Being a human can be hard sometimes. Being overwhelmed and exhausted are normal feelings of being a human. I want to support you through these overwhelming times so you feel less alone. I want to be someone in your corner supporting you! I am Victoria McKnight, a second-year MSW student at Binghamton University and I went into the profession of Social Work to support people in life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping people reach their goals one step at a time!
During our sessions together we will focus on what it is that you need that day. We will work together to understand how your thoughts are impacting your feelings and how those feelings can ultimately impact your behavior. We will be working towards improving your skills and tools to help you combat life’s challenges. We will focus on tools and techniques you can practice in your life that will help you with stress, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings. Again I will use a person-centered approach allowing our sessions to be altered to what you need and what works best for you!
My therapeutic approach entails a core belief in a strengths-based approach. I believe that each person has strengths that they can tap into, to achieve their therapeutic goals. I also incorporate trauma-informed care as this modality is a broad support approach to how trauma has impacted a person. I always strive to provide clients with a safe, supportive environment in which they can feel seen, heard, and supported. You are the expert in your own life, in your journey and I will do my best to ensure that I support you in this journey.
My overall intention is to allow you to feel comfortable in the space we create together. Whatever is going on in your life I want you to be able to bring that to our sessions where we can talk openly about it. I always want you to feel supported and connected to resources surrounding you that you can turn to for support. As I continue my journey as a social worker I hope to be someone who people can look back on their time with and say she provided me with a safe space to work through this crazy journey we call life together.
