Victoria Baum - The Relationship Changer, LMHC, LCPC, DCC

Our relationships with self, and others, are the most important elements in life. Being heard, understood, and supported, can make all the difference in the world as to how we experience life.

It is not uncommon to experience times of feeling frustrated with, or disconnected from your partner, lonely, stress, pain and sadness, insecurity, angry or stuck. Feelings are neither ‘good’ or ‘bad’, they just ‘are’. You may only feel the way you do, right now. I will help you see that these feelings are your opportunity for positive change and growth.

Together, we will figure out what is really going on and make the necessary changes, so that you, (both), will feel more positively and are better able to enjoy your life and your relationships, now and in the future.

How We Work

Through all my years in clinical practice, I have found that one theory does not fit all. Therefore, once we have met, we will determine what approach works best for you, one that will help us meet your goals, in the shortest amount of time possible. I have an integrative approach, incorporating such strength based and positive theoretical frameworks as: solution focused, emotionally focused (Couples) therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Whether it is individual counseling or couples counseling you seek, we will work together to improve how you feel and think about yourself, your relationship(s) and your life. I will help guide you to express your feelings and take the actions required to achieve the positive outcomes you seek.
