Victoria Evangelista, NCC, CCTS-I
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello welcometo GLPG. I am a compassionate, patient-centered therapist who specializes in working with individuals and couples navigating PTSD, grief and loss, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. I provide a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal at their own pace.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered therapy, with a strong emphasis on developing secure attachment, emotional safety, and healthy relationship patterns. Together, we focus not only on understanding past experiences, but also on building practical skills for meaningful and lasting change.
In sessions, I use a variety of evidence-based tools to support insight, emotional regulation, communication, and resilience. Patients often receive structured homework, reflection exercises, and practical strategies to apply between sessions, helping therapy feel relevant and effective in daily life. I also provide educational resources to promote positive, healthy thinking and increased self-awareness, empowering clients to continue their growth outside the therapy room.
Whether you are coping with trauma, loss, relationship stress, or life transitions, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, collaboration, and hope. I believe healing happens when patients feel supported, understood, and equipped with the tools they need to move forward with confidence.
