Virginia Reimer, Marriage Therapist
Located in Nanaimo BC and trained specifically in the area of Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in relationship issues.
I am known for my non-judgemental, direct, forthright counselling style. Clients often comment how I am able to help them think about, or see things in new and different ways. I bring life experience to my training, as I am married and a mother of three adult children. I am passionate about helping people find new and healthy ways to experience relationships.

Experiencing Relationship Difficulties?
Amid these conflicts you may have asked yourself: have I made a mistake? Is it a normal part of marital development to come to a place in the relationship where the dream of a happy marriage is not congruent with the reality you are living.
As a result, many people make one of the following three choices.
-
They leave, in the hopes of trying to get it right with a different person.
-
They remain in the patterns of communication the two of them have developed and accepted as the norm in their relationship.
-
They both commit to changing, finding new ways of dealing with conflict and growing towards greater intimacy. This new way, may not fit each other's initial expectations for the relationship, but the end result fosters the growth and maturity of each partner, a greater intimacy, and a more rewarding relationship.
You, like many couples who walk through my door, may feel stuck and hopeless about your marriage or relationship.
You may not have imagined you would have the kind of emotional distance or conflict in your relationship or marriage that you are now experiencing.
Couples who engage in therapy will leave my counselling office with renewed hope knowing they possess the tools to deal with conflicts as they arise.
