Welcome! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals find healing through a well-rounded approach to mental wellness. True healing comes from caring for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can be listened to, valued, and empowered to take an active role in your mental health journey. I have years of experience caring for individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, and other complex mental health conditions. Mental health is more than managing symptoms. Mental well-being is closely connected to physical health, relationships, purpose, and daily habits. Together, we will explore how these areas influence your overall wellness and develop a treatment plan that supports lasting growth. This may include medication management when appropriate, education, supportive therapy, healthy lifestyle strategies, stress management, sleep optimization, and building practical coping skills that fit your life.

Victoria Sterling

Victoria Sterling

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I believe therapy begins with feeling safe enough to be honest and being heard without judgment. I want my clients to know that you don't have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Virginia and Maryland. I have worked in behavioral health for many years, with a particular focus on substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and trauma. My experience includes working with adults from diverse backgrounds and supporting individuals through residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels of care.

I genuinely enjoy helping people recognize strengths they may have forgotten they have. I believe that your diagnosis, substance use, trauma, or past experiences are only part of your story—they do not define who you are. I will meet you where you are and work with you to identify where you want to go next.
