Vera Roncon, MA, C. Psych, Registered Clinical Psychologist
Thank you for visiting my webpage. If you are looking for help dealing with mental health challenges, I welcome you to read on.
About Me
As a psychologist I have had the pleasure of working with adults and adolescents since 1993. My academic background in psychology (BA, MA) and training in various evidence based therapies allows me to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment of various mental health issues. I have worked in hospitals, community agencies and in private practice. I spent 12 years working at the Toronto General Hospital, 7 of which were in the eating disorders day treatment centre and 5 in a community mental health program. I have a special interest and expertise in working with those affected by eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD.
What to Expect
At our first meeting, we will review the reason for your seeking therapy and I will gather information to help us understand how these issues have developed. This helps us formulate a plan to decide whether therapy would be suitable. If this is the case then we will make a plan as to how often to meet and what goals to work on. Each individual is different and therapy can last a few sessions or many months.
I work from a client-centred, collaborative and integrative approach drawing on my training in cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and mindfulness based approaches, attachment and trauma based therapies including cognitive processing and EMDR. I use techniques that suit the client and do not adhere to a "one size fits all" philosophy. Some typical goals are to help you develop awareness of how your personal beliefs impact your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, or how certain unhelpful patterns tend to be repeated and keep you stuck. Some types of therapy (CBT for ADHD) may involve developing specific skills to improve daily functioning.
