Heartfelt words from my clients
I have felt joy and peace in my life that I have never felt before.
“I saw my other therapists for 15 years, and I was the same sick person I was after I left their care. I continued to be hospitalized, severely depressed, suicidal, unhappy, anxiety ridden, and heavily drinking. Dr. Magid is different. She helps me understand how my past trauma affects my thoughts and behaviors and how to minimize the effect of that programming on my current relationships, thoughts, and behaviors. My other therapists never addressed my trauma. Also, because of my trauma, I have grown up basically hating myself, which didn’t change under either other therapist. Dr. Magid has taught me why I feel the way I do about myself and how to treat myself without feeling the awful shame and hate towards myself. Getting through this shame and hate and dealing with myself with compassion has greatly reduced my anxiety and allowed me to live in a world with having a deeper relationships myself and others. I have felt joy and peace in my life that I have never felt before. Dealing with myself trauma has made the black hole in my chest get smaller and smaller, and. I have much hope and excitement about my current and future life. After 54 years I finally get to be apart of life and not just afraid of it!”

She truly is one of a kind and has helped me in more ways than I can put into words
“I have been working with Viktoriya for the past 7 years. I am 25 years old and have seen more psychologists and psychiatrists than I can count since I was about 8 years old. I first started coming to sessions with her when I was 18 years old and at the time was struggling heavily with addiction issues and depression and anxiety. Viktoriya does a great job with me specifically by challenging my thought process and helping me to understanding the true meaning and intentions behind my thoughts and decisions. She has really helped me grasp a better understanding of how my upbringing and specific events in my childhood have affected my growth and development as a teenager and young adult. Today one of the main focuses in our sessions is helping me to live an authentic life that is true to myself without allowing my fear of people places and things hold me back. She truly is one of a kind and has helped me in more ways than I can put into words.”

I look forward to each session because it’s always so life changing
“I have known Dr. Magid for about a year and a half now, and have been consistently working with her for 7 months. She came highly recommended as a clinician by my therapist in a PHP program I was finishing up at the time. Originally I sought Viktoriya’s expertise to help my husband and I with cultural differences in our marriages. Even though Viktoriya had a full clientele at the time, she still made room for me. That was my first clue this was a person who really wanted to help others. I could tell from her first email the dedication she puts into her work. From the first session, it quickly became apparent that my suicidal thoughts and current hardships had nothing to do with my marriage but instead stemmed from my childhood trauma that I had normalized over the years. Viktoriya is the first psychologist to look into the root of issues of my existence, vs mending the surface problem. As we dissect my childhood trauma and programming, Viktoriya also teaches me why things are happening psychologically, physically, emotionally and how they fit into the grand scheme of things in my life but also for those around me. For the first time ever, I feel seen and heard and finally understood, all thanks to Viktoriya. She has given me the confidence to go on, know that I matter and the willpower to find out who I really am. I look forward to each session because it’s always so life changing. I now understand my coping mechanisms, some of my rigid ways, my isolation from people…all while I observe these parts of me with curiosity, grace and less and less judgement. In our sessions, Viktoriya has given me freedom to fully express who I am WITHOUT judgement, receiving my truth only with full acceptance, love and kindness. My hypervigilence is non existent around her and is slowly easing up in the real world. I feel my anxiety and depression slowly subside. I can better rationalize emotions and feelings instead of being so entangled and trapped, only hoping for death. I’m starting to see patterns that trigger childhood memories but be able to discern realistically that it is not currently happening. I’m slowly beginning to live, instead of just staying trapped or frozen in survival mode.”

General Question
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua
True authenticity is hard earned. It mean shedding years of childhood conditioning, generational burdens, and cultural programming. It means becoming free from all the dogmas, and the shame and the fears. It means loving yourself so deeply that you can stand naked and tall in front of the crowds and not have to change a thing or hide a part.
