My name is Victoria Owens and I am the Assistant Site Director of our Fredericksburg location. I am constantly striving for greater mental healthcare awareness and accessibility. I have always had a passion for helping others, especially those who have been overlooked, ignored, or otherwise would not have a voice. I believe that there is so much more to the individuals in the populations that we serve- they are multifaceted with many layers that simply need to be pulled back. Pulling back those layers and treating our clients like the humans that they are is what gives me the greatest joy in my work. Empowering our clients is the name of the game!
I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2012 and began my career with Therapeutic Alliance in June 2020 as a behavioral technician/QMHP hybrid. With my effective communication skills and dedication to our clients, I was swiftly promoted to the Field Assistant position which allowed me to not only offer additional support to our technicians, but also to work with even more clients and their families. During my time as a Field Assistant, I got to experience a team that had a desire to learn and grow with their clients. I quickly realized that the level of commitment to our clients from the therapeutic staff here is unmatched. As an Assistant Site Director, I am looking forward to growing our location both with clients that need our help and with passionate staff that have a desire to answer the call.
In my free time, I enjoy pour-painting, singing karaoke, and anything crafty. I have also been known to whip up a mean cheesecake!
