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.
