Therapy in Timmins
Offering online therapy in Timmins through phone and video appointments
Welcome to Life in Session!
Hi I'm Jessica Callegari and I'm a therapist in Timmins, Ontario.
Hi, I’m Jess, and I’m a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) in Timmins. I offer online therapy in Timmins and virtual counselling services across Ontario, providing a space where you can feel seen, safe, and understood.
I am passionate about providing a space where the people that choose to see me feel seen, safe, and understood while they embark on their journey of self-discovery and growth. The individuals that I walk alongside often express interest in taking back control of their lives and understanding what is at the root of the problems they are facing.
Areas Explored
Anger Therapy
If anger feels like it’s getting the better of you, know that it doesn’t have to define your relationships or life. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we’ll explore what’s fueling your anger, uncover deeper emotions, and develop tools for healthier ways to express yourself. Let’s work together to help you regain control and channel your emotions positively.

Together, we can help you feel more grounded and in control, one step at a time.
