Victoria Hopkins

Victoria Hopkins is a licensed independent social worker with a master's degree in social work from Case Western Reserve University and a bachelor's degree in social work from Ursuline College. She holds a clinical license in substance use disorder and maintains an Ohio LISW credential. Over the course of twenty years in mental health and addiction services she has worked across settings that include clinical treatment and outreach to people affected by homelessness.

Her clinical style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered methods, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused treatment. She often frames assessment by asking what happened rather than what is wrong, a practice that helps orient sessions toward experience and meaning. The past decade of her work has included supporting veterans who have experienced chronic homelessness associated with untreated substance use or mental health challenges such as PTSD.

Hopkins emphasizes compassionate, practical collaboration. She aims to partner with people navigating addiction, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, relationship and career concerns, grief, and shifts in self-esteem. Those seeking an attentive clinician with long-term experience in both substance use and trauma-informed care will find her approach grounded in established therapeutic methods and an emphasis on steady support.
