Why Choose VMH?

Vault is a progressive practice; our therapists are constantly learning and growing alongside our clients each day.

We believe that our therapeutic practices should incorporate tried and true techniques while constantly evolving to give our clients the opportunity to become their best self. Our therapists are extensively trained and feel that a welcoming atmosphere, caring attitude, and ability to collaborate are important facets of the process. Trained in multiple modalities including CBT, Mindfulness Based, Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused, VMH uses an eclectic and integrated approach. With a background in anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, couples counselling, relationship problems, abuse, self-esteem, burnout and more, we are eager to help you reach your potential.

V – Vision 

At Vault, we begin with the end in mind; taking a proactive approach to your therapeutic needs. Nobody wants to feel stuck working on the same goals forever. We want you to see the end, to believe that there is an end. You can take control, feel empowered and continue working on your individual needs and goals when you leave your appointments.  Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or disabilities, Vault is here to help build upon your current toolbox to reach your full potential and embody the best “you”. 

A  – Authenticity 

We’re not just a weekly or bi-weekly appointment in your calendar that you feel obligated to go to. At Vault, we believe that our clients benefit from an authentic therapeutic relationship. This means that we share our personalities and our empathetic nature, creating a bond that leaves our clients feeling comfortable and ready to engage. 

U  – Understanding 

Everyone, regardless if they’re in therapy or not, wants to feel understood, to feel heard and to feel validated in their thoughts and beliefs. At Vault, we hear you and we will work to understand and empower you to live your best life. With understanding comes acceptance; acceptance of yourself, your situation and others. This creates an ability to take control of your mental health, becoming your own biggest emotional supporter. We work with our clients to not only understand their struggles but to also understand how to manage or overcome these, while giving yourself a little grace in the process. 

L – learning 

“Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you’ll ever have is your mind and what you put into it” – Albert Einstein

If Einstein believes it, so do we. At Vault, we truly believe we can always grow, becoming better in our work and personal lives. We are always growing, learning and figuring out the best practices to keep up with our clients’ ever changing needs. Ongoing training is vital in continuing to understand and grow with our practices and it’s something we take pride in here at Vault. 

T – Togetherness

One-sided therapy does not work. In order to elicit change, our team and our clients must work together, creating and evolving that positive therapeutic relationship. At Vault, we believe that we must feel that sense of togetherness not only in our practice but in our community too. We are active throughout the communities we serve; our families live in the communities, we play in these communities and we work to better these communities. Implementing a multi-disciplinary approach, Vault practitioners work hard to ensure client’s are able to access any and all support they need, creating a true feeling of togetherness.
