Meet Mrs. Jennifer Maleus
I work as a curious and soulful Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, my therapeutic style is grounded in presence, curiosity and attunement and I warmly open space for exploration of ourselves and all of our parts.
I have been called to live in a sacred cycle with nature and reside in a lush ecosystem with my loving husband, two beautiful daughters and our beloved Bengal cat, Indie.
Psychedelics & Plant Medicine
Jennifer was hand-selected for a coveted spot in a comprehensive experiential Psychedelics Assisted Psychotherapy & Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy training facilitated by Dr. Dick Shwartz (IFS Creator), Dr. Phil Wolfson (Founder, The Ketamine Training Centre), Dr. Gita Vaid, MD, and Sunny Strasburg (Author, The Theradelic Approach) amongst skilled others.
Jennifer was a clinician at the first psychedelic medicine health clinic in Canada, Field Trip Health, Toronto. Jennifer continues to supervise psychedelic programs designed for veterans.
Jennifer has since been oriented towards working with psychedelic cannabis with private practice clientele. This specific plant medicine impacts the central nervous system directly, highly supports somatic release and healing of truncated trauma and supports post-traumatic growth with a focus on robust preparation and integration support.

Clinical Supervision & Consultation
Are you a psychotherapist looking for high-quality clinical supervision? Are you new to practice and seeking guidance, support, and mentorship? Psychotherapists are now entering the field in increased numbers; each one learning how to support clients suffering from mental health issues, emotional conflicts, stress, fear, worry and tension. But how do therapists keep going themselves? Keep holding? Keep providing compassion, empathy, support and the best mental health care for their clients. In other words, how do you become a sustainable psychotherapist? A sustainable psychotherapist can learn, grow and meet the challenges of this profession with grace and ease, year after year.
These are the therapists who will endure.
These are the therapists who build a psychotherapy practice legacy.
Not addressing these important foundations of working as a psychotherapist may lead to burnout, emotional stress, irritability, lack of sleep, compassion fatigue and, most unfortunately, an early end to a career we all have worked so hard to achieve.
I offer signature clinical supervision services that promote authentic professional growth and development. I’m a registered psychotherapist with the CRPO and hold close to two decades of clinical experience with specialties in complex trauma counselling, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, somatic therapies and IFS parts work.
I begin with establishing the fundamentals of practitioner health with supervisees. Then, I teach and continually reinforce techniques and strategies for nervous system regulation to aid with safe and effective use of self. During both individual and group clinical supervision sessions, I employ IFS parts work as a reflective practice tool so therapists may learn to lead their psychotherapy practice from Self-energy. As a clinical supervisor, I guide you through the tapestry of co-creating an effervescent therapeutic relationship as the ultimate change agent, how to ground and assess clients safely, perform cross-modality psychotherapeutic techniques with confidence, and most importantly, increase introspection and inward discovery to learn where your feelings end and your clients begin.
If you want to stand out, begin by cultivating a psychotherapy practice legacy. Take the first step and join me in clinical supervision, I’m honoured to be your guide.
This is your story to write,
Jennifer
