Getting to know Victor Bloomberg
Hello, I am Victor Bloomberg, EdD, LCSW, and I have been a licensed therapist since 1991. I earned my EdD in Higher Education and Social Change from the Western Institute for Social Research. I use a tried-and-true way: Be caring and earn trust; pay attention and listen; and confirm understanding before giving feedback. My specialties are grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
My approach
Counseling supports your efforts to solve a problem, big or small. But it is not for advice. Why not? Because the goal is to recognize your strengths, clarify options, and make a plan. Counseling provides a safe space to talk about things that matter, to resolve a specific situation. Psychotherapy, like counseling, is grounded in safety, trust, empathy, and respect. The focus of psychotherapy is different. There are patterns rooted in the past. There are different kinds of psychotherapy. Each focuses on issues that reappear. It is like being on an unwanted merry-go-round. Broadly speaking, psychotherapy that focuses on the individual can be sorted into three groups: psychodynamic, relational, and cognitive-behavioral. Some emphasize community, such as feminist, intersectional, and narrative. All of these are forms of talk therapy, and each can use art, movement, meditation, and so on. I tailor counseling and psychotherapy to you.
My focus
I work with adults who are facing loss, sadness, worries, big changes in life, and relationship issues. Some are new to counseling and psychotherapy. Others have learned from prior therapists and have decided some more will help. Sometimes people use words to confuse or manipulate, and other times words heal or liberate. Sometimes fancy words cover up a lack of knowledge, understanding, or skill. Other times jargon is for members of a club, and outsiders are mystified by it (psycho-babble is like that). I learn by listening to you. I support your healing by caring. I use words that you understand. This is my purpose, my joy.
