Vitina Filiberto (she/her) - OEATA Member Directory

Vitina Filiberto (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist and Expressive Arts Therapist based in Toronto, offering virtual sessions through her private practice. With a deep passion for human behaviour and development, she is driven by our fundamental need for love, safety, and belonging.

Beyond her work as a therapist, Vitina is a poet, writer, and visual artist who believes in the transformative power of the arts. She sees creative expression as a cathartic outlet and a valuable resource during times of difficulty and transition. This passion led her to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University and a Diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy from The Create Institute.

While her formal education has shaped her knowledge, Vitina’s greatest teachers have been her own lived experiences-navigating trauma, relationships, infertility, adoption, parenthood, grief, and bereavement. Most recently, her journey through breast cancer and survivorship has further deepened her understanding of resilience and healing. These experiences allow her to bring an empathetic and non-judgmental approach to her work, supporting clients with honesty and authenticity.

Vitina works collaboratively and holistically with adult individuals who seek to improve their thoughts, feelings, moods, behaviours, and social functioning. She follows emotional, cognitive and somatic cues to help clients process experiences, identify patterns, address discomfort, and examine the mind-body connection. Through a trauma-informed and strength-based lens, Vitina integrates concepts and techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches, while incorporating the arts to explore emotions, deepen understanding, and develop compassion for self and others. By remaining curious and playful, other possibilities can be imagined.
