Victoria Burgess, LPC C-DBT

My practice centers those who are queer or questioning, have experienced trauma (both single event and complex), eating disorders, body image disturbances, gender dysphoria, those who struggle with anxiety/depression, and those are trying to figure their new season of life. Therapy is a vulnerable process based upon your desires, therefore I strive for all therapeutic decisions to be done collaboratively, consent driven, and with anti-oppressive frameworks at the forefront. I believe that you have the answers within you, we just may need to do work to uncover them.
I utilize a technical eclecticism approach when working with clients, which means I employ a variety of techniques such as DBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR, and harm reduction. My counseling foundation is rooted in person centered, humanistic and feminist theories. I strive to create a collaborative and autonomous environment for my clients.
Being a person who has experienced trauma, oppression, and the subsequent mental health issues that can arise from these issues can create feelings of not being safe in the world. While I acknowledge that individual therapy cannot fix systemic issues, I hope that the space we create together can create at least one pocket of safety for you.
