In the depths of the pandemic, Tiffany and Melissa Petite founded Virtuous Circle Counselling (VCC) to provide consistent support during an unpredictable time. Today, its mission to offer effective care and create positive community impact remains as strong as ever. The private counselling practice has seen exponential growth because people have responded to a practice that deeply cares for its clients.
Now, with locations across three cities, VCC’s team is made up of passionate and driven experts who want to help. “It doesn’t have to get so bad for you to begin to be supported. We have our clients’ backs, and we will help individuals thrive so that they can contribute to the life they want to live,” says Tiffany.
Client autonomy
From start to finish, clients are completely in control. The practice offers both online and in-person services at flexible hours so you can choose what’s best for you and when. If you’re only free on Sundays or during the evenings, VCC is there for you.
“We’ve shifted the power that in health care has been given to providers to our clients,” says Tiffany.
VCC offers free 30-minute consultations with any number of its mental health professionals, so clients can choose who truly feels like the right fit. Effective care begins with a good client-therapist relationship, and this happens through VCC’s commitment to match people with purpose.
Passionate professionals
The team at VCC consists of a versatile range of professionals equipped to help in several types of evidence-based therapy models and specialties, from anxiety, trauma and grief to sport psychology, couples counselling and more.
“Our goal was to become a very well-versed, well-rounded practice that anybody saw themselves in,” says Tiffany. “There’s something for everybody here and that’s part of our desire to resonate with our community by providing choices.”
Every team member at VCC is a regulated health professional who holds at least a master’s degree. But beyond training and expert knowledge, the team is united in its mission to strengthen the fabric of the community.
The team at VCC is wholly committed to community impact by supporting events that help promote the importance of mental health. VCC also engages in different sponsorship opportunities and initiatives with local nonprofits.
“We really want to create a place to help strengthen the lives of our people in our community,” emphasizes Tiffany. “We do that not just in the services we provide, but in the ways in which we promote other initiatives that we feel match our vision and our values.”
Timely help
Right from the get-go, VCC is careful not to keep you waiting. “We know that when people finally make the decision to get help, we have to strike when the iron is hot,” Tiffany affirms. “When people are ready, we want to be ready for them.”
Generally, clients can start seeing a therapist within a week. Once you find a good fit with a VCC professional, you will receive consistent support — no waiting months on end to see someone.
“We’re about giving people consistency, reliability and predictability,” says Tiffany. “That creates safety and trust, and that’s what relationships are about.”
