Therapy Program

Our Expertise – A skill development program that’s innovative, evidence-based, and truly wholistic

At Victoria Wellness we present a unique and fulsome program intended to reignite an excitement and passion for living a full and balanced life. While our program is firmly grounded in the evidenced based programs of CBT, DBT and mindfulness, our clients also receive an unparallelled holistic advantage through our ECO program, based in cross-cultural nature connection practices. Your time at Victoria Wellness is finely balanced between learning new information, experiencing new skills, quiet reflection and joyful inspiration.

Victoria Wellness offers a comprehensive and robust program with a wide variety of topics and approaches. Clients will receive daily personal schedules and are expected to arrive on time and stay for the duration of each session. Our program includes ample time to rest, enjoy recreational time, quiet time to journal, or just watch some TV with other residents.

We consider both personal and group sessions vital to creating optimum opportunities for exposure to new concepts, successful processing and consistent integration and recovery.

Clients will receive daily personal schedules, lots of one-to-one attention, fully present on-floor staff for assistance available day or night, and flexibility to accommodate personal needs. Although our daily program is full and busy it also includes ample time to rest, enjoy recreational time, quiet time to journal, or just watch some TV with other residents.

Your typical day looks like this 

Note: This schedule can be subject to change as new research emerges and best practices evolve.

In addition to the daily program above, the following sessions are offered:

• • 1.5 hours of psychotherapy with your primary therapist per week
  • 2 mental health and/or addiction counselling sessions per week
  • 1 Reiki session per week
  • 1 relaxation massage per week
  • Neurofeedback, Dolphin, and HeartMath sessions are available for clients as desired

Program options

Victoria Wellness offers 28 day, 35 day, and 42 day program stays to suit clients’ availability and personal considerations.

We do understand that people may have busy lives, families, work, and financial constraints.  Clients can start with a 4-week program and extend their stay week by week for an additional fee.  Please get in touch so we can discuss the various options with you in detail.

In-House Medical Support

We provide our clients a healthy, stable environment in which to heal by supporting you with:

• A registered practical nurse who oversees the handling and distribution of all your medications and any immediate medical concerns. During your stay VW will help you keep you on track with taking your pre-prescribed medications so that you benefit from their maximum support. All clients should come prepared with all their personal prescribed medications and supplements for the duration of their stay. We DO NOT prescribe medication or make changes to dosages in house.
• 1 appointment with a licensed and qualified nurse practitioner to help you review your current medications, make changes if necessary, review your overall health and personal concerns. You may be able to book further sessions with them independently as you require.
• On-site fully registered counsellors and psychotherapists.
• We can help facilitate appointments with your family doctor and will access local hospital services as required for emergency situations.

With courtesy for in house residents, we hope our new clients come into therapy sober and ready to participate fully in their program. We are not a medical detox facility.

Post program care

After you go home, our support continues. You will have one follow-up appointment with your primary psychotherapist a month after your discharge, one follow-up with your primary counsellor two weeks after you get home and one with a holistic counsellor three weeks after you leave.

You will also receive access to a weekly peer support group via Zoom conducted by our Director of Holistic Wellness, as long as you need it.

Eighteen-week Touchstone After Care Program. This is a refresher program of CBT, DBT, and ECO key skill components. Available to Victoria Wellness alumni only.
