Holistic Psychotherapy

Welcome to my world where limitless possibilities can be reached! My name is Victoria Lorient-Faibish. I hold a Masters degree in Educational Psychology and I am a Certified Member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association as well as a member of the Ontario and American Polarity Therapy Associations. I have been in practice since 1990 and in addition to my traditional psychotherapy training; I have over 8 years of training in eastern philosophy body-centred modalities including Polarity Therapy, Reiki, New Decision Therapy and Craniosacral. I offer an East meets West, holistic approach to psychotherapy in which a foundational process is provided as the framework for profound self awareness and transformation.

I work with traditional talk therapy, life coaching, visualization and somatic focusing and I integrate the body centred work to assist in the integration of the new information gained by the client and to maintain groundedness as the emotional unfolding occurs.

Primarily people come to my office because they are very ready to change that which is no longer working for them. I hold this space and intention in a much focused way. We work with family of origin issues, unresolved patterns of behaviour, grief & loss, depression, codependency, anxiety, addictions, marital strife, parenting, mother, father, & sibling issues, life purpose issues, workplace disharmony, repetition/compulsion distress, poor self esteem, conflict resolution, trauma, eating disorders and anything else that is compromising a person from fully living in joy, ease, well being, health and happiness. This work is wonderfully effective for those who are dealing with chronic emotional lack of ease.

I provide brief and long-term Transformational Holistic Psychotherapy, Motivation and Inspiration, Life Coaching, Parts Integration Therapy, Stress-Reduction, New Decision Therapy™, Couples Therapy, Polarity Therapy, Craniosacral, Reiki, and Trauma Therapy.

In a session:

Techniques used include:

Traditional talk therapy: Giving space for the client to explore and express feelings, own awareness’s, observe and understand realizations, transform thoughts, grieve and mourn, vent, and get in touch with life’s lessons and opportunities for completion and integration.

Life Coaching: Getting clear, goal setting, correcting erroneous belief patterns, day to day goal managing.

Somatic focusing: Accessing the deep subconscious and unconscious realms through dialoguing deeply with the body, the mind and spirit. This is a powerful tool for deep self awareness and self contemplation.

Mantras: Sanskrit words and prayers that shift our vibration through repetition and focus.

Visualizing: using the imagination to self regulate and self heal through imagery, journeying and storytelling

Unwinding trauma through relaxation: Activating the parasympathetic nervous system i.e. the relaxation response through various means including Polarity Therapy, Cranio-Sacral, Reiki, movement, stretching, breath work and more.

Affirmations: Utilizing language awareness and word repetition to transform thoughts, attitudes, neural pathways and vibration

New Decision Therapy: (see page)

These techniques are used to facilitate self awareness which is essential for change and transformation. A consistent movement toward becoming a whole and integrated person is the eventual outcome.
