Victoria Strange

Victoria Strange is a licensed professional counselor passionate about working with people who want to improve the relationships they have with themselves and others. She works with neurodiverse Gen Z, Millennial, and Gen X humans who struggle with anxiety, stress, self-acceptance, and balance, while learning to adult through life’s transitions. Through her training in Sue Johnson’s Emotion-Focused Therapy, her training in neuroscience-based therapies like neurofeedback and biofeedback, and her education in gender studies, parenting and relationships, her trauma-informed lens allows her to see the patterns of people and work alongside her clients to grow their own self-awareness, connection with themselves and cultivate the healthy relationships they so desire. She helps adulting humans lessen the load of perfectionism, imposter syndrome and burnout so they can start feeling confident in their intentions, decisions and ultimately their pursuit towards their own values and ideas of life.

Values and Philosophy:

• I believe through secure conversation, collaboration, and connection, we can feel empowered towards growth. Through reciprocity we learn. 
• I believe in creating a life that promotes well-being and balance so we can connect with our internal wisdom and intuition, and show up as our most authentic self. 
• I believe we deserve support through each stage of life to develop our autonomy, independence, resourcefulness,  self–advocacy, and intentionality.
• I believe access to reliable information and resources allows us to think strategically about our goals and gives way to opportunities to make strong decisions for ourselves, our families and our futures.  
• I believe in systemic change and that each part of our internal and external lives is interconnected. We all play a role in the system we live in and the change we are capable of creating as individuals and as a whole.
• I believe in the integration of holistic healing and western medical interventions. We deserve a system that supports all strategies for wellness, and providers who give all the resources for our options for change. 
• ​I affirm and celebrate neurodiversity, LGBTQ, and BIPOC communities. I welcome all gender identities and all cultures.
