Hello. I am a counselor originally from New York City, and currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. I have over 20 years experience working with people with developmental disabilities as well as emotional and mental disorders. My goal is to help you find balance while striving for your highest ideals/best life. I use a variety of approaches based on a thorough and complete assessment. Basically I individualize treatment based on each individuals needs. I am compassionate, understanding and insightful, and these are important qualities in identifying and correcting limiting thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs.
In these unprecedented times mental hygiene/wellness is of the utmost importance. Depression, Isolation, Anxiety, and trauma can make daily life challenging. With the proper attitude and support from our counselors, friends, family, and associates we can emerge successful from these challenges.
Thank you for taking taking the time to consider working with me. Regardless of which counselor you choose I wish you health, wealth, and success.

Victor has been invaluable to me and my mental health journey. At the beginning, I was in a bad place, struggling to find hope and enjoyment out of life as a result of anxiety. However, after just 4 weeks with Victors assistance, care, listening, advice and hope, I can gladly say I’ve come out the other side with unfettered gratitude for the present and excitement for the future. I would recommend Victor to anyone I know who is struggling with full confidence he will help them. Many thanks, Victor.

Victor is the therapist I always needed. He's straight-forward, doesnt BS you, and tells you the truth in a way that is tough-love and what you need to hear. He understands how to mix compassion with truth, and gives you lessons, metaphors, stories and routines that help. Ive only been with him 3-4 months and I will never go back. Victor Grimes is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. I have so much trust in him, and he's helped me more in 4 months than any meds or exercising or meditations combined. If you have him as your therapist, you dont have any idea how lucky you truly are. Thank you Victor.

I almost cancelled my whole search for help because I didn’t fit with the therapist I was first paired with. Then I picked Victor. And I have yet to regret it. The most help I’ve ever received from a therapist, and I’ve been in therapy since I was 9 years old (I’m 26 now). Is he going to be right for you? I can’t say for sure. What I can say is that he genuinely listens and cares, he’s patient, and gives insightful advice. I believe in his ability to help me change my life for the better if I put in the work. What more could I ask for?
