Sessions will take place at our clinics and are $50 per session with no limit to how many sessions you have. Jenna is with us until December 2026; Brett and Steve are with us until April 2027. Free virtual services are an option with our Clinical Interns. Some may remain on as staff members and their rates will increase at that time.

Brett Nemeth - RP (Qualifying)
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) - He/Him
$50 Sessions - *In-Person - Children (7+), 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 am a Registered Psychotherapist with qualifying status with the CRPO. 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 - RP (Qualifying)
Registered Psychotherapist - He/Him
$50 Sessions - *In-Person - Children (10+) 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. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with qualifying status through the CRPO. Before moving into counselling, I spent time working in leadership, coaching, and consulting, supporting people as they navigated a variety of challenges and changes in their lives. I have worked with people dealing with uncertainty, difficult decisions, relationships, pressure, and questions about what comes next. These experiences shaped my belief that people often benefit from having someone who can listen without judgment, help them make sense of what they are experiencing, and support them in finding a way forward. That belief continues to guide my work as a therapist.
Who do I work with & what can I help with?
I work with youth ages 10+, teenagers, and adults of all genders. I aim to create a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing and work toward what matters to you. I can support clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, low confidence, difficult transitions, or uncertainty about what comes next. I have a particular interest in mindfulness and sport and performance psychology and enjoy working with athletes and others who are navigating performance-related pressure. I believe counselling can provide a space to feel heard, understood, and supported.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is integrative, drawing primarily from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe counselling works best when it is collaborative and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, develop a better understanding of the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be affecting you, and consider practical ways to move forward.
Training
I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Wilfrid Laurier University and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have completed additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) through the Beck Institute, Mindful Self-Compassion, and am a Certified Sport Psychology Coach.
What else should you know?
I am available for appointments on Saturdays and Wednesdays during the day, as well as virtually days or evenings. I receive regular clinical supervision from a Registered Psychotherapist as part of my practice. If you are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through what you are experiencing, I would be happy to work 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.
