My name is Victoria Strange and I am a therapist in Houston, Texas (near the Cypress, Texas area). I offer counseling and Neurofeedback services for a variety of issues.

Education, Training, and Modalities

I received my Master’s degree in Community Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Sam Houston State University and my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies from Stephen F. Austin State University. I am licensed by the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I was trained at the Houston Galveston Institute in Collaborative practices. Collaborative therapy focuses on the value of the conversation as a tool for growth and understanding. As well, I incorporate a range of other modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic perspectives, Bowenian and Emotion Focused Therapy perspective, and more. As well, I have trained and have been mentored for 6 years in neurofeedback and biofeedback practices including courses in neuroanatomy and physiology. I am working towards certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback practices. Mentorship and certification in neurofeedback/biofeedback are not required but rather are a preferred practice in this industry.

Previous Work Experience

I previously worked at an out-patient hospital working with clients experiencing persistent mental health issues, including addiction, chronic anxiety and depression, panic attack disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, developmental trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more. I have also volunteered at Houston Area Community Center working with women who were overcoming addiction and substance abuse. I’ve worked in my own private practice for 4 years in the Cypress, Texas area and 6 years total in a private practice setting. I have extensive training in both psychotherapy and neurofeedback modalities for treating and managing symptoms associated with a broad range of diagnoses and symptoms.

Specialties

My specialties included working with individuals in a neurofeedback and/or psychotherapy capacity who are seeking to improve relationships in their lives such as parent/child relationships with both adult children and children under the age of 18 years old, spouses or partners seeking to strengthen their relationship, partners coping with a someone in their lives who has been diagnosed with or exhibits signs of borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder or has experienced some type of trauma. I also enjoy working with clients recovering from the loss of someone in their lives through divorce/separation, the passing of a loved one (person or pet), or the end of a significant relationship in their life.

My specialties also include working with clients from a neurofeedback and/or psychotherapy perspective who have experienced trauma of any kind, and who are experiencing chronic depression and anxiety issues as well as bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I also specialize in working with clients experiencing symptoms of attention and focus issues. For all of the above issues, I also enjoy working with parents to help them understand their adult child or child under 18 years old’s experience and point of view, as well as helping parents cope and adjust their parenting strategies to help support their child, themselves, their marriage/relationship/domestic partnership and their family as a whole.

My Vow to You

I seek to understand my client’s points of view and enjoy seeing the shifts they are able to make in their lives through the multitude of techniques and strategies implemented in their sessions. As well, I enjoy learning from my client’s lives and experiences. I believe the counseling relationship is a parallel dynamic, not a hierarchical dynamic. I see my client’s as the expert in their own lives and their own thoughts and feelings. My role in the relationship is to facilitate inspiration, guidance, insight, and give tools and strategies so the client can choose what is best for them in order to make shifts and changes in their lives.

My role is to empower you to make shifts in your life and to give you the tools and strategies to overcome your life’s struggles.
