Victoria ‘Tori’ Carroll, MA
Provisionally Licensed Therapist
You don't have to do this alone, and you don't need to have everything figured out before we begin.
Life brings seasons of change, and sometimes those changes leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves and the people around us.
I enjoy partnering with people who are ready to slow down, reflect on their experiences, and better understand themselves. Together, we will look beyond what's happening on the surface to explore the emotions and experiences underneath.

Who I Help
I work with teens and adults who are navigating major life transitions, experiencing relationship stress, or feeling weighed down by anxiety.
You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by change, struggling to understand your emotions, or noticing patterns in your relationships that you wish you could change. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward.
I especially enjoy partnering with people who are curious about their experiences, willing to look beneath the surface, and ready to do meaningful work toward understanding themselves and creating change.
You may be a good fit for me if you:
Feel overwhelmed by changes or transitions in your life
Find yourself overthinking or weighed down by anxiety
Experience tension or distress in your relationships
Feel disconnected from yourself or unsure of what you need
Want to understand your emotions and reactions
Notice patterns in your relationships that you want to change
Struggle with self-doubt or feeling confident in yourself
Are ready to slow down, reflect, and better understand your experiences
Areas of Support
My Approach
My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps us understand the emotions and experiences beneath the surface.
Rather than focusing only on what is happening in the moment, we will slow things down and explore where your feelings and reactions are coming from. Together, we will connect the dots between your experiences, emotions, and the patterns that may be impacting your life and relationships.
I believe meaningful change begins when we can better understand ourselves. My goal is to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, recognize what you need, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
You can expect a warm, validating space where you feel comfortable showing up just as you are. My style is open and conversational. There is no pressure to come with a polished plan or know exactly what you want to say.
I want our time together to feel like a place where you can be honest, ask questions, explore difficult emotions, and feel genuinely understood.
We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, creating space for reflection, meaningful conversations, and growth along the way.
My Hope For You
My hope is that you build genuine confidence in yourself and your ability to navigate life.
I want you to better understand how you feel, recognize why you feel that way, and learn to trust yourself as you face whatever comes next.
Life will always bring changes and challenges, but you don't have to feel lost or overwhelmed by them. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling more grounded, self-aware, and confident in your ability to move forward.
A Little More About Me
I believe you don't have to have everything figured out to begin making meaningful changes in your life. Some of the most important work happens when we slow down, get curious, and give ourselves permission to explore what is happening beneath the surface.
I offer both in-person and telehealth counseling and strive to create an inviting environment where you feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the process.
Whether you are navigating a difficult transition, working through relationship challenges, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
