Victoria (Tori) Hall, MS

Psychotherapist (She/Her)

You shouldn't have to find all the โ€œrightโ€ words to feel understood.

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is explaining what you're experiencing. You might know something doesn't feel quite right but struggle to describe it. Perhaps you've spent years feeling misunderstood, trying to meet expectations that don't seem to come naturally, or wondering why things that appear easy for others feel so complicated for you.

Tori Hall understands that people experience, process, and communicate emotions in different ways. Warm, perceptive, and refreshingly down-to-earth, Tori has a way of noticing things that aren't always easy to say out loud. She brings genuine curiosity, thoughtful observations, and a straightforward, conversational style to her work. She helps clients better understand themselves without feeling judged or pressured to have all the answers.

Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults

Tori has experience working with adults with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences, including those who receive a diagnosis or begin recognizing their neurodivergence later in life.

For some adults, discovering that they have ADHD or are autistic can feel like finally finding a missing piece of their personal history. Experiences that once seemed confusing or inexplicable begin to make sense. But that recognition can also bring complicated emotions, including grief for the support they didn't receive, frustration over years of misunderstanding, and uncertainty about what comes next.

Together, Tori and her clients explore what it means to understand themselves through a new lens, including revisiting past experiences, making sense of years of feeling different or misunderstood, and navigating the complicated emotions that can accompany a late diagnosis. Her approach creates room for grief over missed opportunities and unmet needs, relief in finally having answers, and the gradual process of rebuilding self-understanding and self-acceptance. Alongside this emotional work, Tori helps clients develop practical strategies for executive functioning, emotional regulation, relationships, and everyday life.

Tori also supports adults experiencing anxiety, mood-related concerns, low self-esteem, life transitions, and challenges navigating relationships with friends, romantic partners, family members, and colleagues. Her approach balances emotional understanding with practical strategies that clients can use in their daily lives.

Helping Children Feel Understood and Build Confidence

Tori also enjoys working with children, particularly autistic children and those with ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, and executive functioning challenges.

She understands that children don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling, and that behavior often communicates something important about their experiences and needs. Through play-based approaches, sand tray activities, and developmentally appropriate conversations, Tori helps children explore emotions, strengthen communication, and build confidence in expressing themselves.

Her approach also emphasizes practical skills. From managing frustration and navigating friendships to developing coping strategies and everyday life skills, Tori works collaboratively with children and their caregivers to identify approaches that make sense for each child's unique needs.

Tori is completing additional training in play and sand tray therapy, expanding the creative and experiential approaches she brings to her work with children.

What It's Like to Work With Tori

Therapy with Tori feels like talking with a real person. Her style is relaxed, genuine, and conversational, with plenty of room for curiosity, humor, and honest reflection. She's attentive without being intense, straightforward without being harsh, and comfortable meeting people where they are.

Tori also speaks fluent geek. A devoted Disney enthusiast with an appreciation for anime, gaming, and all things nerd culture, she welcomes the interests, passions, and unconventional ways of experiencing the world that make each person unique. Clients don't need to explain or justify the things that bring them joy.

Tori brings a practical perspective to therapy, informed by her experience in outpatient counseling, psychiatric rehabilitation, and community behavioral health. Her goal isn't to help clients become someone else. It's to help them better understand who they are, recognize their strengths, and develop the confidence and practical tools to navigate life in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
