Meet Your Therapist.

Jess Preston, MA, RCC

Hi, and welcome! I’m Jess Preston, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and the Clinical Director of Reverie Therapy. I live and work in Maple Ridge, BC and I’m a proud member of the community! Within my practice, I offer individual and relationship counselling, in-person and online. As an integrative therapist, I offer a thoughtful and intuitive approach to counselling that emphasizes holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centred care. I incorporate select counselling theories and interventions into my practice, which allows me to provide tailored and comprehensive support to clients. I draw from many theoretical orientations, including Client-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Intersectional Feminist Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and more. I welcome questions and conversations about these approaches during our sessions. Assisted by 8+ years of post-secondary education, I have a deep passion for supporting clients throughout life’s nuances.

I provide warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental support to my clients, emphasizing self-reflection and self-discovery.

Are We a Good Fit?

I work with adult clients dealing with life and relationship challenges including grief, stress, trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions. As a married parent to two young children, I have personal experience in many of these areas myself.

I invite you to join me in a safe and therapeutically guided space. Here, you will be empowered to share your experiences in your own words, discuss your goals, and feel cared for, validated, and gently encouraged to work toward life-affirming change. Societal expectations can weigh heavily on each of us, and we all need supportive resources.

I would be honoured to be a part of your self-care team.
