Jill Townsend
SaveJill Townsend is a Master of Counselling intern with a strong passion for supporting youth, adults, couples, parents, and families. Her clinical interests include acute stress and coping, communication and connection, conflict resolution, emotional expression, social justice, empowerment, meaning-making, and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and significant life transitions.
She brings over 1,500 hours of volunteer experience in mental health, including work on a crisis helpline and as a facilitator of DBT skills groups for families. With over two years of graduate-level education in counselling, she is especially drawn to supporting intergenerational and collective healing—working with individuals, couples, and families, particularly those impacted by significant mental health challenges. She recognizes that family members often serve as unofficial first responders and believes they deserve support, tools, and compassion in their roles.
