Victoria Nachman

Professional Experience

I hold a B.S. in Communication Studies with minors in Psychology and Social Work and am currently pursuing a Master of Social Welfare at UCLA, with a concentration in Health & Mental Health Across the Lifespan. Prior to pursuing my MSW, I spent several years working in marketing before transitioning into social work.

During my graduate training, I have facilitated group therapy in short-term residential settings for adolescents experiencing substance use, family displacement, and a range of mental health conditions. I have also volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for youth in foster care, advocating for their needs, connecting them with resources, and building long-term supportive relationships.

Additionally, I volunteer with the Center for Positive Sexuality, where I help provide educational programming for corporations, universities, and community programs that promotes an inclusive approach to sexual health and human sexuality.

These experiences have shaped my approach to caring for the whole person by recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, physical, relational, and sexual well-being. My goal is to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where each individual feels supported in ways that honor their unique experiences, identities, and values.

Personal Interests

In my free time, you can find me running, hiking, playing tennis, cooking, baking, or, more often than not, curled up on the couch with a good book or TV show.
