Your Narrative, Your Journey
Victoria Cory, RCC, CCC
Hello there!
I’m Victoria, a passionate and dedicated therapist who understands the unique journey that 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals navigate. As a queer person, I bring not only professional expertise but also a personal understanding of the challenges and triumphs that shape our diverse experience.
With extensive training in working with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, my mission is to create a safe and affirming space for youth, adults, and couples. While it is primarily the individual who decides what space is safe for them, I strive to create an inclusive and respectful space that considers every aspect of your intersectionality. My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves therapy that resonates with their identity, where there is no need to explain or justify who you are.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in narrative, emotion-focused, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioural, and mindfulness therapies, as well as being trauma-informed and strength-based. I am sex, sex worker, kink, and ethical non-monogamy positive.

Affirming Therapy
Your identity is valid, and so are your experiences. Whether you’re exploring your identity, coping with challenges, or seeking support for a relationship, I offer therapy that acknowledges and celebrates the unique aspects of the queer community. It’s a space where you can be authentically you without fear or judgement.
In our sessions, you won’t need to educate me about your identity or experience; I’m here to listen, understand and support. We will navigate your path together. My commitment is to provide a therapeutic experience where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
Coming Out Support
One topic that I see a lot in my practice is that of “coming out” and sharing your gender or sexual identity with others.
This is a highly personal and difficult experience and is different depending on the individual. Coming out does not necessarily involve one single event and may instead look like you are slowly letting certain people into your experience on your terms and at your pace. Our work together may be helping you decide what this journey looks like for you. There is no rule saying that you must be loud and proud in every aspect of your life. However, if that is what you want, I am also here to support you with that journey.
Rewrite Your Narrative
In my practice, I help clients to rewrite their narrative. We live in a highly heteronormative and cisnormative society. Together, we explore and navigate the unique challenges posed by societal norms, stereotypes, and discrimination.
We work to build up your queer community so that you feel seen and identified with. Often, it can feel like our stories are written for us, so let’s take that back. Let’s work together to write a narrative that works for you that celebrates the intersections of your identity and articulates your truth.
Navigating Non-Acceptance
I work with a lot of clients to navigate the complexities of family dynamics, especially when faced with non-acceptance.
My goal is to provide you with the tools, strategies, and support to navigate these conversations and negative interactions with resilience and grace, empowering you to set boundaries and maintain your authentic self. Sometimes the family we are born into does not end up being the one in which we are accepted and safe. I am here to support you in processing this loss and building a community where you feel safe and supported.
Online Counselling
My therapy practice is fully online. You can connect with me from the comfort of your own space. A big barrier for individuals in more remote areas can be access to counsellors in your area.
Online therapy breaks down geographical barriers, allowing us to work together no matter where you are.
If you are coming to therapy for the first time it can also be daunting to meet someone in person. Having the familiarity of your own space can help with this new experience.
Online also offers you the confidentiality of not risking running into someone you don’t want to while going to an in-person clinic.
The virtual space we create is just as authentic and supportive as an in-person session, ensuring that you receive the care you deserve, on your terms.
Let’s Begin Your Journey
Embarking on the path of self-discovery and healing is a courageous step. If you’re ready to explore, grow, and thrive in an affirming space, I’m here to walk with you. Reach out, and let’s start this journey together.
