Craig Steckowski is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based out of California and serves clients in both California and Virginia. He served in the Marine Corps prior to attending Alliant University in Irvine, CA for his therapy Master’s degree. After school, Craig then went on to work in Orange County. He was an advocate with the court system for mental health treatment and rehabilitation from chemical dependency. He also spent some time working for an agency that provided support to the homeless population and later, in a community clinic in New Hampshire where he helped to create services that met the needs of the community.
Each of these experiences helped to shape Craig’s philosophy toward therapy, which is that therapy should be a non-judgemental, welcoming space for his clients to be their unfiltered, authentic selves. “I just truly want therapy to be a place that you look forward to and value,” he wants clients to know. “It’s your space, and nothing you say, do, or experience is going to change my perception of you.”
His main goal as a therapist is to connect with his clients and offer them a place of solid, consistent, and positive support that they can depend on. He prioritizes maintaining a low enough caseload that clients can maintain a regular therapy schedule with him. He also encourages his clients to reach out between sessions if need be. “If you need me to be your hype man and help you through something, I’ll be there.”
In his free time, Craig focuses on doing things that help rejuvenate him which includes spending time outside and quality time with his wife. He also regularly seeks professional support from a trusted mentor in the field to ensure he is practicing mindfully and ethically.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been practicing for the last 10 years. After earning my degree, I worked as a psychologist in the United States Navy, in a variety of roles and settings, for several years and then started my private practice. I am looking forward to this next chapter and hoping I can be a part of yours as well!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Since 2011, I’ve worked in private practice supporting clients through the complexities of personal and professional life—with empathy, clarity, and a practical, solution-focused approach.
I specialize in working with busy professionals who are juggling demanding careers, life changes, and the weight of high expectations. Whether you’re navigating workplace burnout, relationship stress, anxiety, or grief, I’m here to help you find steadier ground and move forward with more balance and confidence.
Hi, I’m Samantha! I’ve been a clinician for over twelve years, and I genuinely love this work. My passion lies in helping clients tap into their strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives. Over the years, I’ve worked with people of all ages in schools, juvenile justice, and long-term care—experiences that have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.
As a mom, I understand firsthand how life can be both beautifully rewarding and incredibly overwhelming. I bring that perspective into my sessions—combining compassion, curiosity, and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth, real-world approach. Outside of my practice, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, organizing (yes, it’s my version of therapy!), and spending time with my family. Fun fact: I have a degree in Philosophy and even studied Japanese in high school!
Hi all, I am a talk therapist that works on providing a non-judgmental and safe place to discuss stressors.
I use Person Centered, mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an eclectic and holistic approach with my clients. **I incorporate dream interpretations, astrology, and tarot in sessions.** I will work with you and your chart to help you find ways to overcome challenges and find ways to balance your life.
I do not do paperwork for ESA, Court letters, school and any other factors outside of the standard Grow therapeutic notes.
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Florida, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts , with experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore yours thoughts and emotions. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness based techniques. I am passionate about supporting clients through times of change and personal growth.

Since 2014, I've guided countless individuals to reclaim their lives, cultivating confidence and ease, no matter what challenges arise.

A significant part of my expertise is dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals with ADHD. It's more than just focus; it's a unique way the brain processes information, impacting organization, emotions, and time perception. If you've felt misunderstood, struggled with procrastination, or been overwhelmed, I offer clarity and practical strategies. Many clients discover that by understanding their ADHD brain, they can harness its strengths and build systems that truly work, transforming struggles into paths to success and self-acceptance. My goal is to help you unlock your full potential.
Beyond these core areas, I recognize that life's complexities interweave. The anxiety or depression you experience might be exacerbated by big decisions you're struggling to make, or difficulties in navigating relationships. These can be isolating. I offer a supportive space to explore these complexities, developing effective communication and healthy boundaries. We'll empower you to make choices aligning with your values, fostering more peaceful and fulfilling connections in your life.

