Brainspotting Therapists in Victoria, BC

Are you ready to make meaningful transformations or become hopeful again that change is possible? Hi, I'm Sanja, a woman in her 40s who has been an educator, a published author and an academic for more than a decade and a half. I provide individual and couples therapy in Ontario and other provinces through a holistic and integrative lens informed by neuroscience. Contact me at sanjatherapy@gmail.com for a complimentary 20 minute consultation. I'd be pleased to connect with you. If you feel confident about booking a session, till mid October my clinic is offering a 35 minute free intake first session. Easily book it yourself or contact me to arrange. Let's chat!

I believe therapy should be a place where people feel safe enough to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves—often for the first time in a long while. Many individuals come to therapy carrying invisible burdens: unprocessed trauma, chronic stress, cultural or family expectations, or the exhaustion of always having to hold it together. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, emotion-focused approach that honours each person's lived experience, cultural context, and nervous system. I integrate evidence-based modalities—including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic-based interventions—to help clients understand their emotional patterns, heal from past experiences, and develop practical strategies for daily life. I value collaboration, transparency, and respect in the therapeutic relationship. Therapy isn't about fixing or forcing change; it's about creating the conditions for clarity, resilience, and self-trust to emerge. My goal is to help clients build a more grounded, compassionate relationship with themselves—and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

Hi, my name is Kimberly. As I worked to heal my own trauma, I worked with several well meaning counsellors and therapists, who really didn't know or understand how to work with complex or developmental trauma. At worst, I was further hurt by their efforts to help me, at best it fuelled me to go back to school to get the education needed to fit this gap, for those who may need help in these areas as well. The impact of developmental & complex trauma on a person is enormous and impacts the entire person and all aspects of their lives. There isn't an area of your life that cannot be improved by healing your trauma. I work efficiently and thoroughly, as you have been through enough. Healing shouldn't be harder or longer than what you have already been through.

Sessions are collaborative, consent driven, experiential and oriented toward lasting, embodied change. I aim to support you in connecting with yourself in new ways to allow for relief, vitality, presence and confidence in your life and relationships.

Transformational change is possible for you. I’ll help you unlock your potential and create a more fulfilling life.

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.
