JAZMINE JUAREZ - BA, MSW, RYT
REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER & MIND-BODY COACH
A space to come home to yourself — in body, relationship, and purpose.
My name is Jazmine Juarez (she/her). I’m a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Mind-Body Coach, and Clinical Supervisor based in Ontario. I’ve been providing counselling and therapeutic support for over 18 years, and I work with individuals, couples, and fellow practitioners who are ready to reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and what matters most.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Guelph. I am a member in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
Whether you're here to process trauma, explore a stuck pattern in your relationship, grow into your next chapter, or receive reflective support as a therapist — my role is to walk beside you with care, clarity, and grounded presence.
I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy that draws from Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS); Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Polyvagal Theory for individuals and couples; as well as, Psychodynamic Therapy; Adler Coaching Model; Somatic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Yoga + Mindfulness practices.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and spacious. You don’t need to have the perfect words, or a tidy version of your story. I’ll meet you where you are — and we’ll work together from there.
How I Came to This Work
I’ve always been drawn to mind-body practices — curious about the connection between how we feel, how we move, and how we relate to ourselves and others. But the moment I realized this work wasn’t just interesting, but essential, came around 2013, during a particularly intense period working in a crisis-based setting.
I began noticing signs of burnout: emotional fatigue, physical depletion, and the growing realization that my own mental health was being affected by the systems I was working within. I knew something had to shift — and that I couldn’t just think my way out of it.
That’s when I enrolled in a Yoga Teacher Training, intentionally choosing one that was psychology-based — a training program that blended yoga with therapeutic principles. It felt like coming home. The combination of movement, breath, and emotional insight offered me something I hadn’t found in clinical work alone. It gave me a felt sense of grounding, presence, and possibility.
That experience sparked something I couldn’t ignore. Since then, I’ve continued to pursue yearly trainings in somatic and mind-body based approaches — not only to better support my clients, but to honour my own nervous system and humanity as a therapist. This integration of body, mind, and relationship is now at the heart of everything I do.
I’m a lifelong learner, deeply committed to continuing my own growth — not just professionally, but personally. Because I believe the more connected I am to myself, the more I can offer my clients.