Hi, I'm a therapist with 15 years of experience and I know life can feel overwhelming sometimes. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood and never judged. I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your real self, talk openly and feel supported while working through challenges, healing and personal growth together.
Hi. I am Amanda (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, residing in Virginia. I have been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 11 years, with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. During this time, I have worked with some amazing people and had a front row seat to the beauty of change. My treatment approach is eclectic, integrative, and holistic. The most important part of my treatment approach is my ability to shift modalities to meet your needs/goals.
You’re the one everyone relies on—but lately, it feels like too much. You’re managing a demanding career, navigating ongoing health concerns or chronic pain, or facing the emotional weight of infertility. From the outside, it may look like you’re holding everything together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone in what you’re carrying.
I work with high-performing individuals who are used to pushing through—whether that’s at work, in their relationships, or through complex medical experiences—but are now feeling burned out, anxious, or disconnected. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and create space for you to feel supported, understood, and more like yourself again.
Clients often leave sessions feeling clearer, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate both the emotional and practical challenges of work, health, and life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions or grappling with uncertainty about how to manage them? It’s entirely understandable to notice patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of meaningful change, I’m here to walk alongside you and offer my support at every step.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and a Registered Electroneurodiagnostic Technician, I bring a wealth of experience from diverse clinical settings, including crisis response, detox facilities, and both individual and group therapy.
My approach is compassionate and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). Together, we will work to understand how your thoughts and emotions influence your actions. With CBT, we can gently identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that may be holding you back. MI will provide a space for you to explore and address any ambivalence about change, helping you uncover your motivation for growth. Through SFT, we will focus on your unique strengths and practical solutions that resonate with your goals.
In our work together, we will explore both current challenges and past experiences to gain insight into how they shape your life today. I am deeply committed to supporting the holistic healing of your mind, body, and spirit, tailoring my approach to honor your unique journey.
You don’t have to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or everyday stress alone. Wherever you find yourself on this path—whether you’re seeking help for the first time or returning for deeper work—you are taking a brave and vital step.
Hello I'm Sherie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker i Virginia with over 20 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, woman's issues, career challenges, OCD. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse issues.

As a neurodivergent Black woman living with a chronic illness and mother of three adult children, two of whom identify with the LGBTQ+ commmunity, I am always interested in the deeper question people carry about their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years showing up for others, meeting expectations, and doing what seemed like the responsible thing to do. At some point, though, many begin to notice a quiet sense that something no longer fits.
My work centers around helping people slow down enough to understand what is actually happening beneath that feeling. Together we look at the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself and the choices available to you. From that place, people often begin to rediscover a clearer sense of who they are and what direction their lives might take moving forward.
I am especially drawn to working with adults navigating identity shifts, relationship transitions, and moments in life where the path forward is no longer obvious.
I am Aaliyah Holiday, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Christie's Circle PLLC, a virtual therapy practice built specifically with Black adults in mind.
I created this practice because I believe that Black men and women deserve a therapeutic space that does not require them to code-switch, over-explain, or shrink their experiences to be understood. A space where your grief is taken seriously, your faith is respected without judgment, and your cultural identity is seen as a strength rather than a footnote.
My work is rooted in grief therapy, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based healing. I specialize in supporting Black adults who are carrying hidden grief, whether that is the loss of a relationship, a miscarriage, a career, an identity, or a version of themselves that quietly slipped away. I also work with Black professionals who are burned out, overwhelmed, and struggling to hold everything together while rarely making space for their own emotional needs.
As a Certified Grief-Informed Professional, I bring both clinical training and genuine compassion to every session. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and culturally responsive approaches, including racial trauma treatment, to help clients move from survival mode into a place of real emotional stability and peace.
For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that honors your faith while holding space for any complicated feelings you may have about the church. Healing here is never one size fits all.
I provide virtual therapy sessions to clients in Texas, Virginia, and Maine. If you are ready for a therapist who truly gets it, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Welcome, I am Virginia and it is so nice to meet you! Thank you for taking this first step in feeling better, I believe this is the hardest one because people generally don't wake up one morning and desire to include a stranger in on their personal thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and troublesome behaviors. I hope to be a helpful fellow traveler to you and I am happy to let you be in the drivers seat regarding your treatment, I have lot's of suggestions - but they each only work if you put them to use:-)
Hello! I am Jennifer and I am ready to meet you! My experience and joy is working with children and adults who have ADHD, autism, and anxiety.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) based in Michigan, but I also serve individuals in Virginia. I received my Masters from Widener University in 2021. I have worked in many different settings, providing mental health treatment to individuals. Some of these settings are inpatient behavioral health units, outpatient group therapy programs, and community-based settings. I have a wide array of treatment models that I have learned over the years, utilizing these with my clients to help them explore their thoughts and feelings while providing a healing environment. I now provide individual therapy to adults, adolescents and children.
I also possess a Bachelor in Recreational Therapy from Central Michigan University, earned in 2009. I worked as a Recreational Therapist for over 15 years, working with children with developmental disabilities in the community, and then transitioned to working with adults and children's in various mental health settings. I continue to encourage a healthy leisure lifestyle with my clients, discussing the importance of self-care, self-esteem and cultivating self-worth. Having fun and finding the joy in life is a part of healing from a mental health crisis.
If the times on my schedule don't work for you, please make an appointment and message me with a better time and/or day and I can change it based on my availability. I am able to see clients during the day outside of what my calendar availability shows but on a limited schedule. I always try to be as flexible as I can to meet the needs of my clients. :-) If you need same day appointment, I always try to accommodate for my clients.
No show policy: All I ask is to be communicated with, even last minute. I know life can happen pretty quickly but without any communication, it is a $100 cancellation fee.

