I am Vickie Parker, a 71-year-old Marriage and Family Therapist in Redding, California and committed to offering only the highest level of services to my clients. I make it both a goal and a habit to really enjoy life. I have been married (for the second time around) for 39 years, and I love being a wife, mother, daughter, and grandmother.
I allow myself to be open and inspired by the world around me. I cherish the outdoors and enjoy running, swimming, and hiking with my husband and friends. I will always be the first to say that life is not easy, but is a challenging adventure filled with difficult situations, excitement, relationship issues, joy and sorrow, and lots of hard work.

Services
I was raised in a Christian home and my relationship with God is very much a part of my life. Being a Christian does not mean that I have not struggled with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, my own cancer (2015), losing a brother to cancer in 2014, taking care of elderly parents and feelings of loneliness and helplessness.

I have never been treated so disrespectfully and harshly from someone claiming that they want to help people. My husband and I went to see Mrs. Parker for some marriage counseling. On my individual appointment with her, I discussed my hopes in the future to have another baby. Mrs. Parker was very harsh and told me that "An unselfish mother would worry about the children she has now." She crossed the line and almost made me have a panic attack because she attacked me so very badly. She knew I had a lot of childhood trauma and very sensitive, but that did not stop her. She even knew she

Coming to counseling with Vickie has been a very positive experience. Basically working with her has restored and improved our marriage. My wife visited initially, then we started as a couple. Vickie works to equip us with tools and skills to communicate and improve our relationship. She’s very good at listening and helping to find the root of the problem instead of just dealing with surface issues.
The office is very comfortable, and she is punctual in getting from one appointment to the next. She is very good at telling you what you need to hear in a kind way, and giving you a map to help

I was never a fan of counseling, but Vicki has changed that mind set for me. My wife and I needed a little marriage maintenance, so my wife suggested Vicki. I knew we needed something to get us back on track, so I agreed. Honestly, Vicki is everything you want in a marriage therapist. She is honest, caring, and related real life experience when necessary. I can't thank Vicki enough for helping me and my wife through a rough spot. I consider her more than our marriage counselor, Vicki is more of a friend now. Love talking to her and we will continue to do so just to stay on track.

Can’t say enough good about our experience with Vickie. Part of therapy is that you only get out what you’re willing to put in to it. The other part is having someone who can put you in a position to succeed. Vickie does this. She gives you tools and guided practice with using them so that you can improve your relationships outside of her office.

My husband and I were recommended to Vickie from a friend who tried a few different therapists. She said Vickie was by far the BEST and I couldn't agree more! Vickie gave my husband and I the necessary tools and skills to work through our ongoing problems at home. She always made herself available either through an additional unscheduled session or by text. She listened and guided with love. She drew on her own experiences which made you feel as though you were not alone in your struggles. Her end goal is to give you the necessary tools so you no longer need to see her every week or month. (The

I can't say enough good things about Vickie. She has helped me, members of my family, and friends here in Redding, CA. I have a bit of a skeptical attitude about therapists, thinking many of them went into the profession mostly to figure themselves out, and are thus kind of nutty. But Vickie is sooo level-headed, clear thinking, and objective. And her goal is to help you resolve your issues, NOT to string you along forever. I highly recommend her.

I wish I would have found Vickie sooner. Her wisdom and experience has changed my life. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. I knew from my first session that she was my therapist and someone I could completely trust. I can honestly say that this is the best money I have ever spent on myself. Ever!
