5/5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria (Torie) Sullivan and the Premier Therapy practice. The thought of adequately trying to convey all of said wonderful things in a single review is nothing less than overwhelming. That said, it is an honor to review someone who has forever impacted my life in the best possible way.
I first started seeing Torie for co-parenting counseling, and it was apparent from the first session that she saw things I didn’t think other people saw. She saw things I didn’t even see myself. Her keen observations made practical sense and were full of real sourced material. She identified a characteristic in my child that helped me gain a better understanding of my child and change the way I parent. My child and I have the sweetest relationship, I am her safe space, and I owe a lot of that to Torie’s guidance.
I knew immediately that I wanted to meet with Torie 1:1 to discuss my own personal challenges. I am thrilled to share that it was not the stereotypical “so, how does that make you feel?” session. I’ve experienced those, and they simply left me feeling sad and still helpless. I’d spew my guts out only to be left without tools to address any kind of anything. Torie is a teacher. She is a mentor. She is a friend. She is so knowledgeable in both academia and practical advice. I can’t begin to tell you how many “ah-ha” moments I’ve had with her, and here I was always considering myself a pretty self-aware person. She is full of empathy and she’s SMART. She has taught me practical ways to deal with life and the people in it. She’s made me aware of my own inner narratives and given me the tools to make meaningful change.
I was, in a sense, lost when I first started my sessions with Torie. I didn’t know which end was up; I was in a fog; I didn’t know what hit me. She helped me make sense of things, which to say was incredibly valuable is an understatement. She helped me see things for what they were. She helped me put all the strewn out pieces of a complex puzzle together, so that I could see and understand and learn and be better for it.
Torie is a wizard and she will always be thought of and spoken of with admiration and love.
