Villeena Villantheran

I am currently a Senior Doctoral Student at Adler University. I have completed all of my doctoral coursework and training, and am working on my dissertation. Dissertation is the final step in meeting my doctoral degree requirements. I provide in-person and online psychological assessment and treatment, under the direct supervision of Dr. Jennifer Campbell, RPsych. 

​

I have a passion for working with youth and young adults (ages 8-30) from various sociocultural backgrounds. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, interpersonal difficulties, issues related to sexuality, and disordered eating. 

​

Therapeutically, I focus on building a strong relationship with clients by providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore the internal and external barriers that cause emotional distress. I value being authentic with clients and tend to include humour and a healthy dose of fun in my work. I believe that through therapy, we can collaboratively explore your values and personal goals to empower you with the skills to build the life you want. Through our work together, I intend to help you recognize your inner resources so you can continue to draw on them as you go through the ups and downs of life! 

​

My work with each individual is unique as I believe in tailoring the therapy process to fit your goals and needs. The evidence-based therapeutic approaches that I utilize most frequently are as follows: 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Person Centered Therapy
