About Victoria
Hi I’m Victoria Edgington!
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C)
EMDR Trained
Listen to me talk all things life, mom mode, and therapy with Anna Casey on the Long Distance Friends podcast…
On a personal note…
When I’m not in therapy mode, you will find me doing my best to keep up with my VERY energetic children or spending time with my amazing husband (that is, if we are actually coherent by the time we get the kids to bed).
In our past life, my husband and I loved to travel the world, have wine and sushi nights, watch Parks and Rec, and find the best coffee wherever we went. These days, there’s little less of that (except the coffee part), but we still love spending time together.
When I have some alone time, I love drinking my coffee hot, having time to reflect, walks with my sister or a friend, time to read or do a training, or watching reality tv in bed with some Thai food.
“Welcome friend, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a therapist, but I’m also a mom who has been there!”
I know what it’s like to experience debilitating anxiety.
I also know what it’s like to experience the impact of trauma throughout parenthood.
It’s not easy to feel out of control or not present when you have others depending on you.
However you are feeling today, I want to give you hope that it can get better.
You don’t have to settle for feeling panicked or constantly worried and on edge.
You don’t have to settle for feeling spaced out, detached, and irritable.
You don’t have to settle for nightmares, lack of sleep, feeling like things will never get better, or just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I can help you get unstuck by utilizing evidence-based EMDR therapy, combined with compassionate talk therapy, to help you feel present, grounded, peaceful, and happy with your life after dealing with anxiety & trauma.
These techniques have been transformational in my own life and I truly can’t wait to share them with you.

“In my office, authenticity is key. We are not perfect and we will never be perfect, so we need to just be honest.
I promise you, there is nothing you could say that will surprise me. Everyday I have women in my office telling me their darkest thoughts, feelings, and ‘not proud’ moments.
I wish I could gather you all in a room together to prove that you are way more normal than you think!
In my office, I welcome all your emotions from the tears, to the anger, to regret, to guilt, and even humor.”
