About Juliana Villabona

Welcome to My Practice

I am Juliana Villabona, MSW, RSW, RMFT, and it’s my life’s mission to guide individuals, couples, and families on their unique paths to healing and self-discovery. My practice in Kitchener-Waterloo is more than a therapy space—it’s a place where growth, understanding, and change are nurtured.

Journey

My passion for understanding the human psyche and helping others find balance and joy in their lives, led me to the field of psychotherapy.

Approach

I believe in the power of personalized therapy. Each person's story is unique, and so should be their path to healing.

Qualifications

I am a Registered Social Worker, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Advanced Practitioner in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist. For twenty plus years I have been developing a trauma-focused practice that incorporates evidence-based approaches as well as body-based, and talk-based therapy.

My strong interest in learning allows me to incorporate other techniques such as Havening (a gentle way to decrease trauma symptoms) into my practice.

I began my career in Colombia as a registered psychologist. Since immigrating to Ontario, I have worked extensively with women and children who have been exposed to intimate partner and sexual violence. I attained my Master of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University and later became a Certified Marriage and Family Therapist through extensive studies and rigorous certification process through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
