About Veronika
I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I aim to provide a safe space for you to express yourself and feel empowered. Through a trauma-informed and culturally-competent lens, I provide counselling to clients who are experiencing anxiety and depression, suicidality and self-harm, stress and self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, relationship and communication challenges, addiction and substance use concerns, and 2SLGBTQ+ and ADHD/Autism identity exploration. I supper a diverse range of clients from the queer, trans, neurodiverse, kink, sex worker, and polyamorous and non-monogamous communities.
As a queer and non-binary therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals, relationships, and families in the field of mental health, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, including: CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, attachment theory, feminist and family systems theory, existential therapy, and narrative therapy.
I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation in order to assess your therapeutic needs and ensure we are the right fit to begin working together. All individuals located in British Columbia, Canada and above the age of 19 are welcome.
I hold an M.A in Counselling Psychology from McGill University, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors (#18518).
