Getting to know Victoria Vorpagel

Many people tell me that they have tried a lot of therapists before finding me. I believe this is because, in addition to being warm, friendly, and personable is readily apparent to clients that I bring a wealth of both personal and professional experience and that I "walk the walk." Clients feel seen, held, and understood, and this provides a safe and nurturing space in which clients can uncover and ultimately heal. My approach My approach is eclectic but leans on relational, psychodynamic, attachment theory, and behavioral, in which I utilize skill-building with DBT and CBT. Most importantly, I LISTEN to what my client needs and wants in their therapy experience. My focus I have been in the mental health field for 27 years. This was my second career- one that I chose after the one that I "fell into" when I needed to just make money to raise my daughter. I am passionate about doing this work because, without having done it myself, who knows what my life would have been? I have worked in practically every type of environment with multiple populations and find that I can easily build rapport with just about anyone. Sometimes the desire to do the hard work grows... as one begins to see the benefit and uncovers what they didn't even know was there. I am willing to work with anyone who just wants to try, and we can build hope together! My communication style I listen closely and follow you. I tend to be fairly direct also, and participate in the therapy process. Because of all of my experience, especially in the addiction field, I do tend to be pretty directive once I have a sense of your goals. My style is collaborative, reflecting my belief that we do this work together, and I encourage you to practice behaviors in therapy that will help you with your relationships outside of therapy.
