I have over 16 years of combined therapy experience at the professional level and believe in the profession that I am licensed in which is social work. I believe in a client-centered perspective and derive my approaches from a variety of treatment modalities. Cognitive behavioral is a significant framework that I utilize but I believe that other approaches are also effective as sessions need to be tailored to the unique needs of the individual or clientele being served. I believe in true empathy, truly trying to understand my clients' perspectives and their insight into their lives. Each person I have done therapy with over the years and will be doing therapy with has inherent worth, dignity and I believe in their abilities to improve in areas of self-direction and self-efficacy. Therapy is all about the client who is reading this right now, the therapist is simply a conduit to improve a person's ability to reorganize their life, to improve their internal locus of control, to help a client engage in goal-oriented behavior and be conscientious of the choices one is making in life on a regular basis. Cognitive behavioral methods consider irrational thought paradigms and help to counteract these cognitions or thoughts with more rational, counterbalancing, self-esteem enhancing thoughts and help a person to see the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Welcome - I’m Victoria Bryant, and I hail from Southern California. I am a licensed psychotherapist, master teacher and healer who dedicated my life to understanding how the body and mind work together. I help others create positive change in their lives through what I know. Growing up as a musician and dancer, earning a Masters degree in Psychology, working in a private practice where 75% of my clientele was the LBGTQ population addressing their unique and various needs - especial Trans folks; add to that becoming a wife, mother, and step-mother, it has always been clear to me that through what we mostly experience as dissonance in life, the body, mind and spirit are connected through a harmony all their own. In order to treat the pain of trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction… it is best to use a multi-layered approach to wellness, tailored for each individual. Over the past 25 years in private practice, I have been able to develop skilled and wise techniques that have been proven to facilitate change beyond a doubt, and my methods are uniquely my own. I am not aligned with popular theory or rhetoric because I combine my own life experience with my knowledge and I get lasting results for emotional, spiritual and physical pain. I live my approach by living consciously and in an aligned, healthy relationship to my body, and the people closest to me. I believe this is the path for the most pain free life possible. I am devoted to showing you what it takes to know and love your body, mind and spirit from the inside and out. Be Vibrant!

Midwest trained, and licensed in California & Washington, I have spent 50 years in the field of counseling & supervisory education. Now, in retirement, I offer a limited number of consultations. Still, I want to continue supporting people who are actively engaged in improving their relationships & addressing life changes. My style is interactive with a bit of humor; & I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, nor do I encourage diagnostic ones. (I find them misused & often reductionistic, which is not helpful.) It takes courage to seek joy in life and step forward into change. And if you are wanting to do that, I am very glad to facilitate your efforts. PS I do not keep notes; so what is said is completely confidential. My intake sessions (at just 20-30 minutes) are for the purpose of checking mutual chemistry & our ability to work well together. By letting me know immediately if you might prefer a different therapist, I can help make that happen sooner than later; and session success has a lot to do with ease of communication, so do be picky. Again, I have only limited session time-slots. All are midday, on Tuesdays or Thursdays, & you will need to choose the same hour each week, to avoid booking someone else’s session time. Booking your time, 3 sessions forward will prevent that from happening. [PS: Generally, ‘short term' counseling is roughly 12 sessions, affording time to make good insights & progress.] I invite your questions, going forward. And my best wishes on your personal growth path. I look forward to meeting you!
