Family Therapy in North Vancouver, BC

I specialize in relationship counselling for individuals and couples. Clients often come to me for support with building trust, navigating the transition to parenthood, dealing with relationship anxiety, coping with low intimacy or desire, healing from a relationship ending, and building healthy communication. Our relationships are important to us, and it can be distressing when we feel disconnected from our partner or anxious about maintaining a healthy relationship. My passion is helping clients understand how they show up in relationships and feel capable of making real change.

I'm a Registered Professional Counsellor with a wealth of experience helping couples and individuals create happier lives. Couples stuck in escalating arguments can feel alone and panicky. No matter how hard you try to resolve your pain, hopelessness grows. I can help you clarify your most important issues and learn to communicate in ways that reassure. I have helped hundreds of couples strengthen their connection and experience renewed love and intimacy that lasts. I warmly support individuals caught in old limiting patterns and beliefs to explore and transform places of pain into a life of more possibility.

Hello My name is Victoria. My aim as a therapist is to create a safe and non-judgemental environment in which you feel comfortable talking about any thoughts, feelings, or experiences and be met with acceptance, warmth, and respect. I place utmost importance on building strong, authentic and trusting relationships with the people I work with.

I imagine my client with their therapist as pioneers in their journey. Whether it is grief, transition, relationships or trauma. As pioneers, we explore, travel, and come to discovery. This discovery may help an individual to work on goals, their growth, treatment and healing. This self discovery is simply facilitated by the therapist and lead by the client.

I have sixteen years of training and clinical experience working with individuals and couples. Clients come to me usually when they are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or at a crossroad.

I offer compassionate, skilled, and informed assistance to support my clients in exploring core emotional issues, relationship dynamics and behavioral patterns. My style is warm, attentive, & engaged. I am strongly committed to my clients and will accompany and support you as you find your way through what life has brought you.

Finding the right therapist for OCD and anxiety is crucial. At New Heights, we specialize in treating OCD with evidence-based therapy that reflects current research and best practices.

With over a decade of experience in mental health settings, I am a specialist in treating OCD and anxiety and also address perfectionism, chronic procrastination, and indecisiveness.

I am passionate about self-discovery and bringing balance in our lives to handle stressful situations. My goal is to support my clients on their journey back to their truest, most embodied selves. My approach to counselling integrates several methods depending on individual needs. I strongly believe that no one definition fits all; we are all unique individuals and heal differently. I stand by three strong proponents: non-judgmental attitude, congruence and unconditional positive regard.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in relationships, anxiety, and bi-cultural identities.

Within relationships I support my clients improve communication and listening skills, release resentment and bitterness, build a foundation of understanding, foster connection and reignite intimacy and embody a shift from individual to relational coping.

We are a team of clinicians that are trained to work with students, individuals, couples and families. That excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills. Too many of us suffer in silence with anxiety, low self-esteem, unprocessed trauma and anger. You are not alone and we are here to encourage you to let those experiences be felt in a safe & non-judgmental environment. We know how hard it can be for most people to do therapy & our goal is to make it engaging, insightful & rewarding. To be vulnerable means not having our deepest feelings and secrets shot down. We use an integrative approach.

I am deeply committed to supporting parents in the understanding of themselves and their children, and to guide them back to the inner knowing that they are their child’s best bet. My work with teens and young adults, as they move across that bridge between dependence and independence, has been some of the most rewarding. My holistic approach draws on my years of study in the works of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, James Hollis, Dr. Daniel Seigel, Dr. Gabor Mate and The Gottman Method. It is with these and other evidence based modalities that I endeavor to support my clients in living their true potential.

I take tremendous pride in bringing warmth, skill and humour to the counselling relationship. I am deeply passionate and privileged about walking alongside my clients in their journey to improving their overall well being.

Do you want to feel better about yourself and your life? Are your frustrated with how you show up in relationships, work, life balance? Have you tried other therapy before, and you are still here, looking for a life that you love? Knowing something will make little difference when our bodies are convinced otherwise. This is why I primarily work somatically. When you have a new experience of yourself, in your body, in a way you may not have known was possible before, this will lead to lasting impact on how you function in this world.

I'm a passionate and dedicated clinical counselor with a decade of experience in helping clients overcome life's challenges and find their path to personal growth and well-being.

Clients often come to me when they decide that survival is no longer enough. Whether it's past trauma, depression, anxiety, disconnection from self, lack of purpose, or lack of hope (etc). As humans, we all carry rocks in our proverbial backpacks. I am awestruck by the human capacity to survive and endure. But sometimes the weight that holds us down becomes so familiar that it is almost comforting. If you are reading this, you have found the courage to ask the question, "What if I allow myself to believe that I deserve better?" I love nothing more than helping clients explore what that might look like, and how to get there.

LIfe can be so hard. But it truly doesn't have to be as hard as we often make it on ourselves. Bad things happen to good people all the time. It hurts. It stings. It changes us and how we see ourselves and the people and the world around us. It is possible to heal and to grow and to integrate these experiences into our new Self and to move forward, creating a life and relationships that are full, vibrant and fulfilling. You have the capacity to heal. Good therapy with a qualified therapist will help you unlock what is already there, to build new skills, and to free yourself to live the life you dream of living.

As a registered clinical counselor in Vancouver, I bring over 20 years of experience in addressing stress-related and functional disorders within the fields of medical psychology and consultation.

It's normal to feel sad or scared at times, and it's natural to experience occasional conflicts in relationships. However, when these feelings become overwhelming or persistent, they may signal deeper issues. Depression, constant avoidance, PTSD, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate something more serious. Understanding the thin line between normal reactions and deeper problems is crucial. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of these problems, offering insights into why we experience these difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively

For the past 25 years as a therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor, my work with individuals and groups has been focused predominantly on grief and loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and trauma.

I have a passion for helping individuals heal difficult emotions and find a way to create a life they love and be the person they admire.

I work primarily with children (ages 5 +), youth, and their families. A strong focus of mine is working with trauma, abuse, issues surrounding belonging, abandonment, divorce/separation, addiction, eating disorders, impacts of cultural genocide/colonization, anxiety, gender transitioning/identity, and depression. I strive to walk with clients to further support them in building the necessary tools to navigate challenging life events, and to experience more beauty and growth. I understand that reaching out is never easy and I aim to provide a safe, trusting, compassionate space to explore or process issues. Please Inquire for fees.
