Victoria Whitfield, LMFT
Fairfax, VA | Alexandria, VA
I’m an LMFT with 10 years of experience helping couples and families navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, and the effects of past trauma. I create a safe, supportive space where partners can be vulnerable, communicate their needs, and strengthen connection. Using approaches like Emotion-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help couples break unhelpful patterns, manage conflict, and build stronger, more resilient relationships.
