Beyond the Lamppost
Inspired by the timeless imagery of my favorite story, The Chronicles of Narnia, the lamppost symbolizes a gateway to courage, adventure, and self-discovery. At Beyond the Lamppost Counseling, this imagery represents the journey we embark on together - stepping out of the shadows and into a space of transformation and healing.
Through the counseling process, we’ll uncover your inner strength, embrace meaningful change, and rediscover the light within. Just as the lamppost illuminated the way to a new world, I hope to guide you toward clarity, purpose, and a renewed sense of peace and hope.
Your story matters - let’s begin writing your next chapter together.
Hello, my name is Victoria.
It is nice to meet you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), but more importantly, someone who cares about helping people find their way through life’s challenges.
Originally from Georgia, I made the move to plant roots in Arizona and build a life filled with new opportunities and connections. Transitioning to a new place taught me just how challenging and rewarding change can be - and how important it is to have support along the way.
In my practice, Beyond the Lamppost, I’m passionate about what I do because I’ve seen how powerful therapy can be. It is a space where you can get to know yourself deeper, build tools to handle life’s challenges, and find new meaning and direction in a way that feels right to you.
Services
Individual Counseling
I provide personalized, one-on-one counseling sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, or difficulty managing your emotions, I offer a safe, supportive space for you to explore your inner word and find relief. I utilize various approaches including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Adaptive Information Processing techniques to help you better understand, manage, and value your mind and body.
EMDR Counseling
I am trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. EMDR works by addressing the root causes of distress, enabling you to reprocess difficult memories and reduce their emotional impact. This therapeutic approach helps restore balance, build resilience, and create a path toward healing.
Faith-Based Counseling
At your request, I offer Christian faith-based counseling. My approach integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices to address emotional, mental, and relational problems. I strive to create a safe and hopeful space for growth and healing of individuals from all religious and spiritual backgrounds.
