“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Does this sound familiar?
You react the same way, feel stuck in the same cycles, or end up in the same emotional place.
You’re high-functioning on the outside, but internally you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, and it’s starting to affect your relationships.
You want better communication with your partner, but conversations quickly turn into defensiveness, silence, or feeling unheard, no matter how carefully you try to express yourself.
You carry a lot of responsibility, at work, in your family, or in your relationships, and rarely feel like there’s space for your needs without guilt or pressure.
You want real change, not just coping strategies. You’re looking to understand yourself more deeply, break old relational patterns, and build healthier ways of showing up.
If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, shift unhelpful patterns, and create more fulfilling relationships with clarity and confidence.
Here, at Sow and Grow Psychotherapy, we offer online and in-person sessions in Richmond Hill to help you achieve your goals.
Hi! It’s nice to meet you.
Veronica is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Science in Psychotherapy and a strong foundation in both clinical practice and psychological research.

Veronica has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, supporting clients through relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional distress, and personal growth.
Alongside her clinical work, she has a robust research background in relationships, intimacy, and family dynamics, with peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations across Canadian and international platforms.
Her work is guided by curiosity, compassion, and collaboration, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and build meaningful, lasting change.

According to the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Psychotherapy occurs when “the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client's thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning”.
With this definition, it is up to you to decide what psychotherapy will look like. It can look like having a safe space to unpack uncomfortable or happy feelings, or a place to explore coping mechanisms and tools to help reach your goals. For couples and families, psychotherapy can be a place to mend broken and hurt relationships, or it can be a place where you can find peace in moving on without one another. In any case, my role remains the same — your best interest is my number one priority.

The gift of therapy is for everyone to utilize. Therapy is not a place for “broken” people, rather it is a tool you can reference to learn more about yourself, and your relationships, establish boundaries and grow towards the person you wish to be.
I often use this metaphor with my clients: you can go to the gym because you have an injury and need to repair a ruptured muscle, or you can go to the gym without having an injury but with goals to build muscle. Both are acceptable and valid reasons to go to the gym.
-
Consultations are a great way for clients and clinicians to discuss goals, approach and experience. Here are some questions you can consider before meeting for a consult:
Are you looking for a safe space to unpack things or are you looking to learn tools and coping mechanisms?
Do you prefer a more conversational style or are you looking for a more structured approach?
Do you appreciate when others challenge you? Would you be okay with your therapist challenging you?
What is your reason for attending therapy? Is it a place to learn more about yourself, to unpack things from the past, to grow and improve, to reach a particular goal? How can your therapist help you reach your goal?
Have you done therapy before? What did you like and what didn’t you like?
What would make you say therapy worked?
-
The first session is 60 minutes long and serves as an initial intake. It’s a space for us to begin building a therapeutic relationship, where I take time to deeply listen to your story, understand what’s bringing you to therapy, and explore what support might look like moving forward. I tend to take a reflective, listening-based approach in this first meeting so I can get a fuller picture of your experiences, challenges, and goals. The session is $180, as it is longer and allows for a more comprehensive assessment.
