The Relationship Center

For nearly 25 years, I've devoted my career to helping couples find their way back to each other — and sometimes, to make peace with going different ways. I'm Victoria Holroyd, founder of The Relationship Center of Hampton Roads, and relationships are the only thing I've ever wanted to do. My training spans the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Relationship Therapy, Discernment Counseling, and relational trauma — tools I draw on fluidly depending on what a couple actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. As a trauma-trained therapist with advanced training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Brainspotting, I understand that what looks like a relationship problem is often a trauma problem — and that lasting change requires working at both levels. I specialize in infidelity recovery, couples on the brink of divorce, and partners who've tried everything and aren't sure anything can help. Those are often the couples I work best with. I also have a special interest in adult family therapy — working with grown siblings and families navigating the pressure points that tend to surface later in life: caregiving for aging parents, estate settlement, and years of miscommunication or disconnection that finally need to be addressed. These conversations are often long overdue, and having a skilled facilitator in the room can make all the difference. I work with individuals and couples navigating betrayal, disconnection, chronic conflict, and the quiet erosion that happens when two people stop feeling like a team. Whether you're deciding whether to stay or go, rebuilding after an affair, or simply tired of having the same fight for the tenth year in a row — this is exactly the work I'm trained for. My practice serves clients in-person across Virginia and New York, and via telehealth throughout both states. If you've been putting off reaching out because it feels like too much, or too late — it rarely is.
