Welcome - I'm Victoria Bryant, and I hail from Southern California. I am a licensed psychotherapist, master teacher and healer who dedicated my life to understanding how the body and mind work together. I help others create positive change in their lives through what I know. Growing up as a musician and dancer, earning a Masters degree in Psychology, working in a private practice where 75% of my clientele was the LBGTQ population addressing their unique and various needs - especial Trans folks; add to that becoming a wife, mother, and step-mother, it has always been clear to me that through what we mostly experience as dissonance in life, the body, mind and spirit are connected through a harmony all their own. In order to treat the pain of trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction it is best to use a multi-layered approach to wellness, tailored for each individual. Over the past 25 years in private practice, I have been able to develop skilled and wise techniques that have been proven to facilitate change beyond a doubt, and my methods are uniquely my own. I am not aligned with popular theory or rhetoric because I combine my own life experience with my knowledge and I get lasting results for emotional, spiritual and physical pain. I live my approach by living consciously and in an aligned, healthy relationship to my body, and the people closest to me. I believe this is the path for the most pain free life possible. I am devoted to showing you what it takes to know and love your body, mind and spirit from the inside and out. Be Vibrant!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I work with a variety of concerns including trauma, addiction, body image and weight loss issues, relationship issues, and life purpose. I have also worked with many people recovering from mass traumas, such as school shootings. I have presented at International conferences and written 25 continuing education courses for psychotherapists. My goal is always to identify ways the practice of psychotherapy can be improved, and find new and innovative ways clinicians can help their clients. In my free time, I enjoy ultrarunning, bringing my three rescue horses up the levels in dressage and completing a long overdue manuscript. I believe in empowering my clients, treating them with respect, and honoring their life choices. I believe that the keys to improved mental health and happiness exist inside every client. My approach is existential in nature, and looks to help people find what is truly most important to them, and move in that direction. Together, I believe we can find a way to a fulfilling, rewarding, and meaningful life - regardless of what life has put you through. I look forward to working with you!
