Brett Nemeth
Clinical Intern - He/Him
$50 Sessions - *In-Person - Children, Teens & Parenting Support*
Hello! My name is Brett, and I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University by completing my clinical hours with Counselling Bruce County. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Autism and Behavioural Science. Having recently moved to Kincardine from Toronto, I am thrilled to join this wonderful community and give back through my passion for supporting children, youth, and families.
Who do I work with & what can I help with?
My background as a behaviour therapist working closely with neurodivergent children and youth with autism first sparked my deep commitment to supporting kids, teens, and young adults. Through roles in one-on-one therapy centers and in-school support, I’ve learned that real progress starts with feeling understood. I strive to offer a warm, safe, and judgment-free space where clients feel genuinely heard and accepted for who they are. Together, we build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows clients to explore challenges, set meaningful goals, and grow at their own pace. I frequently help clients navigate concerns around emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, behavioural challenges, emotional outbursts, family transitions, social skills, peer relationships, school related challenges, and academic pressure. I am also happy to support parents with these areas so that they can continue any treatment at home, or just for their own emotional support.
My Therapeutic Approach
My practice is grounded in the core principles of person-centered care: empathy, authenticity, and consistency. I believe these elements create the foundation for a truly collaborative environment. My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which allows me to tailor treatment to each person’s unique story and needs. I work alongside clients to help them identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, process difficult emotions, and build practical, long-term tools for well-being. My clinical focus includes functional communication, positive behaviour support, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles.
Training
Along with formal training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy through the Beck Institute, I bring over three years of direct clinical experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and clients with autism. As mentioned above, I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.
What else should you know?
As a lifelong musician, I hold a deep belief in the healing power of creative expression and music. Outside the clinic, my love for animals and the outdoors continuously reminds me to approach every person and every story with patience, gentleness, and respect. To ensure the highest standard of ethical, effective care, my practice is conducted under the regular clinical supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist. I look forward to connecting with you and guiding you on your path to wellness. I will be working Monday & Tuesday afternoon and evenings. I look forward to working with you or your children!

Steve Kenny
Clinical Intern - He/Him
$50 Sessions - *In-Person - Youth, Teens & Adults*
Hi, my name is Steve and I am a clinical intern at Counselling Bruce County while completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. My path to counselling has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity about what helps people grow, adapt, and thrive. Before pursuing my counselling career, I spent nearly two decades in leadership, coaching, and consulting roles, working with musicians, athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals, as they navigated challenges, pursued meaningful goals, and developed their strengths. These experiences taught me that meaningful growth begins with feeling understood, a lesson that continues to guide my work as a therapist.
Who do I work with & what can I help with?
I work with youth ages 12+, teenagers, and adults of all genders. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, challenges, and goals. I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, and challenges related to confidence, self-awareness, and personal growth. I have a particular interest in mindfulness and sport psychology, including supporting athletes and individuals in high-performance environments who are looking to develop resilience, focus, confidence, and a healthier relationship with achievement. Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life, looking to better understand yourself, or hoping to develop new skills and perspectives, I believe therapy can be a meaningful space for growth and change.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is informed by the belief that growth is an ongoing process. Similar to sport and creativity, meaningful change often comes through curiosity, practice, reflection, and compassion toward ourselves. I take an integrative approach to counselling, drawing primarily from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe each person has unique strengths, experiences, and values that shape their journey, and my role is to provide a collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
Training
I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Wilfrid Laurier University, where I explored questions of meaning, identity, and ethics. Philosophy taught me the value of curiosity, critical reflection, and looking beneath the surface to better understand human experiences and perspectives. In addition to my graduate studies, I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindful Self-Compassion, and am a Certified Sport Psychology Coach.
What else should you know?
Outside of counselling, I enjoy running, particularly trail and endurance running. Like an endurance run, personal growth is rarely a straight path. There are moments of progress, moments of challenge, and unexpected turns along the way. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand the path you are on. My goal is to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and support as you navigate your own journey. I will be working Saturdays, Wednesdays during the day and every other Monday during the day. I look forward to working with you!

Jenna Gade
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) - She/Her
$50 Sessions - *In-Person - Children (10+), Teens & Adults*
Hi, my name is Jenna and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing my clinical internship at Counselling Bruce County for my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and I’m thrilled to support our local community. Having grown up here, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of accessible mental health support. Over the past eight years, I’ve worked with organizations like the Women’s House of Grey-Bruce and Community Living, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and overcome barriers.
Who do I work with & what can I help with?
I work with children ages 10+, teens and adults of all genders. I also strive to create a welcoming space for 2S-LGBTQ+ individuals or anyone who feels a little different. If you’re experiencing stress, overwhelm, or frustration, you don’t have to face it alone. I support clients in exploring themes such as gender identity, sexuality, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, coping skills, and societal pressures. I am specifically trained in supporting pregnancy journey, including loss. I can also assist with depression, anxiety and other common mental health concerns.
My Therapeutic Approach
I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducation to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will reconnect with your sense of self, clarify your boundaries, and explore your personal desires. I bring a warm, curious, and grounded presence in our sessions, focusing on building a meaningful therapeutic relationship. I work from an anti-oppressive, culturally competent, and trauma-informed perspective.
Training
I hold a double major in Psychology and Sexuality Studies from Western University, which deepened my understanding of how psychology, sexuality, power, and culture intersect. I also received formal training at Fanshawe College to support pregnant individuals and their families through all stages of the reproductive journey, including pregnancy loss. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and working toward my Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) designation with the CRPO.
What else should you know?
I offer sessions on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenings. Please check to make sure your inurance covers my services as a student if you are not paying out of pocket! I am under the supervision of a registered psychotherapist whose name and number will be on your receipt! If you’re unsure about starting therapy, that’s completely okay—we can take it at your pace. I look forward to connecting with you.
