Victoria Bousheri(She/Her/Hers)

Victoria Bousheri, MSW, ACSW, is an Associate Clinical Social Worker who creates a safe, grounded, and collaborative space for clients seeking clarity, healing, and self-understanding. She works with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics—including consensual non-monogamy—and end-of-life issues. Victoria has a particular interest in supporting highly sensitive individuals and those exploring their cultural identity or processing systemic stressors. Her background in foster care, memory care, and community-based services informs her deep respect for clients' lived experiences and resilience.

Victoria’s approach to therapy is rooted in partnership. She uses a collaborative, integrative framework, adapting evidence-based practices like Solution-Focused Therapy, behavioral modification, and mindfulness-based strategies to meet each client’s unique needs. A powerful metaphor that guides her work is the “Two Mountains” perspective—she sees herself as someone climbing her own mountain, observing from across the valley to offer thoughtful reflections and insights that can help clients navigate their own terrain. With humility and openness, she aims to help clients move forward with intention and self-trust.

Victoria’s path to becoming a therapist was shaped by early exposure to caregiving roles and a lifelong commitment to social justice. She earned her Bachelor’s in Deaf Culture with a concentration in Community Service, where she deepened her understanding of intersectionality and advocacy. Her Master of Social Work included clinical training in foster care and geriatric mental health, and she later served as Director of Social Work at a memory care community. These roles expanded her expertise in grief, trauma, life transitions, and caregiving stress.

Victoria offers virtual therapy sessions through Core Therapy, serving clients throughout California. She is currently accepting new clients for weekday appointments. Fluent in English and conversational in American Sign Language (ASL), she brings warmth, cultural humility, and deep respect for people’s natural pace and values.
