“My hope is that I can start that back up again with you, as you were the most effective therapist I'd ever worked with. … I’ve genuinely missed our time together, and have used the techniques and CBT consistently."

“I've been seeing Jason off and on for many years and can't recommend him enough. He's helped me navigate life issues both as a single person and in a relationship. What stands out most for me is how well he understands and articulates my journey as a queer person and the complexities it brings in a heteronormative society. He dives deep into who I am, and why I act in certain ways, in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I am forever grateful for his compassion and clear guidance, along with his thoughtful and motivating insights."

I don't think I would have been as strong of a person or have the mindset and emotional intelligence/consideration I do today if it wasn't for your guidance over these years, and I really want to thank you for genuinely changing my life.”

“I’ve seen Jason for several years now and I find him to be an extremely helpful, effective therapist. I’ve gone for couple’s counselling with my partner as well as individually for one-on-one therapy. I’ve seen other therapists over the years (both counsellors and psychologists) but I’ve never seen anyone as good as Jason. He’s extremely knowledgeable and provides thoughtful direction. I feel like I leave each session with meaningful, practical solutions. I recognize not every problem can be solved in an hour, nor do I expect it. However, sometimes his insights are so good that an hour is all that’s needed. Thank you Jason!”

“Counselling with Jason has been an incredibly positive therapeutic experience. Jason has an engaging, dynamic, genuine personality that comes through in his counselling. He is candid, supportive and kind in his corrections, helping me work through tough concepts and guiding me towards a better understanding of my thought-patterns and emotions. I always feel like I am chatting with a friend, yet at the end of each session, I come away with effective strategies and practical tools that I can use in my day-to-day life and relationships. 10/10 would recommend”.

"In October 2018 at a major crossroads in my life, I began working with Jason, meeting for hourly sessions every two weeks. From our first session, Jason has approached our work together with discernment, compassion, empathy, much needed humour (something so important for me) and a fierce commitment to invest in my self-understanding. Our work together is a collaborative effort in which he provides the safe space for me to gently reflect on personal history, including family trauma surrounding sexual orientation, self generated narratives, and patterns of behaviour regarding attachment in relationships. Then, he provides language, and concrete methods to help me navigate current circumstances with the goal of nurturing greater awareness and self-advocacy. He conducts his practice with the highest professional standards. He does so with clear and prompt communication, easy payment protocol and scheduling as well as curating a beautifully appointed space. The work is hard, lasting and the most rewarding life changing investment I’ve made. I highly recommend him if you’re willing to invest in the heart-work of your own human flourishing. I go to my sessions eager to be inspired, provoked, and leave with new insight that moves me forward. I’m so very grateful for Jason’s gift as a therapist".

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Jason Lehmann over the last five and a half years on a range of issues like relationship problems, communication, anger, and unhelpful patterns. He has changed my life and totally changed the way I view therapy. Jason really listens to me and I know he has my best interests in mind. He is incredibly kind, non-judgemental and easy for me to open up to. He has the ability to reframe any problem I have in a way that I wasn’t able to see myself. I really look forward to our sessions because I know that each time I walk out of Jason’s office, I'm leaving with more confidence and strength than when I went in. I feel extremely grateful to have found such a competent therapist.”

“I’ve been seeing Jason for over two years now, since July 2016. I can’t express how much my life has improved since beginning our sessions. I was in such a bad place, and it felt like nothing I did could ever get me out. Jason gave me the tools I needed to lift myself out of that hole, and to keep picking myself up whenever I stumbled. He’s always focused on teaching me to help myself. His mindfulness/CBT approach has taught me so much about my own thoughts, things I didn’t even realize I had been doing that were hurting me or stopping my progress. I feel so much better prepared to tackle what the world throws at me. I feel like most people can benefit from therapy, and Jason provides such an open, accepting space, free of judgement. He genuinely cares about me and wants me to improve, celebrating every victory. I’m so glad I was referred to him. I’ve had such an ambivalent experience with counsellors before, so it was a relief to meet someone I really connected with. Jason is easy to trust and get along with, and has made my journey to positive mental health so much easier.”
