Testimonials

“After meeting with other therapists on the app, Victor is now my official selection! He is patient, kind, firm with boundaries like who has the Talking-stick, sets applicable and real-world homework that really makes a difference, and he has a wealth of professional experience to apply. What drew me to Victor is how he has grown his career to help other therapists do their job better too. [Read what they said on] his website to know what I mean. What keeps me coming back is the revelations I have while talking to him each week. Every week, we uncover something new and move my mental health in the direction of lasting change. I cannot say enough great things about how he has helped me.”

“I have known Dr. Bloomberg for over forty years, first as his supervisor in a youth counseling agency as he pursued his Master’s degree in Social Work, and later as co-collaborator on many organizational development projects and social justice issues.

In those relationships, as well as in his psychotherapy practice, I found Dr. Bloomberg to be an excellent listener. He asks probing questions, and adroitly checks in with the speaker to be sure he is accurately tracking the stated issues and concerns. In this manner of engagement, he is better able to understand the nuances of a situation, before offering guidance.

Victor has also become a good friend who I can rely on to share useful and well thought out insight into understanding and managing human behavior in the workplace. I value and respect his input, which has often resulted in increased awareness of alternative perspectives and improved decision-making and problem-solving.”

“I was tasked with conducting a critical analysis [2016] of the work flow, process improvement, training and staffing needs [related to social work care] for nearly 4,000 oncology patients. I found Victor to be an extraordinarily skilled clinical consultant. ... He was unfailingly professional in his manner - respectful and equally attentive to all members of our team, attentive to their different communication needs and always clear in the thoughtful and cogent messaging that he delivered.”

— Kauser Ahmed, PhD (Los Angeles, CA)

“I have known Victor for over 3 1⁄2 years in a very close professional relationship. Since 2015, and continuing until I obtained my full license as an MFT [2018] Victor served as my clinical supervisor for my full time clinical work. Victor’s insights and mentoring have been critical to my development as a psychotherapist, and our discussions have focused not only on the struggles faced by my individual clients, and the development of attunement between therapist and client, but also to broader, more systemic issues that may arise in behavioral health and substance use treatment programs.”

- Jack Boyce, LMFT, JD

“Victor Bloomberg brings a deeply insightful, extraordinarily compassionate and refreshing point of view to leaders and organizations seeking to work better together in meaningful endeavors of societal significance. As a leader, you will reach out to Victor when you have decided business as usual is no longer enough, and when you are determined to create radically new - more productive and fun - ways for your organization to work together. Because of his unique background and credentials, and willingness to ask questions that open doors to new insights, Victor may be one of the few who can help an organization create magic at levels never before experienced.”

— April H. Armstrong, Author of "The Day One Executive" (2023)

“Victor Bloomberg’s presentation on Engaged Leadership was nothing short of inspiring. Victor completely captured the audience with his energy and conviction, getting the truth of his message across to the entire audience. He is an amazing, one-of-a-kind speaker.”

— Angelique Rewers, CEO, The Corporate Agent

“As an educator, supervisor, and trainer, Victor Bloomberg was the most important person in my clinical training for the three years we worked together. Victor taught me to use every day, understandable language when describing complex or difficult topics and his humanistic, easy-going style projected confidence and wisdom, which allowed him to gain my trust immediately. I would not be the clinician I am today without Victor’s patience, compassion, and professional insight.”

- Chris M Grasso MA, LAADC, APCC

So many people from many walks of life have been supportive, shared their lessons-learned, been role models, and provided opportunities for me to learn-by-doing. My own spirit has given me a stick-to-it attitude and my family taught me to strive for excellence. I admire each person who successfully heals their wounds (so that they also provide for and protect others.) My respect for their achievement reinforces my motivation to continue being a psychotherapist.

Transformative Psychotherapy and Telehealth

Imagine the talk-therapy of a loved one. Remember your own. It is common to use therapy more than once. There are so many ways that therapists work. There are a multitude of settings, including Telehealth. Each clinician-client experience is unique. What explains good results among the different settings, methods and persons?

Read stories told by experienced psychotherapists about the power of empathy to transform oneself and relationships. Learn about how talk-therapy has evolved from the early days through to Telehealth. Published in October 2021 as an eBook, my dissertation and the accompanying journal article (https://doi.org/10.20935/AL3883) have had 3,651 downloads across 151 countries. Why? People want to know: How do adults change in a fundamental way and how can Telehealth support that? The comprehensive theory came out of 23 interviews of expert therapists, review of 339 publications (271 citations), and my own 40 years of practice.

I earned my doctorate at the Western Institute for Social Research (WISR). The college’s mission is to provide “community-involved adults with high-quality, personalized, learner-centered online and/or onsite graduate education and degrees in a collaborative, multicultural learning community. WISR engages in community education, with a commitment to action-oriented inquiry that combines theory and practice to achieve community improvement and social justice.”
