From the start, our mission has been clear: to support individuals in uncovering their authentic selves through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. Rooted in neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices, our team provides a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients of all ages can feel truly seen and heard.
As our practice has grown, so has our vision. Today, we are a collaborative team of dedicated clinicians who bring diverse backgrounds and specializations—but share one unifying goal: to walk alongside each client on their journey toward clarity, confidence, and self-discovery.
At True Self Counselling, you’re not just receiving therapy—you’re gaining a trusted partner in your personal growth. Let’s uncover the real you, together.

WHAT WE DO FOR OUR CLIENTS
Therapy for Teens & Young Adults
Adolescence and early adulthood can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s anxiety, self-esteem, or big life transitions, our therapists provide a safe, supportive space for teens and young adults to explore their emotions, build resilience, and gain tools to navigate life’s challenges. We help clients reconnect with their inner strengths and develop a greater sense of self.
Counselling for Adults
Life doesn’t come with a roadmap. Whether you're facing stress, burnout, trauma, or relationship struggles, we help adults move through life with greater clarity and compassion. Together, we explore what’s holding you back and guide you toward healing, growth, and a more grounded sense of who you are.

Parenting is tough—and you don’t have to figure it out alone. We support parents in understanding their children, navigating stress, and building stronger family dynamics. With practical tools and a nonjudgmental space, we help you feel more confident, supported, and connected to your family.

Truly being heard for the first time...
"Chris is an amazing counselor and human being. Our son began working with him after his friend passed away in high school and Chris was there to help him through the grieving process. They forged a strong friendship and worked together through high school and still connect today. Our family has learned and grown exponentially from working with Chris as a whole, and I would say without a doubt, his guidance and support far surpasses 5 stars."
