About Venita

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and trauma therapist in Toronto offering individual and couples psychotherapy to adults (18+).

I initially trained as a Psychologist (Doctor in Psychology) and have 10+ years of experience working in the mental health field. Through my advanced international training in France, the United Kingdom and Canada, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience working with clients from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds and also with individuals from diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

Trauma, Attachment and Relationships

The clients I work with seek support with attachment wounds, trauma, immigration or cultural identity, relationships, boundaries, navigating cancer, life transitions, anxiety, stress, as well as issues around self-esteem, gender or sexual identity. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming.

My Therapeutic Approach

In my work with clients, I adopt a humanistic, relational, person-centred approach and I work through a trauma-informed and a non-pathologizing lens. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I trained in the Gestalt modality. Hence, this is another modality I incorporate in my work with clients. In addition, my therapeutic approach also draws from a range of other modalities such as mindfulness, somatic, attachment, cognitive or behavioural perspectives.

Sessions are interactive and focused on deepening awareness of how you relate in the world. This awareness can help uncover patterns and / or beliefs that may create ‘stuckness’ or suffering in the present moment. I also use compassion, humour and offer a safe, non-judgmental space to my clients.

I adopt an integrative approach. This means that our work is tailored to your individual needs and our sessions are focused on your therapeutic goals. The aim of our sessions is to empower clients, with support, in finding your own voice, clarity and confidence in order to navigate life and its challenges. I believe that support and compassion can help foster change, personal growth and development.

Therapy in French and English

I am bilingual and can offer sessions in French or English.

Vladimir helps make first contact with the practice feel clear, welcoming, and easy to navigate.
