Dr. Victoria Williams, DSW, LCSW

As a mental health-enthusiast, I work with all individuals seeking change. I strive to meet each of my clients where they are by honoring their past experiences, while simultaneously creating meaning, belonging, and self-acceptance. I value vulnerability, humor, and collaboration within the therapeutic relationship and believe in providing a safe, judgment-free environment where you will feel seen and heard.

My therapeutic approach is compassion focused, person-centered, and trauma informed. As someone who is familiar with the impact of mental health struggles, I value working with those that identify a need for transformation. As a military child and spouse, I value working with active-duty, veterans, and their family members.

I believe we all have experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. However, we aren't always happy with that shaping and over time form a desire to become our ideal version of ourselves. I would love the opportunity to help you become that version.

it’s so nice to meet you!

GET TO KNOW ME:

I don’t expect you to feel comfortable spilling your life to a complete stranger, so here’s some things about me!

MILITARY SPOUSE

My husband and I have been married for 5 years. He (along with being an “army brat”) is a significant part of the reason why I am passionate about working with the military population and their families.

ADVENTURE SEEKER

I love all things adventure. I have been skydiving a couple of times, enjoy traveling, and love hiking (even though it’s not nearly as easy as it was when I was 21).

DOG ENTHUSIAST

I have 3 pups - a great dane/great pyrenees mix, a black lab, and a pitbull. I also own a small bandana business called Bellie Wags & Co. I created this business in memory of my childhood dog that passed - she was my “soul dog”.
