Victoria Durant, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Victoria!

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and insight. My work focuses on helping you separate who you think you 'should' be from who you actually are, creating space for authentic growth and meaningful change.

My focus

I work with individuals across ages and backgrounds, specializing in stress, sexual addiction, self-esteem, relationship issues, OCD, life transitions, divorce, depression, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, anxiety, anger management, substance use, codependency, men's issues, and personality disorders.

My approach

My therapeutic approach focuses on helping clients separate who they think they 'should' be from who they actually are. I utilize Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We collaborate to cultivate an integrated acceptance of self while promoting a rich environment for change to occur.

My communication style

I aim to identify clients' needs and further develop their communication skills. I pay attention to the moment-to-moment experiences of the mind and body and aspire to integrate them for overall well-being. Great therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and curiosity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have experience working in elementary and high school settings, residential drug treatment, and mental health partial hospitalization programs. Additionally, I am well-versed in 12-step addiction models.

My goals for you

I seek to find strategies for clients to cultivate more meaningful connections, which require vulnerability and intimacy. My goal is to help you develop an integrated acceptance of self while promoting an environment conducive to positive change.

In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll listen carefully to understand your unique experiences and concerns. Together, we'll begin building a collaborative relationship where you feel safe to share openly and start identifying pathways toward your goals.
