Greetings; My name is Victoria M. Hopkins, MSSA, LISW-S. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio where I received my bachelor's degree in social work at Ursuline College and then my master's degree in social work at Case Western Reserve. I also have a clinical license in Substance Use Disorder. I have over 20 years of experience with mental health and substance abuse. My invaluable mentors encouraged me to seek therapy so that I will be able to understand the feelings many clients feel when they are asked to share their life experiences with a stranger. I understand how much faith and courage it takes to seek help, which adds to my compassion and sincere willingness to help you. My experience has taught me to ask you what happened instead of what's wrong. My various therapy styles include: Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Couples Therapy and Integrated Trauma Treatment. The past 10 years have afforded me the privilege of working with veterans who have suffered with chronic homelessness as a result of untreated substance use and/or mental health issues like PTSD. I understand how difficult it is to begin the process, so let me help you, support you, and get you back on the road of living and enjoying life.

Life is not easy and if you've lived on Earth, that is a shared experience. It typically doesn't matter the background either, life can get tight and things go incredibly sideways very quickly. Things hurt, things don't make sense, and sometimes it's deep within us. That is where therapy is a critical solution and support. As a therapist, it brings me great joy to slowly build rapport to understand what needs to be heard and also see what is not being said. Therapy also allows me to use my natural ability to join, challenge, and teach, skills that make me who I am, the best fit for you. My undergrad education is in education and I do love to teach. I am a man of faith and that allows me to see and know the best in people regardless of circumstance, appearance, or other perceived barriers. I am a husband (of 20 years) and a father so I know family life and I embrace the strength and struggle of family. I subscribe to CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused modalities. I would love to join you on your journey to wellness.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker Therapist in the state of Ohio. I work with adults who are seeking help when feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just “off” in life and they know something is wrong but can’t quite figure out what it is. Often, along with the general feeling of “off” come complaints such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, substance abuse and questions of purpose. I aim to help you identify where, and how, the sense of “off” you feel may have started by exploring your past experiences and the impact they had on you. We look at your childhood history to find difficulties or trauma that wounded you and may still be affecting your life today. We then take action to heal the wounds with techniques and exercises to help you gain a true self-awareness and self-trust that will lead to the “realness” and authenticity in your life that is currently missing. Through compassion, empathy, and respect for your unique journey, I offer you a safe and supportive space to explore your matters. My approach is patient, observant, inquiring, logical, gentle, non-directive, collaborative and always non-judgmental. We form a partnership that has the goal of uncovering the answers you are seeking so you arrive at genuine peace of mind. It’s a path to heal your wounds, mend your spirit and nurture the strength to build your life into one that energizes you, fulfills you and authentically expresses the best of who you are. I look forward to meeting you.
