Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I am a trauma-informed, somatic, intuitive therapist supporting women, individuals, and couples - who are seeking deeper, root-cause healing for emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns. I often work with highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or neurodivergent clients, including mothers, caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in helping roles, demanding careers, or leadership positions. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, spiritual exploration, or periods of personal transformation. My approach integrates somatic work, compassionate and empowering talk therapy, nervous system healing, inner child work, energy healing, and more, to help you move beyond symptom relief toward greater inner safety, self-trust, and authenticity, and mind-body-spirit health and wellbeing.

Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
I offer a calm, supportive, and intentional approach to therapy where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin responding to life with more clarity and choice. Our work focuses on emotional regulation, confidence, and rebuilding trust in yourself, while gently addressing the deeper habits and experiences that continue to shape your reactions.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and motivated, yet find themselves repeating familiar emotional or mental patterns despite their best intentions. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of anxiety and self-doubt can be exhausting — especially when you’ve already put effort into change and still don’t feel steady or at ease.
This is a collaborative process for those who are ready to engage thoughtfully, reflect between sessions, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
After over 20 years of struggling with insomnia, I discovered that there IS a safe, long-lasting strategy that's more effective than sleep meds in the long run. It profoundly changed my life. Now my passion in life is helping others reclaim their lives with better sleep.

Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that our struggles make sense in the context of what we've lived through. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or painful relationships, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to heal at the root.
My approach is relational, compassionate, and trauma-informed, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-based perspectives. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the protective patterns that once helped them survive while creating space for lasting change.
I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can reconnect with yourself, develop greater self-compassion, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and connected.

Life Coach, ADHD Coach
I’m a trauma-informed coach who supports ADHDers move forward from a space of shame, overwhelm, and people-pleasing to a more grounded connection with themselves and others. In my work, I weave together nervous-system regulation, body-based awareness, and practical tools for communication, boundaries, and executive functioning. I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where I meet you where you’re at, honour your pacing, and support you in exploring small, sustainable shifts that create meaningful change.

Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
You may look capable on the outside, yet feel constantly tense, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted on the inside.

My therapy style is warm, structured, and collaborative, combining compassion-focused therapy and mindfulness to help you build inner safety, clarity, and resilience. I offer a supportive space where change happens gently, without judgment or pressure.

Laura Chartrand
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is gentle and non-judgmental — this is a space to actually explore what you're feeling, not just manage it.
I've had my own experience with anxiety and self-doubt, and it shapes how I show up with clients. I don't believe healing means fixing something broken in you. It means reconnecting with who you already are underneath the noise.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don't have to sort through it alone.

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Let's talk ADHD!
Are you newly diagnosed ADHD? or an experienced hyperactive/ inattentive brain? I focus on working with and understanding the ADHD brain, looking at the challenges, strategies and differences of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world- let's get into it!
I believe in a person-centered approach that provides unique, tailored support for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, gaining a deep understanding of your challenges, experiences, goals, and emotions. In addition to fostering emotional well-being, I incorporate strategies to enhance executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—to support overall life balance and daily functioning. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, as it strengthens key life skills that promote resilience and personal growth.

Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
I started classical guitar when I was 10 and mountaineering at 13. I quit high school after 11th grade, and worked as a NASA astronomer before I finished college. I earned a physics PhD—almost being expelled for insubordination—and started writing business software as a consultant for IT departments at middle-sized businesses. While I was having adventures in the jungle, the arctic, the Caribbean, Mongolia, New Zealand, Europe, and Central America, I became a snowboarder, scuba diver, paraglider, and soar plane pilot. I been married twice, have two sons, built two houses, and written many books on therapy, growth, and development. Combining science with psychedelics, I became an EEG brain trainer and researcher, practitioner of hypnotic Past Life Regression, sensory deprivation meditation, ayahuasca, and hypnosis. Psychotherapy, which I previously found to be too self involved, finally seemed worth my attention, so I became a psychotherapist. Now I focus on opening doors to meaning, personal growth, and larger states of awareness. I think this is what I was always looking for. Are you interested?

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
