Jonathan Hers

Most people contact Jonathan Hers when they have tried to push through on their own for too long — when anxiety has started affecting sleep, when the same argument keeps happening, when something from the past refuses to stay there. Jonathan is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Delta, British Columbia, working with individuals, couples, and families around trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship patterns, addiction, abuse, career stress, and the quiet erosion of confidence that builds when life goes unexamined.

His practice is built on a direct premise: lasting change requires getting to the root of what drives behaviour, not just managing its surface. Jonathan draws on EMDR — widely regarded as a gold standard in trauma therapy — alongside Internal Family Systems and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, approaches that help people understand why reactions feel so automatic and how the past continues to shape present choices. That work also shows up in something as ordinary as the inability to stay with a single task without the pull toward a screen — patterns of avoidance that often carry deeper emotional logic worth exploring.

Jonathan describes therapy as a relationship, not a formula. He is in good standing with the BCACC and offers online sessions in addition to in-person work. What he is looking for in a client is simple: not a polished version of themselves — just an honest one.
