Victoria “Tori” Hamilton, LSW
Hi, I’m Victoria Hamilton, LSW, licensed in New Jersey and dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Rutgers University Newark and went on to complete my Master’s in Social Work at Rutgers University New Brunswick. With experience in both inpatient and in home settings, I specialize in working with clients navigating depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, and substance use challenges.
Using a blend of trauma informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to create a space for healing and growth. My focus is always on helping you feel understood, empowered, and equipped with the tools you need to thrive.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I’m passionate about mentoring youth, fostering creative outlets like art and music therapy, and volunteering in my community. My goal is to support you in discovering your strengths and finding balance, peace, and joy in your life.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to connect with you. Together, we can work on building a path toward a healthier, more fulfilling future. Let’s see how I can support you on your journey!
Keith Brouca, LPC
Hi there, I’m Keith Brouca, LPC--licensed in both NJ and PA. I graduated from Montclair State University with my bachelors in 2003, then went on to Seton Hall for my Master’s in Counseling-Education Specialist (Ed.S). I've worked in a variety of settings with both children and adults, and I specialize in trauma treatment and LGBTQ+ needs. For over 6 years, I've been treating clients with a blend of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed approaches, Mindfulness, and more.
I know therapy can feel mysterious and overwhelming--I've been in your shoes. I've also seen how we can overcome depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family conflicts, trauma, and more when we work together. With kindness and understanding, I can guide you through the scary first steps of starting therapy and help you get to a place of healing and thriving.
In addition to loving the work I do, I also like to spend time reading fantasy and sci-fi novels, table tops gaming, and enjoying live music. Feel free to contact me to have a brief consultation to see if we would be a good therapeutic fit. I look forward to meeting you!
