Veronique Rioux

Approach Description: I blend evidence-based and experiential methods to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, I aim to address the mind, body, emotions, and relationships, offering holistic support that aligns with your unique needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. By reframing these thoughts, clients can develop healthier perspectives and coping mechanisms, leading to more positive emotional outcomes. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): EFT focuses on emotions as the key to understanding and improving relationships. I help individuals and couples create secure emotional bonds by fostering a deeper understanding of their own and their partner’s emotions, leading to more fulfilling connections. Experiential Family Systems Therapy: I emphasize the importance of family dynamics and relationships in shaping an individual's emotional experience. By engaging family members in experiential activities, we can uncover underlying emotions and patterns that contribute to both individual and collective issues, fostering healthier family systems. The Gottman Method: This evidence-based approach to relationship therapy helps strengthen the connection between partners by improving communication, resolving conflicts constructively, and deepening emotional intimacy through practical tools. Imago Relationship Therapy: I view relationship struggles as opportunities for healing past wounds. By helping partners recognize and address their unconscious patterns, I work to create conscious, loving communication that fosters deep emotional healing and growth in relationships. Person-Centered Therapy: In this client-led approach, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients are free to explore their inner thoughts and feelings. I offer empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, empowering clients to uncover their own solutions and achieve personal growth. Somatic Therapy: This body-focused therapy integrates physical awareness into the healing process, recognizing the connection between mind and body. By focusing on bodily sensations and stored trauma, clients can release physical tension and emotional blocks, leading to deeper healing. Transpersonal Therapy: This holistic approach explores the spiritual dimensions of the human experience. By addressing both psychological and spiritual concerns, I help clients discover deeper meaning, connect with their higher self, and achieve personal transformation. By combining these therapeutic modalities, I aim to support clients in creating meaningful change in their lives. Whether you're seeking individual growth or relationship healing, I will work with you to address the emotional, cognitive, and somatic layers of your experience, helping you move towards greater well-being and fulfillment.
