Thank you for reviewing my profile and considering seeking guidance, to maneuver your way
through the life challenges you are facing. It is of utmost importance that the therapist you

judgment or negative consequences. If you decide to choose me as your therapist, I can assure

University of Southern California in 2012. I have been providing individual and couples therapy,
through out patient settings, and through Telecounseling, since 2015. Previous to 2015, I

My therapeutic style is quite eclectic and includes a variety of modalities to address mental
health challenges such as; anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, personality
disorders, phobias, chronic illness, developing skills to improve ways of communicating,
caregiver stress and assisting with coping strategies to reduce life stressors and improve overall

Sometimes People Need Help…
Changes in life are always occurring but sometimes change can make us feel overwhelmed and
unable to function the way we would like to.
Sometimes change is unexpected and can negatively effect our ability to function in our job,
carry out daily routines or manage our personal affairs.
Sometimes medical challenges with ourselves and/or with others can require unexpected changes
in our lifestyle.
Sometimes conflict with spouses, significant others, family members, friends, or co-workers can
cause unwanted or unmanageable feelings and emotions.
Sometimes life challenges can make us question our self-worth or have a negative impact on
how we feel about life.
Sometimes difficulties in our life contribute to the development of thoughts, behaviors and habits
that are not healthy for us.
Professional help can bring awareness to what is not working in our lives and assist in
developing healthier ways of thinking, doing and behaving.
Sometimes we feel totally alone and just can’t seem to find the answer or solution we need to
feel better on our own…
Sometimes We Just Need Help
Therapy provides hope and can ease the difficulties that often present themselves as we journey
through life. I look forward to partnering with you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Victoria has helped changed my life. 10/10
Victoria is a wonderful therapist. She is understanding, kind, and respectful (without sugar coating the situation), and is able to approach with a variety of solutions to fit you as an individual. I trust her expertise and would highly recommend her. Thank you for all that you do!
Victoria has been incredibly helpful to me over the years as I've worked through my anxiety and managing life events. I have learned so much and try to practice her tips and tricks on a regular basis. She does a great job encouraging me to think in different ways and brings an honest, logical, but still kind expertise to the table. I'd definitely recommend her to others looking for some support and self improvement!
Victoria is a great therapist. She is empathetic and offers excellent take away tools and strategies to think about and process difficult emotions. I am working through my childhood traumas which have caused me to catastrophize in my daily life. It is a difficult topic to work through but she is a kind and patient listener and offers some important insights which are helping me to make some breakthroughs. It is wonderful having a safe place to do this work.
Victoria is a compassionate, experienced and skilled therapist that helps guide you in identifying your role in what is concerning you and gives you useful tools to help you change your behavior. I highly recommend her.
Victoria is a wonderful therapist and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. We made goals, set plans, and then was gently directed towards them. 100% recommend, and if I return to therapy later I will be requesting her.
Professional, clear and concise, I am so pleased I was paired with Victoria. I feel like she "gets" me
Victoria listens and actively tries to assist me with my issues. She is great at building confidence in me.
Loved meeting with Victoria she was a great help at the time I needed it thank you again for everything!!!
Working with Victoria haltom she has been a great therapist. She was very knowledgeable of what she offers.
She is wonderful.
My sessions with her are always exactly what I need in that moment.
Victoria is very supportive! I’ve had set backs which is Normal. Most therapists have scolded me for “not doing the work.” Not her! She gets the the bottom as to why I had a set back, and had made me hit many of my goals! She even had me cleaning out my spare bedroom!
Victoria is kind, compassionate, empathetic, accommodating, and respectful. We've developed a strong rapport to address previous traumas and the manners in which my daily life is currently impacted, as well as techniques in which I can recognize these habits and how to avoid placing blame on myself. Additionally, as new instances of concern arise, Victoria is willing to address these topics in a professional manner that explains best practices to address presented concerns, but also mitigate potential reoccurrences. I look forward to talking to Victoria every week - even if nothing is particularly troublesome or bothering me. look forward to sharing triumphs, successes, and upcoming plans and aspirations with Victoria.
While I have been slow in my responses due to real life circumstances, Victoria has helped me a lot in seeing various aspects of my life for what they are, and how to overcome obstacles. I am grateful for her presence in these troubling times I've gone through.
Victoria has been a godsend for me. She is a great listener, and always is able to provide a different perspective. She doesn’t quickly pass over issues but instead wants to work through them until I feel heard and improved. She is compassionate and caring but still able to provide tough feedback in a profound and empathetic way. Her wise-words and quick wit make therapy enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Victoria was great. Listened while i vented my issues and concerns and gave good advice ! i will be back!
She is down to earth no bs with her. I do like her
Victoria has been extremely helpful, not only in helping me deal the issues that brought me to therapy, but in helping me truly find the roots of those issues and to face the real problems head on.
Although I haven’t had much experience with her therapy yet, V. Hal Tom has been so attentive already. She is very responsive to my messages. I feel confident that I will have success under her care.
Victoria is experienced, sharp, knowledgeable, understanding, and practical. I am grateful she has been working with me.
She’s wonderful! I would recommend her to any friends or family. I just started but can tell it’s helping already
Victoria is amazing. This was my first time going to therapy and she is the best. She listens so well, asks the best questions and truly wants the best for you. I really enjoy our sessions every week!!
A very wonderful experience working with Victoria. Would high recommend!
She is fabulous
Victoria is very easy to talk to and asks very good questions and provides good guidance and perspective. I felt lighter leaving the sessions with her - not even realizing I felt burdened. I also appreciated how she always returned to the goals I set out in the beginning. This was my first therapy experience and I’m grateful to have had it with Victoria.
Thoughtful. Intelligent. Experienced. Compassionate. Professional. Trustworthy.
Victoria made me express what I have held in for so long and asked the tough questions. She helped me understand my past and put pieces together. She helped me over a barrier that had been holding me back to a better life.
She is amazing. Very smart and knows her stuff. She is patient with me and so supportive.
Victoria is a great counselor. I enjoyed working with her and have learned more about myself.
In three weeks I see so much disgust in who I was. Just starting to actually feel like I am capable of adding something instead of being the reason things end. I believe she and myself we’re destined because everything she heard she can take it and open my eyes to the truth and most important the perception of others towards me. Maybe I can be that person that someone would choose to talk to instead of avoiding. My wife smiles all the time now. I don’t get upset with my dogs barking because they are happy to see me. Overall she is amazing Thankyou and your company for extending me such a lifeline. Happiness is around the corner
Victoria is so understanding and always responds super quick! I look forward to having chats with her because she really helps.
Victoria is very kind and takes the time to actually listen and understand to what I’m feeling and have to say. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
