Hello!

Welcome—I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Victoria Pass, a licensed therapist and the founder of Empowered Blooms Counseling. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating life transitions, healing from trauma, and striving to reconnect with their sense of self-worth and strength. My approach is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and a deep belief that healing is possible when we feel seen, heard, and empowered.

With a background in trauma-informed and empowerment-based therapy, I strive to create a safe and grounded space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply longing for something more, therapy can be a place to rediscover your voice and reclaim your story.

The name Empowered Blooms reflects what I’ve witnessed time and again: that with the right support, people don’t just survive—they grow, rise, and bloom. I’d be honored to walk beside you on your journey toward healing, clarity, and lasting change.

When anxiety takes over, it can feel like your mind is racing a million miles a minute.
The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique is a simple, evidence-based tool that helps calm your nervous system by bringing your attention back to your senses — and to the present moment. 🌿

Try it next time you feel overwhelmed:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

Take a slow, deep breath. You are here, and you are safe. 💛

✨ Save this for later and tag a friend who could use a calming reminder today.

Have you ever been told, “It’s all in your head”?

It’s a phrase that can feel invalidating — like what you’re feeling isn’t real or important.
But here’s the truth: your brain is in your head, and it’s one of the most powerful organs in your body.

Just like your heart can develop rhythm changes or your stomach can become upset, your brain can experience stress, imbalance, and illness too.

✨ Mental health struggles are real.
✨ They’re not a sign of weakness.
✨ They’re signals from your brain and body that care and support are needed.

You’re not broken — your brain just needs compassion, understanding, and healing. 💛
Caring for your mind is caring for your health. 🌿

If this resonates, save it for later or share it with someone who needs the reminder.
And if you’ve ever been told “it’s all in your head,” you’re not alone.
Let’s change the narrative together.

Hey! I’m Victoria 👋🏽
I’m a licensed therapist, the face behind Empowered Blooms Counseling.

I have over 5 years of experience working with people who are ready to unpack the hard stuff—trauma, identity, burnout, anxiety—and learn to hold space for themselves the way they do for everyone else.

I’m a Black woman, a member of the LGBTQIA+, and a mother, and I know how much healing can happen when we feel truly seen. That’s what I try to offer: a space that’s soft, safe, and real.

If you’re into rest, reflection, and reclaiming your voice—you’re in the right place.
Welcome 🌸

Resting: The act of allowing one's mind and body to be still in order to regain strength, refresh oneself, recover, and relax.

In a world where productivity is often equated with worth, it’s time we reconsider how we perceive rest.

Rest is not laziness.
It is an active choice—a conscious decision—and a vital part of our well-being.

You are still enough, even when you're still.

Let's start this week off with a check-in. Take a deep slow breath and settle into your body. Scan your from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and release any tension you find along the way. This is an opportunity to be mindful and practice gratitude. How can you show up for yourself this week? You deserve to start this week off with self compassion. 💙
