BRYAN MILONJA, MA, RCC
TIST Certified Therapist

Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) located in Victoria, BC

In my practice I work with adults (individuals, couples, families). My specialty areas include complex trauma & PTSD, intimate relationship issues, men's issues, depression, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and parent-adult child relationship issues.

​

I also help people navigate a wide range of challenges related to identity, relationship to self/others, addiction, & stress/burnout.

 

My clinical background includes working as a therapist at an early psychosis & bipolar clinic, an addictions & criminality recovery program, and a men's trauma centre.

 

I have been in private practice for several years and have focused my practice on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the impact of trauma. My approach to individual therapy integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Informed Stabilization (TIST), and my approach to couples and family therapy integrates Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). Psychodynamic and existential therapy models also help guide my work.
