Victoria GarofaloLCSW

Nice to meet you

I have helped countless individuals overcome difficulties that have prevented them from enjoying their lives. I am truly fulfilled by this work and am grateful for every opportunity I am given to make an impact. I utilize a mix of humor and empathy in sessions and aim to empower my clients. I take my clients' lead as to whether they prefer a more passive, listening approach or if they want to set goals and complete weekly homework. I have experience helping adults with depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, addiction, and Bipolar Disorder, among other conditions.
