Hello I am Laura Cahill! I am a passionate, energetic, and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a love for the art of engagement in the work of therapy. Do you feel like your emotions have taken over and pushed you out of the driver's seat in life? In life, we often experience challenges, unexpected stress and transitions, trauma, hurt, grief and loss. Understandably, we may struggle with powerful emotions that seem to almost overtake us. Part of the human experience is wanting to feel in control of our inner and outer lives. And when our natural emotional responses to difficult experiences and circumstances threaten that sense of control, we may find ourselves fighting our feelings. It’s time to step back from the battle-not by retreating, but by re-framing. Our emotions and feelings are not our enemies, they are messengers. This is where our work begins. We will focus on how to hear those messages by learning the skills needed to hear, manage and interact with these feelings to help calm the turmoil that life has taken on, understand and recover from the past, and to be fully present to our current experiences. To have the opportunity to create a life that is built on your terms and not defined by what has happened to you. Entering into the world of therapy can feel overwhelming and a bit scary (well done making it this far). I applaud your bravery and commitment to your process of healing and recovery and I would be honored to have the opportunity to get to know you better and to be a part of this journey with you.

We will use a holistic approach that is designed to meet your individualized needs and goals and empowering you to be the individual you want to be. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, or experiencing cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. It is time for you to make the choice to live a healthier life, to embrace the resilient person you are. You deserve a safe space to work through life’s challenges. I will meet with you with compassion, empathy and evidenced-based techniques so you can take off the mask you have been wearing for so long and be your authentic self. Looking forward to helping you start a new chapter in your life.

My name is Leila Kandahari, and I have ten years of experience providing mental health services for individuals seeking independence, quality of life, and social justice who are also diagnosed with a mental health condition or/and substance use disorder. I count it as a privilege to be invited to walk with individuals as they navigate some of their most vulnerable moments and significant life events. As a therapist and social worker, I have practiced in various public, private, and non-profit settings. When I start working with people, I meet them "where they are" to ensure they are moving with their pace.

Feeling like you can't quite keep it together? Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the stresses in life and need help sorting them out. Maybe you've just hit a low point or feeling overly worried and anxious. Talking to a therapist has helped many people who are feeling the same way. The last two years have been more than difficult, and people are struggling. I help people figure out what's working well for them and what's not. Then we explore together the many strengths and skills you already have and can use to overcome the problems life throws at us. I teach new skills and introduce new tools that you can use to feel better and get your life back on track. I have many years of experience working with people with depression and anxiety as well as bipolar and schizophrenia. I am accepting of varying types of diversity and use solution focused methods with compassion and caring to create and meet the therapeutic goals that are unique to you. Starting therapy can be hard but it can change your life. I would love to work with you to start that process and look forward to meeting you.

Hi, my name is Sharon. I’m a military spouse of 26 years and counting, with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. Traveling the country and meeting people from all walks of life helped solidify my passion and desire to help others achieve their personal self-care goals and become the best versions of themselves. Caring for others is my small way of helping to make a difference in the lives of others during these challenges times. I believe in treating the whole person, the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects. When we are centered and have balance in those areas, it is my belief that we thrive and feel more confident that we can cope when faced with any challenge. I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, mild cognitive impairment, couple’s communication, anger management and more. I help you identify the challenging areas of your life and identify your strengths while learning new ways of thinking and behaving to achieve you self-identified therapy goals. In therapy, I promote self-autonomy, self-advocacy, and prioritizing your needs. I find that it is rare that my clients do not know what needs to change in their lives but how to begin making those changes and acting on that change consistently is where the challenge often lies. Rest assured that you will have a mentor, coach, teacher, and avid listener every step of the way. If you are willing to commit to your self-care through courage, consistency, and hard work, you can expect to walk away from our time together with a better sense of self, feeling more confident that you can handle daily life challenges, a tool chest of skills, and with an overall sense of well-being.

Life is not easy, and problems are never simple. In my view, therapy is offering guidance and support to ordinary people dealing with extraordinary circumstances. Together, we will work to make the changes that are most important to you. I use a collaborative approach, working to fully understand the issues that you are facing. My goal is to create a safe space leaving you with no doubt that you are heard and valued. I provide the necessary support allowing you to face the overwhelming, and often daunting, life circumstances that you may not have been able to address on your own. Trust is a key factor in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that helping individuals learn to trust in their ability to change is paramount.

Hi there! My name is Zahrah and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia. We often face many ups and downs throughout our lives, and I am passionate about helping others navigate these challenges. Creating harmony between our personal life, work, or school can help us feel hopeful, and secure in who we are. Using a person centered, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach, my goal is to help others discover healthy ways to manage their stress, anxiety, or depression. The first step to building ourselves up is admitting when we cannot manage the challenges and demands of life on our own. This is why creating a safe, and non-judgmental space is key in a therapeutic relationship.

***Please schedule appointments on the hour*** My friend, let me ask you this: do you ever feel like you have things you need to say but no one to say them to? Do you think your thoughts are irrational and just stuff them down? Are you feeling alone in your struggles? I’ve got good news for you: If you’re reading this, you’re already taking a step toward getting well! Congratulations; I’m proud of you already! Ok, read on! A lot of times a person feels like his or her issues are so big that it’s overwhelming to even get started on the road to wellness. People get defeated before they even make a move. Listen, I know how this goes; I’ve been there too. Let’s talk it out! Hey Mike, what the heck is a psychotherapist anyway? Sounds scary! Great question! A psychotherapist is a general term for someone who uses talk therapy (or psychotherapy) to work through issues you may need a little extra help to get through. Talk therapy is like a release valve for your emotions; if you don’t let these emotions out periodically, they build up and manifest themselves as anxiety, depression and more. My job is to help you loosen that valve up and enrich your life! If it’s ok with you, I’d love to set up a session to talk. Let me put some of that experience to work for you. I’ve worked with all ages from adolescents to the elderly. I’ve got a safe space waiting; all you have to do is reach out!

Hello, my name is Courtney, but I go by CC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia and Maryland. I have been in the field for 7+ years, working with clients in various areas, including; crisis counseling, in-home therapy, family therapy, hospitalization, and foster care. I have primarily worked with clients who have suffered from depression, anxiety, mood disorders, conduct disorders, co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, family conflict, and many more in all those fields. Those are significant ways of saying that I have worked with a wide range of problems and a range of client populations. I am an eclectic counselor who believes that every client is different and deserves a unique treatment plan created together. I will work diligently alongside you, creating a treatment plan that will help you reach your goals in counseling. I also deem confidentiality most important and will always protect your rights in our counseling relationship. Seeking out counseling can often feel scary and overwhelming, and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, accepted, and cared for. Not only is it my job to help others, but it has been a passion engraved in me since I was a kid. Other than confidentiality, I believe that listening to my clients makes the most difference. The last thing a hurting person needs is another person giving them advice. I focus on listening to my clients and hearing their needs and wants. Once I have grasped the issues at hand, together, we will work on bringing you to a healthier place where you feel at peace. If you want to be heard and understood, then I am the counselor for you, so go ahead, take this next step with me and let's begin the journey of becoming you you want to be!
