More About Victoria (Vickie) Zwiefelhofer
Clinical Interests:
Depression, Anxiety, Trauma and Complex Trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, individuals with multiple diagnoses, couples therapy, and group therapy. Adolescents 14 years and up.
Clinical Approach:
My clinical approach is integrative and collaborative as all people are different. Mindfulness is at the core of all approaches I utilize in practice. I utilize Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients build a base of skills to improve their quality of life including decreasing unhealthy coping mechanisms and building healthier relationships. I work with a variety of techniques with individuals who struggle with PTSD or Complex PTSD including Self-Compassion, Prolonged Exposure, and Somatic therapies. I provide tools for clients to practice in between sessions to help them progress toward their individual goals.
Hobbies:
I enjoy spending time with my partner outdoors, fishing and boating and taking the motorcycle out for a ride. I love hanging out with my children and grandchildren and get to attend lots of baseball and hockey games to cheer them on. I enjoy cooking and baking for my family. I have been learning some woodworking techniques and have been refurbishing furniture. We also have three dogs and one cat who keep us very busy!
