Graduate Intern

Victor Steeghs

Victor Steeghs is a graduate intern at Venya Therapeutics, completing his Master's in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling at Naropa University. He works with adults in person and via telehealth, under the supervision of Alexandria Mezyad, MA, LPC-S.

Victor's approach is present-centered and relational. He draws on Gestalt and person-centered practice, with deep attention to contact, the client's experience, and the patterns in the mind and body. Values, meaning, choice, grief, trauma, and periods of transition are areas of his study and interest. Victor developed much of his current paradigm through two decades of meditation and integrating spiritual philosophies and perspectives. He acknowledges the Law of One and Gene Keys as important languages for him personally, however he is adept at navigating other paradigms and ways of viewing the world.

I am passionate about growth. If you are feeling stuck and want to feel more agency in your experience, I would love to meet you. I work well with people who operate from the mind, but are interested in moving more of their energy into the body and sensation. I love working with awareness around patterns in the mind and body. In addition, I seek somatic/emotion-centered clients who are seeking more direct contact and processing in gestalt therapy.
