Jackie Ponomariov, MSW, RSW - Psychotherapist, founder and clinical director of Me Again Collective.

I completed my Honours Bachelor of Psychology degree from the University of Waterloo and Master of Social Work with a specialization in health and mental health from the University of Toronto.

Before venturing into psychology, my first love was medicine. As a result, I have 6 years of advanced research experience in neurology, cellular biology, cardiology, and clinical psychology - working with the nations leading doctors and research hospitals in Vancouver, BC and Toronto, ON. I know first hand that therapy is a powerful way to change our brain for the better and my research background empowers my current psychotherapy practice.

I have a deep and nuanced understanding of the corporate world and entrepreneurship (especially as a woman in male-dominated industries) - and the highs and lows that come with it. For 2 years, I worked as a Clinical Program Developer for one of the biggest, world-leading tech companies in the health space, researching and creating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based digital mental health programs such as burnout, adjustment disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

I have successfully worked with countless high-functioning and ambitious individuals including entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, lawyers, c-suite professionals, team leaders, and more! I also have experience working with the Canadian Olympic Team providing burnout education for athletes and coaches.

As someone who’s overcome burnout and describe myself as a “recovering perfectionist”, I’ve been in your shoes before.

You deserve to feel good and take that leap of faith towards building the life you envision for yourself - I’ll support you every step of the way!