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have a PhD in Psychology, a Master of Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and has been practicing since 2011. I have experience in working with adults and children with a history of inpatient mental health treatment, substance abuse, and crisis management. I have also worked alongside families and children in the juvenile justice system.
Hi! I am Stephen Kovacs a licensed clinical social worker with 5 years of experience helping adults who feel constantly “on edge” from anxiety and panic—always braced for the next shoe to drop, even when life looks fine from the outside. I’m licensed as an LISW-CP in South Carolina and an LCSW in North Carolina and Virginia, and I see clients via telehealth who are located in those states.
My focus is on high-responsibility adults who are tired of living in survival mode: racing thoughts, worst‑case scenarios, physical symptoms like a racing heart or tight chest, and the burnout that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what anxiety and panic are doing in your body and your life, and build concrete tools to manage spirals, reduce avoidance, and feel more in control day to day—not with fluffy advice, but with step‑by‑step, doable changes.
Welcome. Wherever you are on your life journey, I am glad you are here. Healing is not about becoming someone new — it is about remembering who you are beneath the conditioning, survival patterns, and expectations that have pulled you away from living in alignment with your authentic self.
Influenced by ecotherapy practices and sacred plant wisdom, I honor the intelligence of both the psyche and the natural world in supporting emotional, spiritual, and nervous system healing.
You do not need to be fixed. You do deserve a space where all parts of you are welcome — a place where healing is not about perfection, but about living more fully, honestly, and in connection with your soul purpose.
I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others.
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion.
When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.

Hello. Thank you for stopping in. I have over twenty years of clinical practice working with adults. Much of my clinical experience has been working with our Military and Veterans. I appreciate working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. As my client I will engage you in broad conversation about how you are functioning and together we will develop strategies and skills to improve your day to day life. Although therapy is a place of 'work' therapy is also a place where you can expect to feel listen to and know your opinion matters. I frequently hear clients tell me they looked forward to their next session. So, in the tone of 'looking forward' I hope to meet you soon.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and practice in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. I have been providing therapy for close to 15 years to help my client address mental health symptoms including depression, trauma, life transitions and anxiety. I believe people are inherently capable of managing their circumstances but sometimes require some assistance from a therapist to succeed.
Greetings! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my MS in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. Although I recently became an LPC in 2025, I was formally trained and have worked as a Functional Family Therapy Counselor and Qualified Mental Health Counselor (for Adults and Children) since 2017. I also hold a Master of Education in Special Education and have worked for over 15 years as a Special Educator and Administrator.
Since 2022, I have been an outpatient therapy clinician, working with clients from diverse backgrounds, ages, and mental health needs.
I am Kaneka Hall, a licensed clinical social worker. I have over 13 years of experience in various settings and various populations including military/veteran, children, adults as well as the geriatric population in community and hospital settings including long-term care/nursing homes. I specialized in disorders such as anxiety, depression and ADHD as well as situational challenges such as family conflict, relationship and peer challenges, life transitions, and religious and cultural challenges.
Everyone needs help from time to time. I enjoy helping people to find their strengths; their gifts, talents and abilities that they were created with. Whether you’re experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or just feeling stuck, therapy can provide a safe place to work things out and find solutions that are right for you.
I find that many people are helped by connection with a therapist, someone who will listen, but also use their training and experience, bringing that into the relationship.
I’m a therapist who works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and high-functioning, yet find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or patterns in relationships that don’t feel fulfilling. You may understand why you do what you do, but still feel unsure how to change it.
In our work together, I focus on helping you connect the dots between your past experiences, current patterns, and the goals you have for your life. Through a collaborative and supportive process, we build both insight and practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Over time, this work often leads to healthier relationships, improved emotional balance, and a stronger sense of self.

