Healing Starts Here

Meet Keisha Virago

Registered Professional Counsellor 

For most of my life, I lived in survival mode. I grew up being labeled the “problem child” and started counselling when I was nine. Later, I battled addiction and carried the shame, guilt, and self-blame that so often come with it. I know what it’s like to feel broken, stuck, or unworthy — and I also know that it’s possible to heal.

​

That’s why I do this work. I support people who are carrying the heavy weight of trauma, struggling with addiction, or untangling themselves from toxic or abusive parents. Many of my clients are in the messy, painful process of going no contact — with family, partners, or anyone else who isn’t safe to keep close. It’s not easy, but it can be the start of freedom.

​

In our work together, I’ll help you:

​

  • Find relief from the constant survival mode that keeps you exhausted.

  • Break free from guilt and shame tied to addiction or coping strategies.

  • Untangle the painful beliefs you were handed by parents, partners, or others who hurt you.

  • Learn how to feel safe in your own body and trust yourself again.​

​

I bring a mix of tools and approaches into sessions, but at the heart of it, my style is real, down-to-earth, and compassionate. I believe you are not defined by your past or the choices you had to make to get through it. You are allowed to step into a version of yourself that feels whole, free, and truly yours.

​

If you’re ready to start healing, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
