Dr. Victoria Shedrick

Owner, Lead Therapist

Hi there! I'm Dr. Victoria Shedrick, but most of my clients call me "Dr. V". I'm a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina and Georgia. I have nearly 20 years of counseling experience in various settings and with diverse populations. Currently, my practice specializes in helping women overcome trauma, using EMDR therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Faith-based counseling.

I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) in South Carolina and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in Georgia, offering clinical supervision to those working towards a state license. I also provide coaching and consultation to therapists in private practice and workshops on various mental health topics to organizations.

Regardless of the path you're on or your specific needs, I welcome the opportunity to connect and serve!

NOTE: Dr. V is no longer accepting clients for therapy. She is however continuing to offer supervision and coaching services to therapists.

KAYONA WATSON

Graduate-level Therapist

Hello everyone, I’m Kayona. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

I am passionate about helping clients focus on solutions and their problems, guiding them to recognize their inherent resilience and ability to overcome challenges. By emphasizing practical and forward-thinking strategies, I help support clients in building confidence and achieving their desired outcomes.

I am dedicated to creating a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can develop skills to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and achieve their personal goals. I work with individuals, children/adolescents and families that have a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and disruptive/impulse control.

Self-care is very important in my personal life, I love spending time with my family, getting a massage and sitting by the river to regain my energy.

My availability is Wednesday afternoons from 2-6pm. I look forward to helping you on your journey.

Great Things Our Clients Say

"After working with Dr. Victoria Shedrick for the past few years for several of our training programs and conferences, I have to say it has been an absolute delight. Her professionalism is extremely valuable as she responds to requests quickly, shows up for events early and well prepared. I know our clients are in good hands when they are working with Dr. Shedrick. It is also a joy to see Dr. Shedrick in action as she captivates the audience with her ability to make them feel comfortable with what ever topic she is presenting. The audience feels they are meeting with a knowledgeable, trusted friend and are comfortable and welcoming to hear what she has to say. Dr. Shedrick is talented in so many ways and I am honored to be able to partner with her and to have her work with our clients!"

Joyce, EAP Partner
"What I enjoyed most in working with Dr. Shedrick was her relatability. Being able to talk to someone who's 'been there, done that' and understood things from my perspective, was a blessing. In the beginning, of course I was weary because it was someone new but as time went on, she provided me with the security to open up, be comfortable and be myself. She didn't provide me with definitive answers to my problems but encouraged me, helped me and allowed me to find solutions to issues that helped me find peace and mental stability and for that I am forever grateful. I appreciate her and her efforts in working with me. Still to this day, I am able to apply the advice that she has provided me with and I know that I will continue to use that advice in many situations to come."

"During my time in group supervision with Victoria I feel like I was able to learn about myself as a counselor and obtain valuable skills to help assist my clients. I looked forward to our meetings every month and would recommend her to any LPC Associates looking for a supervisor!"

Former Supervisee, Columbia, SC
"I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Shedrick speak at a black history month program in Columbia, S.C. Her speech was remarkable and resonated with me, so that I felt as if she was directly speaking to me. After hearing her speak and being moved by her speech, I reached out to her. I asked her to speak at my non-profit cancer support organization virtual mental health talk. She agreed and the talk was amazing. She created a safe space and made a real true connection with our viewers. Our viewers were very engaged with her and asked some hard personal questions. This was important as it led to understanding and education which was the purpose of the mental health talk. Dr. Shedrick is phenomenal at her profession and our organization was blessed to have her speak at our virtual event”.