I have over 15 years of experience providing therapeutic support to individuals navigating mental health and addiction-related challenges in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with children (ages 6 and up), adolescents, and adults, helping them manage life’s difficulties and emotional stressors with compassion and evidence-based care.
My therapeutic approach integrates Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Brief Psychodynamic interventions to address symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse.

I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Master of Arts in International Studies from East Carolina University. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I also offer therapy services to Spanish-speaking individuals.
Hello and welcome. I really enjoy getting to know people and building genuine connections as we move through the ups and downs of life together. In our work, we might focus on relationships, managing stress, improving communication, navigating life transitions, and finding steadiness with emotions and thoughts. We can also make space to understand past experiences, explore patterns in dating and intimacy, and work toward a more balanced and meaningful life. I’m especially interested in the parts of ourselves that don’t always get attention—the quieter or “hidden” pieces that often have a lot to teach us. If you’re willing to show up as you are, I’ll meet you there with care and consistency. Thank you for being here.
Hi, My name is Kristel. I am an LCSW who provides talk therapy via Telehealth. I am a multifaceted individual with a deep well of life experiences that inform my perspective. As a former military brat and spouse (married 18 years), working mother, single mother, trauma survivor, I've intimately understood the complexities of life's transitions. My journey has taken me from being a stay-at-home mom to transitioning back into the workforce, granting me a unique appreciation for both roles.
I'm a devoted mother of two children, and my path has been marked by significant challenges, including the struggle with infertility and profound grief. I proudly identify as a feminist and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. These aspects of my identity deeply influence my approach to life and work.
With a background in working with families, individuals, and children, I bring a wealth of experience. My personal journey has shaped my empathetic, compassionate, and inclusive perspective, which I offer as a source of support and understanding to those I work with.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over 9 years of experience providing compassionate and effective counseling services. Letting someone in and seeking support is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. I truly believe that we all carry inner wisdom but at times that voice can be difficult to hear. A strong therapeutic relationship can help bring that wisdom to the surface so that it stays with you long after therapy ends.
Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. I have been practicing and supporting my communities for over nine (9) years and thoroughly enjoy what I do. I am a certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) and provide support using an integrative therapeutic approach when working with my clients.
An integrative therapeutic approach means, I listen, observe, and engage in various empirically based therapies such as, but not limited to, Person-centered, CBT, ACT, solution-focused, expressive art, or mindfulness, while also addressing therapy from a more holistic approach.
In a session, the client may explore the conscious and unconscious mind in order to have a deeper understanding of themself, and the world around them. They may lean into seeking greater understanding of their life's journey and the meaning behind it. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, focusing on a more integrated approach to a person's therapeutic journey while providing a secure, encouraging environment that will foster growth and healing.
Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. I want to recognize the courage it takes to begin this process. Whether you're feeling a mix of hope, confusion, or relief, simply being here is a significant step toward your mental health goals.
I work hard to create an environment that is safe and down to earth where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges related to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from the self-criticism and stuck patterns that keep life feeling heavy. In our sessions, you can expect honest, grounding conversations that help you slow down, get clear on what you need, and start moving in a direction that actually feels like you.
Counseling offers the space to figure out the 'how' — whether that's rebuilding, resting, or simply learning to be who you are. If something here clicked for you, trust that. Schedule a session and let's start building something better together.
Stuck in a rut in life? Feel like you are going through the motions every day or experiencing anxiety that is controlling your life? I help treat conditions such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship conflict, burnout, poor self-esteem. Throughout counseling you will have a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place to talk where you will learn tools, skills that can help you be in a better place in your life. It takes courage to seek help taking the first step and I want to be there to support you through your journey toward reaching your goals. Throughout counseling I use evidence-based counseling interventions to help promote positive change in your life one step at a time.

