About Me

Vickie Roy

I am a Therapist dedicated to providing a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for my clients. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in client-centered therapy and somatic experiences, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of children, teenagers, and adults. I also offer parental guidance for caregivers who experience challenges in their role.

​

My Approach to Therapy 

​

I believe in the inherent wisdom of each individual to guide their own healing journey. My client-centered approach emphasizes:​

​

- Active listening and unconditional positive regard

- Empowering clients to discover their own solutions

- Integrating mind-body connections through somatic experiences

- Creating a supportive space for self-exploration and growth​

​

Somatic Experiences in Therapy

Somatic experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress disorders. I incorporate this technique to help clients tune into their body's sensations, promoting a deeper level of healing and self-awareness.

​

Adult Therapy

I help adults navigate life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I incorporate somatic techniques to help clients reconnect with their bodies and process emotions on a deeper level.

 

Adolescent Counseling

Understanding the unique challenges faced by teenagers, I provide a safe space for adolescents to explore their identities, manage stress, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

 

Child-Centered Play Therapy

I am passionate about helping children heal through the power of play. Using Child-Centered Play Therapy fundamentals, I believe that children best communicate and process their experiences during unstructured playtime. As a skilled therapist, I guide young clients towards healing from difficulties by:

​

- Creating a safe, accepting environment

- Allowing children to lead the play session

- Reflecting feelings and behaviors to promote self-understanding

- Encouraging problem-solving and emotional expression through play

 

Parental Guidance

I offer support and guidance to caregivers who face challenges in their parenting journey. This service helps parents and guardians develop effective strategies to support their children's emotional well-being and strengthen family relationships.

​

Languages

​I offer services in both French and English
