Victoria McCord Valerga

Victoria, a native of Louisiana, has called San Antonio and Chicago home for most of her life. Her academic journey includes earning a B.A. from Trinity Univ., a J.D. from St. Mary’s Univ., and dual Masters degrees in Divinity and Social Work from the University of Chicago. At Victoria4Therapy, she offers psychotherapy services under the guidance of Emily Perez, LCSW-S, with a particular focus on couples counseling. Victoria is committed to providing individual counseling to individuals grappling with issues such as problem drinking, trauma recovery, LGBTQ+ concerns, and those with strong international ties. She is also a skilled interfaith/interreligious chaplain who integrates spiritual perspectives to support the emotional well-being and balance of her individual and couples clients, when helpful. Based in her hospice experience, Victoria welcomes discussions on topics related to aging, loss, and grief. In her leisure time, she enjoys globetrotting, organizing board game nights with friends, cycling along city Greenways, and nurturing orphaned neonate kittens for local animal rescue organizations.
