WORK WITH Victoria

With over three decades of experience, I'm deeply committed to holistic healing at my serene healing center just outside Ashland, Oregon. My journey began with a profound exploration of psychology and somatic practices, leading me to earn a bachelor’s degree in Ecopsychology and Masters in trauma psychology from Prescott College.

Driven by a passion for aiding others in navigating life’s challenges, I completed a master’s in Trauma Psychology, with a focus on post-traumatic growth. Alongside my academic pursuits, I hold certifications in Somatic Experiencing and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and mediation/conflict resolution. Ensuring a comprehensive approach to healing.

My therapeutic approach seamlessly merges evidence-based psychology with intuitive somatic techniques, fostering a holistic mind-body connection. Specializing in a wide range of areas, including trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, birth trauma, childhood trauma, couples work, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, eating disorders, emotional abuse, energy work, infertility, life transitions, narcissistic abuse, spirituality, trauma recovery, and women’s issues, I create safe, nurturing environments where individuals can explore and heal.

As a firm believer in accessibility and inclusivity, I welcome individuals from all walks of life, prioritizing marginalized communities. Whether you’re seeking support through life transitions, trauma recovery, or personal growth, I offer empathetic guidance tailored to your unique journey.

The Time Is Now!

Therapy that doesn’t suck.
— Victoria Markham, M.A.
