Laurie Moniz

When life feels too heavy to carry alone — after a relationship fractures, a crisis lands without warning, or a pattern keeps repeating no matter how hard someone tries to break it — that is often when people find their way to Laurie Moniz. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Victoria, BC, she creates the kind of environment where people feel genuinely heard before they are asked to do anything at all.

Laurie works with teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges: anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse recovery, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, addiction, career stress, and more. Her therapeutic approach draws on Somatic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — chosen and combined with the individual in mind, not applied as a fixed formula. For clients who notice that fractured attention and the pull of constant notifications have made it harder to follow through on the changes they actually want to make, that erosion of focus is something she treats as a real and addressable part of the picture.

Laurie’s work spans community mental health, non-profit settings, and private practice. She offers online sessions and welcomes people with a free fifteen-minute consultation. More information about her services is available at www.lauriemoniz.com.
