Clinical therapy is designed to support individuals and couples in improving their overall quality of life by providing effective tools and strategies. The therapeutic process begins with an initial consultation and assessment for both individual and couples therapy, which helps to inform the development of a personalized treatment plan and set clear goals.

I offer a range of therapeutic modalities, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Life Process Transformation (a Humanistic/Existential approach), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and an Attachment-Based approach. Additionally, my practice incorporates a strength-based and trauma-informed perspective, along with a biopsychosocial framework, to ensure a holistic and comprehensive approach to therapy for both individuals and couples.

Virlyn Collantes, MSW, RSW, is a seasoned mental health practitioner with dual registration as a Registered Social Worker in British Columbia and Ontario. With extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings across Chicago, San Diego, and Vancouver, I have honed my skills in diverse therapeutic environments. My background includes providing counselling services through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) before transitioning to a private practice focused exclusively on clinical therapy for adults.

I offer specialized individual and couples therapy, addressing a wide range of concerns including relationship and marriage issues, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, prenatal/postpartum depression, life transitions, and personality disorders. My goal is to provide compassionate and effective support tailored to each client’s unique needs.
