  Victoria Bones is one of the only reunification counselors currently accepting new clients in Southern ******. That's why unfortunately the court ordered her to be assigned to work with my child and I. The problem is she has been doing this for over *********************************************************************************************************** to even get some kind of client satisfaction ratio... They seem to just take her word as gospel. I can see now why there exist so many negative reviews regarding this woman. I would also like to point out that not only is she a reunification counselor with troubled familial relationships, she is also a couple's therapist, a social worker, etc. This woman has her hands dipped in so many cookie jars that she seems to often forget her clients and their situations. There's been multiple times where you will have to reach out to her at least 5:10 15 times just to get a response. Her way of counseling is also very zig zag and not linear. She does not care of the outcome or at least that is what I perceive. She only cares about the paying party and unfortunately it is crooked.

  Victoria Bones presents herself as a kind, caring, empathetic woman who wants the best for children and families. This couldn't be further from the truth. Victoria Bones, while presenting herself in a constantly favorable light, is biased, manipulative, and a blatant lair. She does not follow her own procedural guidelines, nor does she follow OFCC guidelines to par. I thought Victoria cared about helping families when in reality she only cares about helping the family member that pays for her service (and a little extra on the side). I've spoken with dozens of other custody evaluators all over ****** and Washington and the consensus about Victoria Bones seems to be the same: she simply can't do her job and has proven time and time in and out of court she only cares about her own interest and the wants of the paying party. Every other evaluator I spoke to had nothing but negative things to say about Victoria, and now we can all see why.Despite her negative reviews of not only myself but my family, we still got her nonsense evaluation thrown out as she didn't follow guidelines and blatantly lied under oath. She lied to my daughter, manipulated evidence, withheld information, and wasted over a year playing fill-in mommy to the other party and cared about that more than the child in question. She lied in her report and spent more time victim shaming a **** victim than doing her job. Aren't therapists and counselors taught better? Clearly she missed that week of training as she laughed when talking about disclosure of a ****.Retirement age is 62 in ******. Victoria should have crossed that bridge 20 years ago. If you want to waste years of your life, put your child through trauma and manipulation, and only end up with a batty old cook caring more about how great she and her mentors are, than ******* Bones is right for you!
