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.

Victoria is likely a source of inspiration and comfort to everyone she meets. She is as calm as she is wise. She doesn't judge. She has experience and it shows. I love her very direct, but polite manner and her sense of humor is on point. She likes to talk, but it's not for her; she offers herself as a steadfast wall off which one can bounce ideas and figure out together, how best to help oneself. Victoria, thank you.

Victoria has been wonderful! I love how honest and forward she is. She understands my point of view but also let’s me know if I’m dwelling too long on something. She has helped me think in different ways and has helped me through my crazy thoughts. I’m learning how to be my own person again.

In just 3 short months we worked through seven topics that I have been struggling through for a decade. I have had the more progress and success with Victoria than any other of my previous therapists. She meets me where I’m at, and encourages me to take real action. She takes the time to fully understand my situation, and what I’m comfortable with. 10/10 would recommend

I absolutely love the way she communicates. She has told me something she believes in several times. She didn’t push for me to understand. But as sessions kept going, I was able to understand what she meant they that statement. She asked me a question that I felt my answer was completely a little effed up. But she understood it. I thank her for being able to understand that and not being judgey.

Victoria is great. She isn't available for video chat as often as I'd like, but she makes up with it by being available to text at almost any time. She is understanding and listens to my issues, offers advice if I ask, and looks out for my needs.
