Veronica Felizardo
MSW, RSW, Doctor in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Cand.),
Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist
Provides services in Perth, and virtually
Therapy for the resistant, the overwhelmed, and the “I’ve tried everything” crowd
What to Expect
- No fluff—just real talk, real tools, and real change from day one
- Brief, powerful therapy (single-session, CBT, SFBT, ADHD strategies)
- Between-session email/text check-ins to keep momentum and accountability
- Straightforward support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, addictions, relationship conflict, workplace stress, and emotional regulation
Credentials That Back It Up
- Masters in Social Work (MSW) – Wilfrid Laurier University
- Completing Doctorate in Counselling & Psychotherapy – Yorkville University
- Therapeutic practice informed by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness and somatic practices, Gottman methods
- ADHD Clinical Services Provider
- 20+ years of clinical experience with individuals, couples, and families
- Member of Family Mediation Canada
- National & international speaker on resilience, empowerment, and systemic change
Where She’s Most At Home
- Neurodivergent clients (ADHD, high-conflict dynamics, emotion regulation)
- First-timers or resistant clients (“Therapy skeptics” and the “I’ve tried everything” crowd)
- Couples rebuilding trust or stuck in repetitive conflict
- Systems-facing professionals (first responders, caregivers, corporate burnout)
- LGBTQ2+ safe space and culturally/generationally complex dynamics
- High-stakes life transitions (divorce, caregiving, new parents)
- Sharing resources so you always have what you need available, no matter what life throws your way
What She Believes
- Healing should be practical, not poetic—skills over theory
- Accountability is more powerful than advice
- Resistance is a starting point, not a problem (creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for those new to the process).
- One powerful session can shift everything; Single-session therapy can be a game-changer. Not everyone needs years on a couch
- Systems shape people—therapy should challenge both; Veronica advocates fiercely for neurodivergent folks, first responders, LGBTQ2+ communities, and anyone navigating cultural/generational clashes
- You don’t need fixing—you need support that fits
Specialties
- ADHD assessments + psychoeducation (focus, emotion regulation, relationship dynamics)
Couples therapy that actually moves the needle [helping partners break cycles of conflict, rebuild connection, and navigate differences (including resistance to counselling)] - Self-worth rebels (“too much” or “not enough” narratives)
High-conflict family dynamics (mediation, divorce, power struggles)
Workplace toxicity & burnout recovery (e.g. accommodations) - Adaptable and flexible (meeting clients how they present- whether that’s crisis support, skill-building, or deep exploration of patterns)
Off the Clock
When not working, she’s advocating for social justice, recharging at a concert, and dissecting cultural systems and patterns.
Ready to cut through the noise? Let’s build resilience, boundaries, and tools that last. Veronica offers free 15-minute consultations to ensure a good fit.
