About
Jennifer Colpitts, MSW, RSW
I'm Jennifer Colpitts, the owner and clinical director of Evolution of Self Counselling Services, and a registered Social Worker providing virtual and in-person counselling in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The thought of opening up to someone new can be intimidating, so let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born and raised in New Brunswick, and always knew I wanted to work in a helping profession. Having struggled with my own mental health issues, I became passionate about the field and using my experience to help support others. I completed both my Bachelor of Arts and my Bachelor of Social Work at St. Thomas University before moving to Ottawa to complete my Masters of Social Work at Carleton University.
Through my education, practicum placements, and previous work experience, I have been fortunate to have worked with many individuals from various backgrounds and with a variety of presenting issues. While I believe diagnoses can be helpful, my work with you will focus on the symptoms you experience and how they impact your life.

Stephanie Shaw, MEd, LCT-C
Hi there, I’m Stephanie! I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate at Evolution of Self offering virtual sessions to clients age 18+. My path to becoming a counsellor started after experiencing significant physical and emotional burnout. This insight into how prolonged stress, unmet needs, and external demands can affect mental health and daily functioning ignited my drive to provide support in a society where slowing down isn't always possible.
I value collaborating with my clients to create a non-judgmental, genuine space where they can speak openly and honestly. We’ll explore patterns, build self-awareness, and help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.
Come as you are, there is no right or wrong way to do therapy. I take a person-centered approach focusing on you as the expert on your life. Together, I hope that we’ll create a supportive and authentic experience.
