Spaces to Heal. Places to Belong.
Through psychotherapy, breathwork, embodiment, and education, we bring together evidence-based therapeutic approaches with curiosity, intuition, and a deep reverence for the human experience.
Explore the support, practices and connections that meet you where you are.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create grounded, compassionate, and trauma-informed spaces where humans can explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives, reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom, and cultivate more authentic relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.
Solstice exists at the intersection of psychotherapy, embodiment, and sacred practice. We honour the science of psychology while making room for the wisdom that cannot always be measured — the felt sense, intuition, ritual, creativity, connection, and meaning that are also part of being human.
A Whole-Human Approach
The body has a story to tell.
Our experiences live not only in our thoughts, but also in our bodies. We make room for the connections between mind, body and nervous system, supporting greater awareness, regulation and choice.
Your patterns make sense.
The ways we cope, protect ourselves and relate to others often develop for good reasons. Rather than judging these patterns, we approach them with curiosity and compassion, creating space for new possibilities.
Healing happens in relationship.
We are shaped by our connections, and we often heal through them, too. We honour the importance of feeling seen, building trust, cultivating belonging and discovering that we don't have to navigate everything alone.
There is room for both science and mystery.
Our work is grounded in evidence-informed practice, professional integrity and respect for your lived experience. We also remain curious about the wisdom of the body, the rhythms of nature, and the ways meaning, ritual and connection can enrich our lives.
hey, i'm janice!
JANICE GILL, MSW, RSW | FOUNDER, THERAPIST, REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER
I’m an integrative psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, college professor and lifelong learner. I’ve been working in the mental health field for over a decade, and my own understanding of healing has continued to expand and evolve along the way.
Solstice was born during the pandemic, at a time when I was receiving more referrals than I could possibly take on and constantly finding myself sending people elsewhere. It made me think deeply about the kind of space I wanted to create - and the kind of care I wanted people to have access to.
What began as a psychotherapy practice has grown into something that reflects both my professional experience and my personal values: that healing can be deep and practical, relational and embodied, grounded in therapy while also leaving room for curiosity, spirituality, community, and the many ways we make meaning of being human.
The name Solstice speaks to this. A solstice is a turning point - a reminder that life moves in cycles, that change is part of being human, and that even in our darkest seasons, something is always shifting beneath the surface.
I’ve tried to build Solstice as a space that feels much like that: grounded, human, relational, and expansive - a place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find your way toward what comes next.

Acknowledging the Land We Call Home
Solstice Psychotherapy is rooted in Halton Region, and we recognize that the land on which we live, work, gather, and build community carries a history that long predates us.
We acknowledge that we are living and working on the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, within the broader territories of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Métis peoples.
We offer our gratitude to the Mississaugas of the Credit for their enduring relationship with this land and for the generations of care, knowledge, culture, and stewardship that have shaped this place. We recognize that our ability to live and operate our practice here exists within a history of colonization, displacement, broken treaties, racism, and ongoing injustice toward Indigenous Peoples.
For us, acknowledging the land is not simply an act of words. It is an invitation into greater awareness — of whose land we are on, what has been lost, what continues to be carried, and what responsibilities come with being here.
As a practice grounded in healing, relationship, embodiment, and connection, we believe that meaningful healing also asks us to deepen our relationship with the land and with the histories and communities that have cared for it since time immemorial.
We honour the Indigenous Peoples who have been, and continue to be, caretakers, knowledge keepers, and stewards of these lands. We commit to continuing our own learning, to listening with humility, to examining the ways colonialism continues to shape our communities and our work, and to practicing allyship through action rather than words alone.
We are grateful to live, work, and gather here — and we hold that gratitude alongside the responsibility of knowing that this land is not ours to claim.
