Hello, I'm Viktoria!
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and I provide therapy and neurodiversity coaching specializing in autism (formerly Asperger's), ADHD, learning disabilities, and giftedness. I am a certified ADHD Coach and I completed a Bachelor’s Degree with a double major in Psychology and Women’s Studies and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I have 21 years of professional experience as well as lived experience and understand the complexities and stress that my clients encounter.
I believe in an approach that is empathic, collaborative, strength based, accepting, client centred, and non-judgmental. Whether it's therapy or coaching, I will work with you to help you let go of the things that no longer serve you. I believe in the importance of a collaborative relationship in order to help you achieve your outcome.
Methods Used:
My approach is individualized and I use an integrative approach. I use a primary method as the foundation, in order to provide consistency in my work. The foundation of my work is Person-Centred Therapy. I am also trained in various other evidence-based modalities, which I use as appropriate based on my client’s unique needs. Learn more about my thoughts on therapy and my approaches by watching this short video where I provide more details about my therpeautic style.
