About Victoria Fahnestock, MSW, LCSWA
Victoria aims to help her patients “grow through what they go through.” She discovered her passion for hearing the experiences and stories of others while studying Psychology at NC State University. This led her to pursue an MSW degree where she was able to delve into her enthusiasm for providing therapy to individuals to foster a more positive sense of well-being. Victoria is driven by unwavering compassion and empathy as she works with her patients to build a therapeutic alliance in order to tackle identified challenges. Through building a strengths-based and individual-centered foundation in holistic therapy, Victoria believes in promoting a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment that encourages each patient to find and become the best version of themselves. She strives to select therapeutic approaches the best fit the patient’s specific needs and goals. Some of these modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-focused approaches. Victoria advocates for each patient by validating their feelings and emotions, meeting the patient where they are at in their journey, and encouraging the patient to uncover goals and solutions based on their individual needs and strengths.

Victoria is very attentive to my son and his needs, she always supports him, listens to him, and offers new techniques to assist him. After every session she finds time to listen to me (his mom) as well. She treats us with a lot of respect and warmth, and we are very great full to her.

I think that I ve realized that my son is in the right direction when I saw the support and the judgment free attitude that he got from Ms. Victoria. I feel like my son and I just started a long road to recovery, but I know that that is the right way!
