Why Choose Victory Village

Care That Goes Deeper Than a Prescription

We believe that true healing requires understanding the whole person — not just the diagnosis on a chart.

30+ Years of Real-World Experience

Victoria's journey from CNA to PMHNP-BC spans nursing homes, prisons, crisis units, and psychosis wards — bringing rare clinical depth to every appointment.

Same-Day & Late Evening Appointments

We work around your life — including evenings up to midnight. Mental health care shouldn't require you to sacrifice your schedule.

No Referral Required

Access expert psychiatric care directly and without delay. You shouldn't have to jump through bureaucratic hoops to get the help you need.

Holistic Root-Cause Approach

Before reaching for a prescription pad, Victoria investigates vitamins, hormones, sleep, social stressors, and lifestyle factors — treating causes, not just symptoms.

Stella Award — Patient-Voted Compassion

Recognized by patients themselves for exceptional warmth and dedication. Because in mental health, the relationship is the medicine.

Telehealth & In-Person, Your Choice

Whether you prefer the privacy of your own home or the connection of an in-person visit — both are available, both deliver the same quality of care.

30+ Years of Care
Victoria Nelson-Laryea
PMHNP-BC  |  Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Victoria's story begins in 1994 — not in a university lecture hall, but at the bedside as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Over the next 30 years, she worked through nursing homes, correctional facilities, HIV counseling centers, crisis units, and psychosis wards. She didn't just learn psychiatry from textbooks. She lived it, patient by patient, in the most demanding settings imaginable.

That journey is the foundation of Victory Village. Every patient Victoria sees benefits from 30 years of real-world wisdom — the kind that can't be taught, only earned. Her philosophy is simple: hear the whole story, treat the whole person, and celebrate every victory, no matter how small.

Our Mission

A Place Where You Are Truly Heard

Victory Village was born from a simple but powerful conviction: every person deserves psychiatric care that sees them as a whole human being, not a set of symptoms to be managed. Victoria founded this practice after decades of watching patients receive fragmented, rushed, impersonal care — and deciding to offer something completely different.

Our hybrid model — combining secure telehealth and in-person appointments in Dover, Delaware — means you can receive world-class psychiatric care wherever you are, on your timeline. Licensed in Delaware and Maryland, we serve patients across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Every milestone matters here. Every victory — however small — is worth celebrating. That's not a marketing phrase. It's the philosophy that shapes every appointment, every follow-up, every conversation.

Voices From Our Community

Real words from real people whose lives have been changed by compassionate, unhurried psychiatric care.

"
★★★★★
I had seen three different providers before coming to Victory Village. For the first time, someone actually sat down and listened to my full story. They didn't just hand me a prescription — they helped me understand why I was struggling. My life is genuinely different now.
— Marcus T., Patient
"
★★★★★
Getting a same-day appointment when I was at my worst was something I didn't think was possible. The care was thorough, compassionate, and completely changed my outlook. I can't recommend this practice enough to anyone who's been struggling.
— Jennifer R., Patient
"
★★★★★
The telehealth option was a lifesaver for me. I attend appointments from home, which removes so much anxiety. Victoria is incredibly knowledgeable, and I always feel like a person — not a number. Best mental health experience I've ever had.
