I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience who approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, and creativity. I help adults, couples, and teens identify maladaptive patterns that hinder living life in more authentic and purposeful ways. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strength-based at its core, and therapeutic techniques used in therapy stem from an integrative, mind-body approach. I’m well-versed in utilizing a broad range of empirically-informed interventions and psychological assessments to treat the myriad complexities that come with our collectively shared human experiences.

I specialize in trauma therapy modalities and have training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work (reconnecting to the body), and emotionally focused therapy.
Each of us takes a unique journey through the world, and often that path takes us in directions that can be incredibly painful. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming trying to navigate our way to a life that feels healthy and whole. We get the opportunity in therapy to process past and present traumas that may be holding us back. I consider myself a trauma therapist and I have seen that it is possible to heal the effects of trauma in both my life and the lives of my clients. I feel honored to support you in working towards the healing you hope for.

Hi, my name is Vicky Venter, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working in California. I work in a way that is client centered and eclectic depending on your needs. I have a strong inclination toward relational work because I understand we are hurt in relationships, and we HEAL in relationship. I am certified in Imago Couples Therapy as well as EFT and am currently training in Bioenergetics Analysis, a Somatic Psychotherapy. I work using an integrated approach. What that means is taking what you experience in the world and understanding exactly how it impacts you, then helping you decide what to do with that experience.

I believe that relationships are the cornerstone to mental wellness. Because of this, I see my role as a therapist as an active team member in a client’s process toward change. I hold genuine curiosity that drives me to dive deep into each client and I hold strong value for each person’s story. I have found that telling your story is often where healing begins. I strive to create a safe space that invites you to face the dark places of your story, to highlight your resilience and cultivate empowerment. I am one of few in the Central Coast who is certified in Perinatal & Postpartum Mental health.
