The Team
Vincent Mireau, Lead Psychologist
In my life, some of my core values are:
affirming client rights and responsibilities of professionals
making a positive impact
providing ethical stewardship of client information
freedom of time and freedom of relationship
When I was a teacher and school counsellor, I was able to rely on colleagues or guest teachers to look after the students if I had to step away. It occurred to me during a workshop on record keeping that psychologists do not typically enjoy this same web of support.
I am a mid-career psychologist looking to create a new type of service and promote freedom / self-care in our profession. I have additional training and experience in safety work, insomnia, trauma, child and family work (both talk and play based), addictions, and school psychology.
As a counselling professional, I am quite interested in Common factors theory, the Polyvagal Theory, creative forms of CBT, the use of EMDR, Transactional Analysis, and Narrative principles. I am passionate about the effective promotion of safety in the context of domestic violence and chronic suicidality. I am fluent in English and French.
