Welcome to Momentum!
My name is Janet VanCaeseele, and I am a Mental Health Therapist and licensed Canadian Certified Counsellor.
I am honored and privileged to have this opportunity to walk alongside others as they work through the challenges they face within their lives. Regardless of everyone’s background and past, I strive to focus on the individual’s potential, strengths, and resilience
to improve their well-being.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe environment where the client feels valued and understood, that can instil hope. I am passionate in applying a trauma informed approach to empowering individuals to heal from their adversity.
I apply a variety of modalities within my practice including solution focused, somatic experiencing, client centred, attachment based, emotion focused, humanistic, CBT, DBT, ACT, MBCT, and I am certified in EMDR trauma treatment.
I look forward to this opportunity to assist others in seeing their potential and growing within their mental health journey.

Children Services). I completed my undergraduate degree in Child & Youth care at MacEwan University, followed by my master’s degree in counselling at City University of Seattle. In my fulltime work, I work with pregnant and parenting teens this includes individual therapy, therapy for co-parenting families, and couples therapy.

Gina has been working in the mental health field since 2012 and holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. As a Counselling Therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor, she brings a solid clinical foundation along with years of meaningful experience supporting people through life’s challenges and celebrating the wins, big or small.
Her approach is solution focused and client-centred, grounded in the belief that people are the experts in their own lives. Gina’s style is genuine, down-to-earth, and collaborative, creating a space where clients feel comfortable, supported, and free from judgment. She believes that sometimes a bit of humour and authenticity can make the hard stuff a little easier to tackle. Gina meets clients where they are, with understanding, support, and compassion. She has experience working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where people feel safe to show up exactly as they are. Outside of work, Gina enjoys spending time with animals, listening to music, and running (usually toward a coffee shop). She appreciates the simple comforts of good coffee, a good nap, and spending time in nature.
Gina is grateful to be a Team Lead at Momentum Counselling, supporting clients and students in Edmonton and surrounding areas to discover solutions together and feel seen, heard, and supported along the way.
