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
