Hi, My name is Victor. Do you need support with taking care of your mental health? I can certainly help you. My concentrations are on patients with psychiatric-mental health challenges across the lifespan such as ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Schizophrenia, Substance use disorders (Addiction Health), Bipolar disorder, Dementia, and other behavioural health issues. At my core, I prioritize the mental well-being of my clients, offering a range of evidence-based treatments and therapies tailored to meet their unique needs. I am highly skilled and I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can find solace, healing, and growth. I have over 15 years of experience in general and mental health care practice which spans across Canada and the US. I graduated from the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program at the University of South Alabama and was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society, Zeta Gamma Chapter.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

With a team approach, I will work with you according to your pace to achieve your therapeutic goals without judgment and a biased mindset. I will create an environment for you as my patient to thrive and ensure that you get the right assessment, treatment, evaluation, medication management, or referral for your mental healthcare needs. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those navigating mental health issues, I aim to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and foster a community that embraces empathy and support. Through my innovative programs and services, I strive to educate and empower individuals, families, and communities to prioritize mental health as an essential aspect of overall well-being.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize evidence-based approaches to deliver patient-centred and trauma-informed types of care, which are tailored to suit the patient’s needs, goals, and vision. My personal and educational backgrounds have helped me to acquire excellent intercultural communication skills, having practiced nursing across different continents and multiple cultures I understand that seeking help for mental health can be daunting, which is why I emphasize empathy, respect, and confidentiality in every interaction. My client-centred approach ensures that individuals feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their treatment plans. I am committed to fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences and receiving the support they deserve.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am skilled in evaluating, diagnosing, and partnering with patients to select the best treatment options for them. I ensure that my patients receive the right care. As healthcare improves, I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of advancements in mental health care. I actively engage in research, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and incorporate innovative techniques to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients. I believe that healing is possible and that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling and balanced life. Together, let's embark on a journey toward mental well-being, resilience, and personal growth. I am also a certified mindfulness-informed professional (CMIP). Join me and discover the transformative power of compassionate care.
