Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Victoria, BC

No matter what you are struggling with, remember that on the other side of this difficult time will be increased wisdom, the exciting potential of a better you and more of what you want. We all have a survivor inside of us, an innate ability to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Talking to someone can help you harness the strength that lives inside you. That is the essence of counselling.

Do you wake up in the morning and your anxiety starts to creep in? Do you feel like you have tried everything and you’re losing hope? Are you often triggered emotionally and feel as though you lose control? Do you struggle within your close relationships and wonder “how did I get here?” My approach to therapy is always rooted in compassion and genuine curiosity. I have a mindful and gentle presence, which guides my considerate sensitivity and attunement to each of my clients. Together we can cultivate unique goals and illuminate your wellness path through exploring, connecting, healing, and harnessing strengths.

Your current circumstances don't dictate where you'll end up. They serve as a starting point for change. We all have the potential to move forward, sometimes having support is the key to getting there. My counselling approach is collaborative and straightforward with a touch of humour. Using a blend of your personal experiences and life context with evidence-based practices such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and family systems we pinpoint your strengths and build positive coping skills to help you reach your goals.

I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who have experienced Trauma, PTSD, and acquired brain injury. These experiences often manifest in challenges related to self-esteem, identity, feelings of isolation, and loss of hope. I am dedicated to helping individuals focus on emotional regulation, brain health, and overall well being. I aim to guide my clients towards a path of empowerment, and emotional regulation and resilience. By integrating neuroplasticity concepts with art therapy techniques, I help individuals explore their inner landscapes, gain insight, and transform their challenges into opportunities for growth.

Hello! I am so glad you found my profile, thank you for seeking help and for being here. If you are having difficulty with chronic pain, a long-standing illness, post-concussion syndrome or mental health then you have come to the right place. I would be very honoured to assist you on your healing journey with practical tools and strategies to help you recover and manage your symptoms. We can use the tools of neurofeedback, cognitive rehabilitation or traditional therapies (CBT/DBT/ACT/Polyvagal Theory/Somatics) to help you feel like your best self again. We can rewire our brains and I want to support you in this!

Are you seeking relief from pain? Past and current issues like abandonment, trauma, and stress wreak havoc on our body’s equilibrium - our nervous system state. This can lead to issues like depression, self loathing, anger, anxiety, and chronic health issues. These painful issues can cause disruptions in our relationships, leading to even more pain and disconnect. Using proven, effective approaches to regulate our nervous system, we can regain our balance, have greater capacity to create new ways of being in relationship - both with self, and other - so that we can make positive, meaningful, and lasting changes in our lives.

Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.

Life can feel overwhelming and complicated when shifting into a non-monogamous way of being. It often brings up deep feelings of fear, abandonment, and jealousy both for those who are starting out and also for those who have been in an Ethically Non-Monogamous paradigm for a long time. It can feel isolating to come out as gender diverse. I’ve been supporting folks as they access gender affirming care, challenge people's expectations, find acceptance, set boundaries, and grow more comfortable in themselves and their own identities. I support folks who want to access a Queer, Trans, and Non-binary welcoming space.

In our session, your comfort, validation, and acceptance are prioritized. I embrace every aspect of who you are and recognize your resilience. Our collaboration is inclusive and respectful of your diversity. Together, we create a safe space for exploring your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Using various therapeutic approaches like Narrative Therapy, DBT, Solution-Focused, and EMDR, we work together to uncover insights, develop strategies, and set achievable goals. As you leave, you'll feel validated and hopeful, armed with practical tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience, knowing you have support

I would be honoured to help you access your natural capacity to heal from the root of your symptoms and reconnect with who you truly are. I hope to create a safe container for your inner work with my grounding, compassionate and intuitive presence. I practice powerful and efficient healing modalities that enable deep and lasting transformation to occur. We go beyond the level of talking to studying your direct experience in the moment with curiosity and compassion. I will help you feel what you could not fully be with before and guide you in healing past wounds so you can be free to live the life you dream of.

I value holding a non-judgmental, safe space to find healthy perceptions of yourself while navigating life transitions. I believe that we all have times when we need a little more or a little different support when our support systems and usual ways of coping are not enough. My approach is not just about understanding; it's about action. Picture a session where you not only explore the roots of your challenges but also actively build a toolkit to overcome them.

I offer psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments primarily for children to young adults. I specialize in learning disorders, ADHD, executive function challenges, as well as the impact of complex developmental and neurological issues on learning and behavior. I do not provide diagnostic assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorders, however I believe that a comprehensive assessment to outline how an individual on the spectrum learns best can be extremely helpful.

My areas of passion are working with 2SLGBTQIA clients, alternative sexual/romantic relationship identities & dynamics (ex. ethically non-monogamy, polyamory, kink, swinging, BDSM, open relationships, sex work, etc.), sex & intimacy, consent & boundaries, religious trauma, chronic pain/illness, neurodiversity, and life transitions. I draw from both education and lived experience to provide deeper insight into supporting you from an open-minded, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and affirming framework. The journey of healing and growth can be messy, challenging, and heart-breaking while also beautifully majestic and worth every effort.

Hi! I’m Sydney, and I offer somatic therapy for young adults aged 18-30. As a young adult myself, I understand the challenges being navigated by this age group. With the cost of living rising, the climate changing, the impact of social media on our view of ourselves, all the while navigating this new independent stage of life. Juggling all these aspects of life can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to know what to think, what to feel, and how to feel it. I’m here to support you explore your emotional landscape, release stress and overwhelm, and cultivate a supportive mind-body connection.

Are you suffering with depression, anxiety or trauma? Or do you struggle with unrealistic fears, or worry? Maybe you suffered childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or other more recent trauma. If you feel stuck in a rut, and find yourself repeating the same old unhealthy patterns, I can help you to make positive change, transform and heal negative, limiting core beliefs, and move forward into a more fulfilling and satisfying experience of life. If you'd like more peace and contentment in your life, please feel free to give me a call. I offer a free phone consult of up to 15 mins.
