Victoria is supervised by Chelsea Torres M.S., LPC-A

Hi, I’m Victoria and I’m so glad you’re here and have made the decision to invest in yourself. As I continue my masters studies in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am finding my love for self-love. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients to be more self-confident, provide a trusting and supportive client-therapist relationship, and to assist them in seeing their potential they already hold. Throughout life we are dealt many different seasons, some of joy and others of sorrow. During the more difficult seasons, extra support can make our journey feel and be easier.

My counseling style is mainly compassion-focused with a few other therapeutic approaches such as solution-focused therapy, attachment-based family therapy, Gottman method couples therapy, Gestalt therapy, person-centered therapy, and play therapy.

In my free time, I enjoy teaching my 4th grade reading class, hanging around my family, spending time with my fiancé, and being at home doing absolutely nothing… because I find comfort in being a homebody.

I would love to have the opportunity to meet you here at BeneVie Counseling!
