I am a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with 12+ years of professional work experience. I hold a BA in psychology, MA in clinical psychology, MA in educational leadership, PhD in counselor education and supervision, and a DBA with a focus in management. When I work with clients, listening to understand instead of hearing to respond is a priority. I believe it is imperative that I develop a sound understanding of my client's subjective worldview to meet them where they are and disrupt maladaptive thoughts and patterns of behavior. My objective is to collaborate with my clients in order to help them identify, address, and resolve matters that reinforce and/or contribute to their presenting concern(s). I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, anxiety, adjustment issues, college and career readiness, couples, depression, family dynamics, gender identity, identity development, LGBT+, non-traditional relationships, men's issues. In our work together, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Hello, my name is Michelle. I believe therapy is a time to examine internalized experiences that shape our perspectives and behaviors. Engaging in introspective work together can challenge us to reframe maladaptive thoughts. I aim to assist clients with managing emotional dysregulation and symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I hope to foster growth and strengthen coping skills during difficult transitional points in a person’s life. I am interested in exploring my clients' family of origin and attachment styles. I have a special sensitivity to sociocultural factors and intergenerational trauma. I embrace the complexities that make up the lived experiences of my clients and affirm their unique identities.

Hi there—I'm really glad you found your way here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, also licensed in New York. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Fordham University. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. I’ve worked in schools, crisis response, foster care, and psychotherapy settings, which means I bring a grounded, adaptable approach to therapy. I understand how different systems shape people’s lives, and I aim to create a space that’s flexible, affirming, and tailored to each person’s pace and needs. I’m a down-to-earth listener, a practical problem solver, and I love helping people make sense of what feels overwhelming. I often describe therapy as working on a jigsaw puzzle together. We start with what’s clear and slowly fill in the rest, piece by piece. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’ll be right there with you. Scheduling note: I reserve Mondays for new client intakes to keep my weekly rhythm structured. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to help us get a sense of fit before scheduling a full session. During intake, we’ll walk through my weekly schedule and find a time that works well for ongoing sessions. Cancellation policy: No-shows or repeated same-day cancellations may result in a fee. I approach these situations with compassion and flexibility—while honoring the time we set aside together.

"True success is the predictable result of hard work, patience, sacrifice & learning put into practice everyday." - Unknown Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.

Life, at times, can present us with extraordinary challenges and circumstances leaving us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, and even hopeless. Emotions from present or past experiences can become so burdensome that we develop unhealthy ways to cope. Symptoms may become so elevated that they affect our ability to function and interrupt family or social relationships. What I provide is an opportunity to process life's difficulties with someone who cares and has the clinical knowledge to assist you with gaining insight and understanding while developing new strategies and coping skills to manage your mental health day by day. I offer primarily CBT therapy with a person-centered trauma-informed focus.

I am Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, ADHD, mood shifts, PTSD-related symptoms, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and emotionally attuned, rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth can flourish. I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, and Humanistic modalities to support clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change. To support clarity and reduce distractions, I use Grow Therapy’s HIPAA- and PHI-compliant transcribe system. This secure tool is optional, but it is my preferred method. It helps me stay focused and present, especially when navigating executive functioning challenges. Many clients find the written record grounding and empowering, and it allows us to focus more fully on your story and goals. My clinical foundation was shaped early through lived experience. I grew up alongside my father, Dr. David Hartman, a psychiatrist and disability rights advocate whose memoir White Coat, White Cane chronicles his journey as the first blind physician to graduate medical school in the United States. Supporting his work and speaking publicly as a teen instilled in me a lifelong commitment to inclusive care and strengths-based advocacy. One of my father’s guiding beliefs continues to shape my work: “All of us are handicapped in some way.” It reminds me that every client carries invisible challenges. Healing begins when those challenges are met with dignity, respect, and in a non-judgmental environment. I may occasionally use constructive self-disclosure to support insight and trust. This is always done with intention, clear boundaries, and respect for your therapeutic goals. I also use secure tools to support accurate documentation and reduce cognitive load, especially when navigating executive functioning demands. Therapy should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Whether navigating neurodivergence or seeking a space to be heard, I am here with insight and respect.

Please read my profile carefully before scheduling an appointment. **I AM ACCEPTING NEW EMDR CLIENTS ONLY. ****I do not offer talk therapy***** **IMPORTANT:::: PLEASE SCHEDULE IN ANY SLOT. THIS WILL NOT BE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT. WE WILL SET THAT AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK.** Greetings! I'm so glad that this website has led you to this profile so I can say CONGRATS on taking the first step towards mental health counseling. I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in the Commonwealth of Virginia trained in EMDR. I have been in this field for 10 years. I have provided therapy in a variety of settings that include community health centers, juvenile detentions, county jail, and private practice, and currently work as a full-time crisis clinician for a community service board. Through these settings, I have had the opportunity to treat many conditions like ADHD, ODD, many personality disorders, PTSD, Major Depression Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar and addiction. I believe that everyone has a story and believe that everyone has the right to tell that story, their worries, desires, and goals in a supportive, unbiased environment. I am always honored when a client chooses me to be the therapist to guide and support them through their mental health journey. The best part about mental health concerns/addiction is that recovery exists. You are the driver to that recovery and you are at the beginning of that road. I can help you identify barriers and help you explore coping skills and other resources to be successful in mental health recovery or your goals.

I am Natalie Edwards, a multi-state licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years in the mental health field. I am experienced in working with couples who are looking for support, clarity and problem solving skills in a safe, non-judgmental space. Please rest assure that you have come to the right place for guidance. It's great that you recognize the benefits of processing your emotions and concerns with a therapist who can help guide you in working through the challenges. The idea of you considering therapy tells me that you are looking for change to take place because something you are or aren't doing is no longer working. This is where change happens...this is a very solution-drive space. The sessions are actively engaging, honest, direct, and transformative. We don't get to just talk about it here; we do something about it. Through challenging exercises, role-plays, dissecting, and insightful discussions; we see change. Your expectations and openness to learn new skills is significant to the process of the positive change you can be proud of.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida who works with young adults navigating their transitions into adulthood, adults struggling to balance her work and family life, and older adults helping them find meaning in their lives. I think therapy works best when it feels like you're talking to someone who's on your team—someone who gets where you're coming from, isn't afraid to ask the tough questions, and helps you figure out what actually works for you in real life. My approach is personalized- I meet you where you are and tailor our work to support your unique goals. For young adults, we work on finding ways to manage stress and work on improving relationships. In working with adults, treatment can be focused on managing anxiety, navigating difficult transitions in life, and improving relationships. For elderly adults, we can focus on finding meaning in life, working through family issues, and building a stronger support network. My goal is to create a strong foundation for our work together and help you feel comfortable and ready to begin your journey toward greater well-being.

I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, but I especially enjoy helping adults navigate the ups and downs of life. My background includes working in community agencies, private practice, and with military families, which has given me a wide range of experience with challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. As a military spouse myself, I understand firsthand how stressful transitions, deployments, and constant changes can feel. I bring that personal perspective into my work, along with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

Populations I have assisted in their journey to mental health and wellness include college students, adults, and the elderly; physically handicapped, intellectually disabled, emotionally disturbed, and seriously mentally ill. My life experiences have molded me into a genuinely empathetic clinician who is able to connect with clients and help to empower them as they heal and grow. I am also a mother and hold a full time position in a state job, so my clients will be asked to be flexible with me from time to time. I return flexibility to them with respect, as I will explain in the first session.
