Valhalla Visions Counselling Clinic Standards of Care
Trauma-Informed Organizations (please click)
The Prevention of Sanctuary Trauma
Valhalla Visions Counselling Clinic implements high standards care, and regularly facilitates open communication with clientele including opportunities for feedback. Natalie wishes for everyone to have a soft landing when coming for counselling therapy within a safe, supportive and protective environment. As of 2024, she’s accumulated over 20 years of both studied and applied psychology formally and informally, and has tallied 15 years work experience in various mental health capacities.
Many individuals coming to the Clinic are enduring Operational Stress Injuries, up to and including experience with internal discrimination/abuse on top of the demands of their work, and/or complex physical and mental wellness challenges. They typically hold a higher regard and respect for structure, being informed and consistency. It comes from having worked in occupations where a chiselled character and professionalism is needed because it can mean life or death. VVCC believes in working with all clients to help them learn how to focus on what they can control, accept what they cannot, and to cultivate or recover emotional resilience and inner strength. The Clinic also believes in genuine leadership to deliver a cohesive, mission-oriented program to all of its clientele. Other clients who have not worked in these environments may have been on the receiving end of a very long series of tragic and adverse life events. They require and can expect the same level of mindful application here.
Diversity and Inclusion
The Clinic has a strong interest in supporting and embracing a variety of methods for spiritual, animal assisted, sacred and native healing, but also recognizes and strives to balance the benefits of modern medicine, regulations and continuing education. VVCC does not take sides with anything other than anyone’s best interests for care. This also includes the best interests of the Clinic.

The Clinic will not be accepting students in the foreseeable future.
Clinical Staff
The Clinic will not be considering potential staff in the foreseeable future.
Future Orientations
Potential candidates interested to work with the Clinic will require a 6 month minimum of rigorous screening.
Warmest Regards,
Natalie Gillis
