About Me

My name is Victoria Boatwright, the founder of Heart’s Haven, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in New Jersey.  I have worked in a variety of treatment settings: inpatient and outpatient programs, group private practice, short/long term rehabilitation, and detox levels of care.  I specialize in codependency, co-occurring disorders, self-esteem, and untangling complex family dynamics. 

 

I have found that many of my clients come to me after sitting through previous therapy that felt more like talking into a void. I utilize a different approach to therapy.  Fostering a safe space for my clients to engage in vulnerability is very important to me.  I’m here to challenge you, laugh with you, and lovingly call you out when you need it. I bring warmth, humor, and directness into every session because healing doesn’t have to be stiff or sterile.​
