I go by Vicky! I have been doing therapy since 2014 and became a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in 2017. Becoming a therapist has been a lifelong journey and I truly believe it is my calling in life. There is no higher privilege or honor than to be able to hold space for people looking to heal from their wounds, and I hold the highest respect for every client who seeks treatment. I believe that each person holds their own answers to their healing journey and my role is to be a loving guide and companion along the way. No matter what you're coming in for, we can and will get you relief and return you to the best version of yourself.

I'm a therapist who believes real change starts with feeling truly heard. I specialize in working with motivated clients who are ready to take action and move forward in their lives, rather than staying stuck. If you want to feel more in control of your emotions, your choices, and your future, I offer a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you get there. Together, we will make sense of what you are going through and find ways to help you feel more grounded and confident as quickly as possible. My goal is to help you build on the strengths you already have, even if you don't see them just yet.

Hi, I'm Travis Buchanan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC). I know that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest steps a person takes, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate life's challenges.

Over the years, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of struggles, including relationship difficulties, addiction and recovery, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, and the impact of unhealthy or abusive relationships. My experience has taught me that while our challenges may shape us, they do not define us.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique story. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood, gain insight, and discover new ways of moving forward.

Drawing from Adlerian principles and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, strengthen their relationships, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, struggling with addiction, or simply seeking a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, therapy can provide a path toward a healthier and more meaningful life.

My goal is to help you not only overcome obstacles but also build the confidence, connection, and sense of direction needed to thrive. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.
