Veronique Rioux
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Transpersonal Counsellor (RTC number 3047)
Hi, I’m Véro! While clients now describe me as positive and full of joy, I wasn’t always this way. I struggled with depression as a teenager, feeling lost and disconnected. Exercise became my medicine, giving me strength and lifting my mood. Later, yoga and therapy helped me heal from physical and emotional pain.
I founded Choose2be to share the transformative power of a healthy lifestyle. Over time, I realized my clients needed more than physical support, so I became a Transpersonal Therapeutic Counsellor and created Vancouver Island Holistic Counselling. Now, I offer a holistic approach that nurtures body, mind, and spirit.
As a partner and mom of three, I understand the challenges of life, and I’m here to support you through yours.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Shanelle Jarvis
Therapist, MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Life can be challenging, and finding a therapist who truly understands you can feel like a difficult task. It’s natural to feel as though no one gets what you’re going through, leading to feelings of overwhelm, stress, or numbness as time goes by. At times, it may seem like you’re on a rollercoaster, experiencing more lows than highs. However, seeking therapy is a brave step, and every part of you is welcome here—even those hurtful or avoided parts. We all need support at times to navigate life’s obstacles, manage relationships, regulate our emotions, and heal from past traumas. You don’t have to go through this alone.
While change can sometimes feel overwhelming, it’s important to recognize that a little support can make a big difference overcoming life’s hurdles, managing relationships, and healing from traumatic experiences. As we work together, you’ll have the opportunity to embrace your authentic self and feel empowered while exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
While the process of seeking professional help can feel overwhelming and challenging at first, it is truly one of the most significant steps on your path to inner healing. I warmly invite you to take that next step by reaching out to me so we can explore together whether we are a good fit for your needs!
