Hello, my name is Victoria Dorsey Drewy. I view counseling as a collaborative process between therapist and client. The client is the expert. The therapist assists the client in finding solutions to presenting problems, provides suggestions, and invites alternative and challenging perspectives. For many years, I knew I wanted to facilitate a collaborative process to assist individuals & families experience needed and desired change and growth. Counseling aids the healing of mental and emotional issues. Building trust and rapport is important in the therapeutic relationship. Clients that are committed to the process of therapy experience a great deal of progress.
My specialty is working with couples and individuals as well as adolescents. I operate primarily from a Family Systems & Solutions-focused perspective. I Graduated from UT Austin in 1996. I obtained a Masters in Counseling in November 2005 from The Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest. I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Pastoral Care & Counseling.
My style is interpersonal, direct, honest, & genuine. I provide specific examples and analogies that invite clients to entertain a perspective that is different from their own. I exemplify strengths and refute character flaws from becoming global meanings that block growth and progress in life.
