About Bold Counselling

At Bold Counselling, I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, supported, and understood. Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You don’t have to go through it alone.

I support adults, teens, and families in moving through difficult experiences toward greater clarity, connection, and wellbeing. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a down-to-earth, human approach to therapy.

About me

My name is Jennifer Hrstic, and I am a Canadian Counsellor and Family Therapist, born and raised in Calgary on Treaty 7 territory.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (M.A.CP.) from Yorkville University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Child & Youth Care from Vancouver Island University.

I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Working with couples & families

I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults, supporting concerns such as anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem. I often integrate art-based and creative techniques into sessions, offering an alternative to traditional talk therapy that helps clients express and process emotions in different ways.

This approach is effective for youth, but also supportive for adults who benefit from more experiential work.

I also support families impacted by child welfare systems, including biological families, kinship care, adoption, and foster care.

My therapeutic approach

I work from a strength-based, trauma-informed, relational approach. Therapy with me is collaborative and supportive, and I encourage clients to safely explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a way that feels grounded and manageable.

Together, we can work toward:

Reconnecting with yourself and your relationships
Building practical coping tools for stress and overwhelm
Strengthening self-trust and emotional awareness
Moving toward healing, stability, and confidence

My goal is to help you feel more equipped to navigate life, knowing you can trust your instincts, regulate your emotions, and handle challenges as they arise.
