It’s essential clients are seen for who they are and given tools that resonate with them to do the work that therapy requires. This means merging our body and mind, our values and actions, and our personhood with our community. I support clients with these meaningful tools and empower them through life's transitions by increasing insight and skill building. One such tool is using Tarot, which can provide perspective or be used as a powerful projective tool regardless of spiritual affiliation. My ultimate goal is to integrate Eastern and Western ideologies into my practice to provide effective personalized mental health care for all.

Our brains did not evolve to live the kind of life that many modern humans are living, and it shows. From 40 hour work weeks, to the attention economy, to the way we've been disconnected from our bodies and from nature, many find themselves struggling to find contentment, purpose, and community. Confounding variables such as neurodivergence or childhood trauma can further complicate and confuse. Together we can explore the impact of living under systems that defy our very nature and build the self knowledge, connection, and skills needed to live a life that works for you.

Getting here was probably hard but I’m glad you made it. Something isn’t going the way you would like it to (or maybe something just feels off) and you have made the decision to try to get to the bottom of it. I have been working with children, adolescents, families, and individuals for over 20 years in a variety of settings. Whether it’s stress from work or relationships, anxiety, depression, a traumatic life event, or issues with alcohol or drugs we can work through it together.

I work as a couples, family, and individual therapist. My clients are often people in relationships, families, or collectives who find themselves inside negative patterns and wish to break out. The goal is to help people regain their power and confidence in an alienating world. I help people work through issues that may include gender identity, intergenerational trauma, and sexual challenges. I also work with people who are facing systemic conflicts such as transphobia, fatphobia, racism, and disability. I am a Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT.

"Choosing to use therapy as a support is a personal decision. Sometimes people believe they have an idea of what therapy is all about and others are not sure what to expect. The truth is, therapy can be a number of things from a place to decompress, a place to address personal issues/struggles, a place to learn new skills to include in your lifestyle, etc. What your therapeutic experience will be shall be defined by you, your therapist and what you have gained from therapy. Finding the right therapist you feel comfortable with is essential to this process.

I believe that how comfortable someone feels with their therapist is the key to a positive treatment outcome. If you can’t speak freely about everything (EVERYthing) with your therapist, the real work of therapy can't occur. I will work alongside you - to guide you, and to extract the parts of you that are capable of change. That’s why I love this work - every person who comes to me absolutely has the capacity to evolve and change for the happier. And I am the one who gets to help guide them there. (AS OF June 2024: Limited virtual & in-person availability; NO after-school availability at this time.)

Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Has your alcohol or drug use become more of a problem then an escape? You may find yourself here because you no longer feel in control. You may feel trapped in the cycle of drinking or using. Perhaps you have tried to stop on your own. Relief is possible, but often it requires support from someone who understands addiction. Let's get to the root of the problem. Therapy can help you figure out your "why". Together, we can identify healthy ways to cope. We can clarify your purpose and get you back to a life that isn't dictated by the urge to drink or use drugs.

Hi- I'm Victoria Kellman. Maybe typical, office based therapy just didn't work for you. Maybe you feel more comfortable with animals. Maybe it's easier to talk about hard things when you're outside and moving your body. Maybe you're a "horse girl" struggling with the dynamics of the horse world. I welcome all people, from all walks of life. I welcome all diagnoses and life challenges including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders. My ideal client is the "difficult" teen or young adult, who's struggling to understand life.

Life is challenging - full of joys,sorrows and everything in between. Sometimes, the challenges seem too daunting or affect more than one area of life - relationships, career, physical and emotional health. When this occurs one can feel stuck, unclear, anxious. It helps to have a place to talk, to process and then be able to move forward. As a licensed mental health counselor with a holistic orientation to therapy I assist individuals and couples to do just that. Anxiety, depression, chronic physical/emotional conditions, stress management, work/life balance, marital stressors - communication, finances, parenting - are areas to be explored.
