Hi, I’m Victoria M. Kachinski, LICSW, psychotherapist and founder of Shared Stories Counseling, LLC in Wellesley MA. I’m passionate about supporting my clients as they learn to care for their mental health and nervous systems through affirming, somatic, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental practices.

In our sessions, we’ll work to understand how your past experience of trauma and stress may be causing present day mental and physical disturbance like anxiety, depression, fear, irritability, shut down, and emotional numbness.

With over a decade of clinical experience and through my own lived experience, I understand that it’s hard to get out of survival mode alone. Throughout the years, I’ve been so lucky to witness my clients overcome their pasts and thrive again after trauma and chronic stress.

I know the same is possible for you.

Shared Stories Counseling is right for you if…

  • You’re exhausted from being stuck in survival mode day after day

  • You’re wanting to learn what it actually means to “turn inward and listen to your body”

  • You’re ready to heal from early attachment wounds that are negatively impacting your current relationships

  • You’re an adult who is ready to make sense of and process early childhood stress, trauma, neglect or abuse

  • You’re tired of feeling SO activated, on edge, or fearful in situations where you “should” feel safe

  • You’re wanting not just to tolerate but actually ENJOY the life you’re building for yourself and your family
