Dr. Victoria Foster is an Associate Professor in the Counselor Education Program and has been the Faculty Director of New Horizons since arriving at William and Mary in 1992. She has nearly twenty years of counseling experience in diverse settings including private practice in couple and sex therapy, residential treatment programs for emotionally disturbed youth, and women's centers. Her work at New Horizons has focused on methods of clinical instruction and supervision that provide the crucible in which students can blend formal theories and research observations with practitioner-driven knowledge and skills, and begin to incorporate them as their own working knowledge. This collaborative and challenging learning environment places special emphasis on connected teaching techniques that promote best practices in family counselor preparation and in the provision of counseling services to a diverse population of families.

Victoria's areas of interest include gender/diversity issues in family counseling, family/school collaboration for at-risk children, counseling supervision, and developmental theory. She has served as President of the Virginia Association of Marriage and Family Counselors (VAMFC), twice served as President of the Virginia Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (VACES) and is currently the President of the Southern Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (SACES). She is the Editor of the Virginia Counselors Association Journal, serves as the associate editor of Child and Youth Care Forum, and is on the editorial boards of The Family Journal and Counselor Education and Supervision.
