Victoria Peña
Hi! I'm Victoria and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I've been practicing for about seven years now and I love working with adults who are looking to feel better about themselves and who they are as a parent.
As a mama myself, I can relate first hand to the experiences of motherhood and want to serve others who also have a desire to break unwanted generational habits and step confidently into your own modern parenting path.
I take an energetic approach to figure out which method works for each individual whether that's quick-paced and driven or a more delicate and deep-rooted focus. The goal is always to help my client's achieve the outcome they set out to achieve and maybe gain even more than expected.
First session
In our first session, we'll cover the basics in what to expect from our therapeutic journey and get a brief but comprehensive backround on your life story - to help me get to know you. It's also our chance to answer all your questions and work together to build a plan tailored exactly to your needs, preferences, and goals.
Strengths
I've spent the past two years developing my approach to help mama's build strong, loving bonds with their children so they can raise them up to be happy and resilient adults. As a mama myself, I can relate first hand to the experiences of motherhood and want to serve others who also have a desire to break unwanted generational habits and step confidently into your own modern parenting path.
Ideal clients
I'm here to serve women with young kids who are feeling tired of the exhaustion and emptiness they've become so good (or maybe not so good) at hiding. My clients love to feel needed and watching their little ones grow and thrive but also want to feel like they can thrive without having to sacrifice their own joys in life.
Treatment methods
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
I focus on helping my clients build the skills which help strengthen and nurture the bond they desire to have with their children.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is treatment method that's proven to show the best therapeutic results for the treatment of anxiety.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
This method I always prefer to use when I first start with any new client so we can focus on building therapeutic trust and rapport - ensuring a comfortable and strong foundation for the therapy alliance.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy is a great tool to not only use in therapy but in everyday life as it's also proven to help significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and stress as well as improve focus and sleep quality.
Positive Psychology
This method is used as a support to CBT as it helps to restructure our automatic negative patterns of thought and replace them with thoughts that help initiate the change we desire.
