LMHC, 11 years of experience
Hello there, My name is Virginia B. Gaddis , and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am a people person; and as such have a passion for helping people. I received my Masters in Counseling from Barry University and specialize in Mental Health Counseling & Marriage and Family Therapy. I am currently completing my PhD in Counseling and Psychology. Since graduating I have worked as an outpatient therapist, a youth counselor, a Family Court specialist and a victim advocate for the police. Mental Health and Family are my life passions. Working in different arenas has allowed me to see how mental health applies and affects all areas of life.
During an initial session or intake assessment I like to ask clients questions to get to know them better, what brings them to counseling, and what their goals are for our time together.
I am an empath, and pride myself in being able to truly understand my clients. My appreciation for people and my desire to help people live a fuller life are some of my biggest strengths.
Anxiety, Depression, Family Counseling, Mood Disorders, Clients struggling with life transitions
I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR therapist. I have used EMDR to help clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, etc.
Solution-focused therapy helps clients see things from a different perspective. It is eye-opening and truly changes one's frame of mind.

Absolutely amazing! I was nervous to get back into therapy, but she was so open minded and welcoming. Made me feel able to open up and really felt like I was being listened too. Highly recommend to those getting back into therapy!
