Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor who has been working in the field for over 30 years. I am predominantly a cognitive behavioral/rational living therapist who focuses on you, the client, and your relationship with yourself and creating the existence you've always wanted. I have a dry sense of humor and believe that honesty with my clients is the way to help them reach their goals. My therapy style is conversational, so I offer feedback and input throughout the session as opposed to sitting silently, and I give homework to help each client work on the skills we've discussed in session. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey! When scheduling your first session, please choose a day that is at least one week from today. Once I see your booking, I will reach out to you to collect information and forward you your intake paperwork. All clients must be at least 21 years of age in order to book. Thank you!

I am a bilingual therapist with over 10 years of experience. I bring a culturally grounded, compassionate lens to my work with individuals from all walks of life. I have extensive experience across a wide range of evidence-based and insight-oriented modalities, and I tailor therapy to meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to ensure you feel genuinely seen and heard, and create a space that is safe. I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist as I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I use psychodynamic principles to help uncover early relational patterns, unconscious beliefs, and internal dynamics that may be influencing your present experience. For many years, I have specialized in Cognitive Processing Therapy —particularly with Veterans working through trauma-related symptoms. My approach is always trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally sensitive, focusing on helping clients process and shift painful beliefs rooted in traumatic experiences. I also like to integrate mindfulness-based strategies to guide individuals in exploring and processing challenging emotions, empowering them to develop healthier coping mechanisms. No matter your background or what brings you to therapy, you deserve support that feels affirming and effective. My role is to walk beside you as you explore healing, growth, and meaningful change.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and fulfillment, and therapy can be a powerful step toward reaching that potential. I work with women and men who are managing stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or significant life transitions such as parenthood, career shifts, or relationship changes. Many of my clients are striving to balance multiple roles while also wanting to prioritize their own happiness and well-being. In our work together, I may use different modalities such psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, and group therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. We may explore underlying patterns, identify and shift unhelpful thought processes, and build on existing strengths. My role is to support clients in gaining insight, developing effective coping tools, and creating healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. Clients often leave therapy with a deeper sense of self, improved resilience, and the confidence to make meaningful changes. My mission is to empower both women and men to move beyond what holds them back and build lives of balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

I'm your partner! Let's navigate life's challenges as they emerge. I'm your partner that supports you in building those healthy coping skills that already exists within; a healthier version of your self. It's like my Texas sister Beyonce' says "Let me upgrade you". As the times change, we must have the ability to upgrade the manner in which we embrace and manage the impact of those changes such as changes in job, relocation, death of a loved one or family member, empty-nesters, transitioning into a caretaker role for a parent , child, or sibling.... I have an interesting educational background as I presently have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University, A Master's of Social Work from The University of New England and presently working towards a Doctorate of Psychology in Behavioral Health Leadership. In my free time I love to eat seafood and spend time with my family. I hope to partner with you soon as you are the expert of your life.

Hello! I'm licensed in the states of TX, SC, VA, MN, and NV to provide therapeutic services and hold an additional certification for treating those with anxiety. I most enjoy empowering individuals who struggle with self-esteem or identity issues, who are having relationship difficulties, or have let their overthinking tendencies consume too much of their life. I believe life is too short to live in constant anxiety and mentally beating ourselves up. My goal is to help people build more self-compassion and self-confidence to regain control of their mental health and lives. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. There is no benefit to this, yet many of us do this unconsciously on a daily basis. So why do we do it? Let's explore some of those reasons together and identify steps to take to address this emotionally draining behavior. I use an eclectic approach in the therapy I provide, understanding that every client's needs are different, and one client's needs can even vary every session. I want to meet you where you're at each session using techniques from a few different modalities I've come to know and enjoy using. I'm here to provide a nonjudgemental listening ear, while also encouraging you to make those changes you've always wanted to make when you're ready. Just know that you don't have to be alone in this. So if you’re ready to take back control of your life, you’re in the right place! ***no availability beyond 5pm CT***

Hi, I am a Licensed counselor practicing in Virginia. I graduated from Radford University with my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 1992, becoming licensed in 2002.

I understand that life can be overwhelming and we all need someone to listen at times. It can be helpful to evaluate our lives, problems or certain situations in a safe and confidential setting. Current stressors, such as problems with work, family, romantic relationships or finances can make it difficult to function adequately. I have been working as a counseling psychologist for over 10 years with most of my experience with adult individuals. I enjoy conducting therapy with people from different backgrounds and have worked successfully with individuals who have experienced various types of trauma, such as childhood abuse, sexual or physical assaults, combat or domestic violence. I am also experienced in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, anger management problems, or problem solving deficits. Making health behavior changes, such as behavior activation or weight management, can be achieved via therapy and I have successfully worked with individuals who wanted to improve their health. I am originally from Germany and I speak English and German. I also lived in Switzerland and England for a while. I studied Psychology in the United States and graduated with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.

You’re showing up for everyone else—but when was the last time you showed up for yourself? Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, addiction, or simply trying to make it through the day. Hi, I’m Vanecia Storms, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I help adults get real about what they’re feeling, reconnect with their strengths, and take powerful steps forward—without the pressure to be perfect. Therapy with me is a space where you can exhale, be heard, and maybe even laugh a little. Whether you're adjusting to a life change, overwhelmed by expectations, or struggling with past patterns, I’ll meet you where you are—with compassion, humor, and proven strategies for change.

Clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! Together, we'll co-create a balanced approach combining active listening with practical techniques, helping you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles. My clinical and holistic approach aims for deeper alignment and fulfillment—think more water, less soda. As an LCSW, I'm trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and am a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your wants, needs, and emotions. You know yourself best, and our work is about uncovering your truths rather than imposing mine. Together, we'll determine the tools and approaches that best suit your needs, ensuring you feel heard, validated, and empowered. The goal is to help you confidently manage challenges independently over time. We'll walk side-by-side, with you gradually taking the lead and me offering steady support. If you have pressing concerns, those always take precedence. Our sessions focus on understanding HOW you think, not just WHAT you think, exploring both conscious and unconscious beliefs and emotions. You'll leave with clear, actionable steps, such as mindfulness exercises, creative writing prompts, meditation, and breathwork techniques to regulate emotions and reclaim your narrative. Therapy isn't about fixing what's "broken" but enhancing alignment and fulfillment while overcoming obstacles. By focusing on your goals and measuring progress, we can eliminate stigma, leaving shame behind and empowering you toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment.
