So far I've only had two sessions with Victoria and I can already feel the improvement that is being made within myself. She is very receptive and understanding of what I bring to therapy and I feel confident expressing myself with her. She is a great match.

More about Victoria

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 14 years of experience working as a therapist and care manager. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, life changes and career challenges. I also helped many young adults with navigating the specific challenges faced when graduating from college, finding a job and navigating the next phase of their lives.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating every one with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person centered and solution focused modalities. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Victoria is great at understanding where I am coming from and gives me support where I need it. I feel as if she really understands me when we speak and gives great advice to help me navigate tough situations that I am facing.

I have been working with Victoria Hammer for a month now and she very relatable and understanding. She is always on time to our weekly meets and responds back to my questions I occasionally have during the week. I am realizing that therapy is not an over night miracle and if you go in with that thinking, I believe you will enjoy this experience.
