Getting to know Dr. Victoria Simon

As a therapist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder and the related impacts of trauma including chronic anxiety, depression and challenges with focus, attention and healthy attachment. I understand that life can feel overwhelming as past traumas impact your present.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach combines Somatic Experiencing with Trauma Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, providing a safe space for you to explore and heal. These evidence-based and Mindfulness centered models will build on your strength, wisdom and experience while supporting your journey toward increased resilience and empowerment. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from the impacts of trauma and ensuring that each client receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique experiences. Licensed in California, Oregon & Florida

What is your typical process for working with clients?

What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)? SE is a powerful method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. SE therapy does not require the person to re-tell or re-live traumatic events. Instead, it offers a gentle way for the body to resolve its instinctual self-protective responses. This resets the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience, and increases vitality.