My focus includes assisting clients with grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, offering support and guidance through these difficult times.
Hi, I’m Tamar.
I take a calm, grounded approach to therapy, using reflective listening to help you gain personal insight and engage in meaningful self-exploration. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I see my role as a supportive guide and resource along the way. My style is laid-back and down-to-earth—I listen first, speak second. I also incorporate psychoeducation, somatic techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions to support healing and growth in practical, accessible ways.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My style is warm, collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical, balancing effective coping strategies with deeper exploration of the emotional or relational patterns contributing to distress. Therapy with me is a space where honesty is welcomed, shame is reduced, and clients are not judged for being human. While the work can be serious, sessions do not have to be heavy every moment—humor and genuine human connection absolutely have a place in the process.
When your storm feels like it is just too hard, you don't have to do it on your own. I'd love to guide you on the path with finding the light in even your darkest storm and look forward to cheering you on when you find the rainbows! I utilize a holistic approach in addition to evidenced-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and brief solution focused therapy to help you on your journey.
Finding your peace, demanding your peace, and maintaining your peace are all important qualities to help maintain your mental health. I'm especially passionate about passionate about working with children and families by helping children find their voice, build emotional awareness, and develop the confidence to express themselves in healthy and meaningful ways and I have extensive experience supporting family reunification and strengthening relationships impacted by conflict, separation, or life transitions.
I was drawn to the counseling field after recognizing a critical need in the community. I'm passionate about breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and creating a safe, welcoming space where individuals feel empowered to seek support without fear or judgement.
My vision is rooted in the belief that storms are a natural part of life but within every storm is the opportunity for growth, healing, and transformation. I am committed to walking alongside my clients through every stage of their journey, helping them to discover peace, calm, and serenity even in the midst of life's most difficult moments.
Greetings,
My name is Louise, I am located in Virginia, and I hope this message finds you well. I am married, the mother of one grown child, and the grandmother of one. I want to introduce myself as someone who is passionate about helping others overcome life's challenges. If you've experienced childhood trauma, the loss of a loved one, or are struggling with work/life balance, I would be honored to collaborate with you. Using evidenced-based tools, we can explore your biopsychosocial and spiritual world to find your resources and areas to strengthen. My goal is to help you feel more at peace and understand why you react to certain situations the way you do. During our time together, I will provide a safe, empathetic, and objective environment for you to explore these areas of your life.
With a background in teaching, biochemistry, and mental health treatment, as well as personal life experiences, I am here to help you discuss areas that are stressing you and utilize tools that will grow your toolbox.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Take care!
Hello. I'm Brenda.
Are you ready to make a change? Do you feel overwhelmed with life and are seeking skills to help you meet it head on? Do you need a safe place to examine situations from your past that are holding you back?
I am an enthusiastic listener who is experienced in building non-judgmental therapeutic relationships in order to meet you where you are and work together to establish and meet your goals. Together, we’ll explore the difficulties you are experiencing, and work to effect a positive change. We’ll build resiliency and learn new coping skills that will allow you to better manage your emotions as you traverse stressful situations. We can also integrate mindfulness, yoga and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Self-care is important, and you are taking the first step by searching for a therapist.
I look forward to your call so that we can get started on our journey together.
Welcome! I’m Dr. Judge, a psychotherapist specializing in women’s mental health. If you’ve been carrying the emotional weight of motherhood, relationships, or simply trying to hold everything together, I want you to know you are not alone. I understand the words "I'm tired of being strong!" I offer a safe, compassionate, faith-centered space where you can finally exhale, feel understood, and begin healing.
Alongside my clinical training, I bring personal understanding shaped by marriage, divorce, motherhood, and the heartbreak of miscarriage. I know life can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed by pain no one else fully sees. I believe God meets us tenderly in those hardest moments and restores our strength. My goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and renewed in mind, body, and spirit.
I specialize in working with women who often appear capable, organized, and “on top of things” externally, while internally feeling anxious, emotionally drained, and overwhelmed. Many of the women I work with are balancing the invisible mental load of motherhood, work, and relationships while quietly struggling with burnout, identity loss, loneliness.
In our work together, I help you slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Many women arrive feeling constantly “on” mental overload, emotionally depleted, or unable to rest.
A central focus of my work is helping you reconnect with yourself. Therapy becomes a space where you no longer have to ignore your own needs or carry everything by yourself. Together, we explore who you are now, what you need, and how to create a life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and emotionally fulfilling. Therapy with me is a supportive space where you are deeply seen, heard, and cared for. You do not have to keep struggling alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.
I am Veronica Watkins, a dedicated Holistic Christian Psychotherapist specializing in integrating faith-based principles with evidence-based psychotherapy practices. Licensed in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, I am committed to providing compassionate and personalized therapy to individuals seeking to harmonize their mental health and spiritual well-being.
Looking for purpose? Trying to understand life? Hard transition from or to the league? Questioning God? At the end of your rope? I may not have the answers, but I can help you process your questions, your thoughts, and your situations. I’m here to team with you through this journey. I can partner with you and provide the needed support through life transitions, self-exploration, and self-development. Whether you are someone seeking to understand your thoughts and behaviors, a couple looking to improve your relationship, or an athlete seeking an unbiased listening ear, I’m the therapist for you.
