"I was lucky enough to see Victoria for therapy after suffering a breakdown due to the effects of Psychosis. I engaged in CBT and EMDR to help make sense of the trauma caused. Victoria was very professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. Thanks to her I was able to get through the toughest time of my life and regain some quality of life. I cannot thank her enough and would certainly recommend her to others."
