She studied the neuropsychology of internalizing disorders during development at the Sainte-Justine Hospital for 5 years, as well as REM sleep and dreams at Sacré-Coeur Hospital in Montreal for 3 years. She also worked as a counselor for 3 years with a homeless clientele with severe mental health and / or physical disorders. Vickie uses an integrative therapeutic approach, according to the level of intervention that meets the needs of clients. During her clinical training, she was trained in cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches. She also has expertise in play therapy with children and adolescents. Vickie is also an internationally certified yoga teacher, which she uses to enrich her therapeutic tools.
