Getting to know Victoria Magruder

Hi there, I'm Victoria! Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m passionate about helping people feel more confident, balanced, and empowered in their everyday lives. In my practice, I bring a mix of warmth, encouragement, and practical tools so we can tackle challenges together and celebrate growth along the way. My approach My approach is to provide a safe space to navigate life transitions, improve coping skills, and openly express those bottled-up thoughts and emotions without judgment. I believe in advocating for my clients while also empowering them to become their own advocates. I incorporate a variety of evidence-based treatments: CBT (the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (using goals and strengths as a focus), and Person-Centered (client empowerment and self-determination). We will collaborate to create your goals and expectations for therapy. My focus I offer a variety of support for children, teens, adults (specifically new moms) who are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and ADHD. Many of my clients are high-achieving but feel weighed down by pressure, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I also enjoy working with families to strengthen communication and coping skills. This extends to new moms adjusting to the challenges of motherhood. My communication style I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. In sessions, I balance active listening with gentle guidance, encouragement, and practical strategies, so clients feel both heard and equipped to take steps toward positive change.
