🚨 If you haven’t joined my Patreon, The Gentle Shift, you’re missing out!

Because SHIFT is really happening—breaking news, political changes, uncertainty about the future—it’s easy to feel anxious and overwhelmed. That’s why these tools matter.

I literally just listened to my own meditation and felt my blood pressure lower. ✨ These are the same practices I use for myself to find calm and peace in the middle of it all.

My Patreon is a safe, self-care community—where you’ll get guided meditations, journaling prompts, and gentle tools to help you breathe easier and manage the stress of everyday life.

There’s a book by called Black Women Will Save the World. Rep. Nicole Collier is living proof. This is the kind of strength and unwavering dedication to the people we could have had in the White House. I’m saddened that the weight so often falls on us, yet I’m proud too — proud of the fighting spirit of our ancestors, the deep faith in our God, and the resilient mindset that refuses to give up no matter what comes our way. Only a Black woman — the mother of civilization. 🖤✊🏾

✨Why These Evaluations Matter✨

Psychological evaluations can play a powerful role in immigration cases by:
• Documenting extreme emotional hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;
• Providing evidence of past trauma, persecution, or abuse;
• Supporting claims involving domestic violence, trafficking, or crime victimization;
• Highlighting mental health conditions that may affect legal outcomes.

If you or your attorney are seeking a qualified clinician to conduct an immigration psychological evaluation, I invite you to contact me for more information or to schedule a consultation.

You may be wondering—why immigration?

After years of supporting women and families through trauma, it felt natural to step into work that uplifts another group navigating deeply emotional, life-changing moments.

Immigration evaluations allow me to advocate for individuals and families experiencing hardship, violence, or fear of returning home—helping their voices be heard through clinical documentation grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and justice.

This work is personal. It’s purposeful. And I’m honored to offer it.

Dear followers and friends!

So much is changing in the world that it’s hard to keep up! But I will remain intentional to my purpose, helping others and trying to make a positive impact no matter what.

Due to the announcement of recent changes to the Meta platforms, I may be leaving Facebook and Instagram. I believe in being connected with companies that align with my values and morals, and want to see healthy engagements and discussions on social media, especially as it relates to mental health and the things I’m most passionate.

If you’d like to keep up with me, I plan to do more content on YouTube .v_speaks

I hope you’ll subscribe and continue to keep up with me. Thank you for being a follower!

With 💜,
Dr. V

✨POV: Reading “The Mountain is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery”⛰️

📖I highly recommend this book. Just one of many take aways is learning how we make excuses to keep ourselves comfortable. In other words, we lie to ourselves often to avoid doing or accomplishing. It’s a major stumbling block and keeps us in a perpetual state of bo***ge. So think about your life…what lies do you tell yourself?

~I’m not good enough
~I don’t have enough experience
~No one will take me serious
~I have too much going on
~I’m too broken or damaged
~I don’t have the time

Now imagine your life without the lies or excuses!! Tell yourself something different, and I promise you’ll see different results. 💜 Dr. V

Sometimes choosing peace is taking an intentional break from social media. We’ve all been plugged in very hard and heavy over the past few months during this unprecedented election season. So if needed, take some time to reflect, reset and refocus. Find your peace, choose joy and try to lead with love!
