Victoria Nachman, M.Ed., PLPC
(she/her)
Victoria brings a holistic, somatic approach to her clinical work. She uses EMDR, mindfulness, and movement to help clients find relief and work toward their therapy goals. She believes the mind-body connection is key to understanding how we regulate emotions and respond to stress and trauma, and she aims to help clients access their innate capacity for healing.
She integrates this approach with psychodynamic therapy, drawing on the work of theorists such as Jung and Freud, who explored the unconscious inner world. In collaboration with clients, she examines how early childhood experiences, family and relationship dynamics, and inner drives and conflicts may contribute to patterns that persist today. As clients gain insight and self-knowledge, meaningful change and relief can follow.
