Guiding You on a Personalized Path to Mental Wellness
Valeria is not just a therapist; she’s your partner on your journey toward improved mental well-being. Her holistic approach to therapy sets her apart, ensuring that your unique needs are met with compassion and understanding.
Valeria is more than just a professional; she is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), reflecting her commitment to the highest standards of ethics and care. Her educational background is equally impressive, with a Master’s Degree in counseling psychology from Yorkville University. Furthermore, Valeria holds a post-secondary diploma in The Total-Self Program from the Transformational Arts College, where she honed her skills in personal and spiritual development. This program uniquely blends contemporary psychology, emotional healing, and esoteric principles, offering a psychospiritual approach that adds depth to her therapeutic practice.
Valeria’s approach is rooted in the belief that mental health solutions are not one-size-fits-all. She takes a comprehensive approach, tailoring each treatment to your unique needs. She strives to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Valeria possesses a remarkable ability to understand your experiences from your own perspective and accepts you as a unique individual without judgment. This is the cornerstone of building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Valeria’s guiding philosophy is beautifully encapsulated by Maya Angelou’s quote: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” She understands that the essence of therapy lies in the emotional connection and support she provides.
To meet your needs, Valeria’s diverse skill set ensures she can adapt to your unique circumstances. She is now certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR is a holistic, evidence-based approach that helps the mind heal from overwhelming or painful experiences. It supports the brain in naturally processing memories that may feel “stuck,” easing symptoms like anxiety, self-doubt, or distress from past events. EMDR can help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself in the present.
In addition to EMDR, Valeria offers a wide range of other therapeutic interventions, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Adlerian, Gestalt, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Existential, Person-Centered, Narrative, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
