Glimmer- verb shine faintly with a wavering light. It is my most sincere belief that everyone deserves to live a life they enjoy living. And it is my belief that the ability to indulge in this is already inside you. As your therapist I am here to simply help you uncover and source what is already there. I invite you to become curious about yourself in the safe container of our sessions so that you can cultivate self-compassion in this process. I draw from my education, training and personal experiences in my work with clients. My approach is based on the idea that healing is a relational process: I will collaborate with you to create a space where the you feel safe, seen, and understood. I am EMDR therapy trained and with that in addition to polyvagal and somatic informed tools I will help you along your path of self-discovery. In my practice, I combine traditional and nontraditional methods to help you heal and explore through a process that is playful, accepting, and empathetic. During our sessions, we will focus on cultivating the awareness and skills that will help you find YOU. “we are all just walking eachother home” -ram das

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something isn't OK right now. That something might be new, or it might have been around a long time. You might be able to describe it perfectly, or you might just feel off without knowing why. Either way — you're here, and that's the only thing that matters right now. I start from wherever you are. No assumptions, no judgments, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just a genuine desire to understand you — what's brought you here, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping for. Therapy with me — whether you're coming alone or with a partner — tends to be honest and occasionally even a little lighthearted. The human experience isn't black and white, and neither is the work we'll do together. What stays consistent is that you'll have a space that belongs to you, where nothing you say or feel changes how I show up for you. For couples, that space belongs to both of you equally. I don't take sides. What I do is help you see the pattern you're both caught in — because most of the time it's the cycle doing the damage, not each other. When that shifts, something else becomes possible. No matter what it is you are navigating — depression, relationships, identity, or the gap between how you show up and how you actually feel inside — you don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

Hi! I'm Wen. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I help adults who are struggling to deal with everyday stressors and burnout. I empathetically listen to what you have to share and want to fully understand your situation before working collaboratively on solutions. I consider myself a direct person and try to break down the concepts that I teach into easily understood ideas.

Hi, I'm Nick! I specialize in helping people navigate the complexities of relationships, divorce, and dating. Whether you're struggling to make a relationship work, facing the uncertainty of divorce, or trying to rebuild your confidence and find meaningful connections afterward, I'm here to help you move forward. My approach to therapy is direct, practical, and focused on meaningful change. I believe that understanding our struggles is important, but understanding alone isn't always enough. Real progress happens when we take what we've learned about ourselves and put it into action. Having experienced divorce and the challenges of dating myself, I understand how overwhelming these transitions can feel. I also know that it's possible to come out the other side with greater confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. My goal is to help you do exactly that: understand what's holding you back, identify what you truly want, and develop the confidence and skills to build a life and relationships you're proud of.

Wherever you are in your journey: newly diagnosed, living with a diagnosis, reeling from a loss or death of a loved one, I am here to walk alongside you and provide the support, guidance, and release you might need. I am an LCSW with a background in grief, end of life, and chronic illness. Therapy is often needed in every step of this journey which can be both overwhelming and intense. My goal for each of my clients is to hold space for both the hard and the good as the journey is filled with both. Are you ready to take your next steps? Book a session today.

Hi there! My name is Jasmine Bonner, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a small private practice that I launched during my maternity leave last year. Outside of being a therapist, I am a wife, a mom to two little ones (ages 5 and 10 months), a sister, a daughter, and so much more. I know how easy it is to become defined by the titles we hold and the responsibilities we carry. That's why I encourage you to look a little deeper and reflect on who you are beyond those roles and who you want to become. Life is constantly lifing, and I understand how deeply exhausting it can be to keep showing up for everyone and everything while trying to hold yourself together. I genuinely enjoy holding space for individuals navigating the complexities of life, whether you're managing anxiety, working through past experiences, navigating a life transition, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself. It's easy to say, "I'm fine," put your feelings aside, and keep trucking. In our work together, I invite you to put the armor down, be present, and give yourself permission to show up as you are. Therapy can be a space to process, heal, grow, and create meaningful change. You deserve a space that is specifically for you a space where you feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered to become a more authentic version of yourself.

Are you feeling anxious? Unsure? Stuck? Disconnected? Disappointed? Do you feel like you are living a life that other people pushed you into instead of the life you want? I’m here to help you create a clear vision of who you are and a path for how you can reach that by breaking out of the patterns and cycles that are holding you back. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space in which we can work together to figure out what’s keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or confused, and determine how we can help you undo what is keeping you from the life that was meant for you. You have been hurting long enough.

Hi all, my name of Faye Miles and I am a Breast cancer survivor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and have been licensed since 2010. Do you find little happiness in your life? Do you find yourself anxious, depressed, unfilled in relationships, constantly comparing yourself to others? Or do you find little time for yourself always giving your all to your work or others? Have you been hurt by others and are looking for healing or experienced loss that has left you depleted? What if I told you, there are ways to live and feel happy and fulfilled. There are ways to heal. Self-love is important because it motivates much of our positive behavior while reducing harmful behavior. It both empowers us to take risks and to say no to things that don't work for us. It's a key component of building self-compassion. Self-love helps us take care of ourselves, lower stress, and strive for success and I strive to help adolescents, young adults and adults find fulfillment and happiness through exploration and exercises into their identity. This also can promote healing. I am passionate about this work and working with others and if you feel I am the right fit we will work together in this journey to help you explore, find resources and hopefully find self-love, and compassion.

Hi, I’m Faith Williams, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and the founder of The Place for Renewal Mental Health Counseling & Wellness. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself without having to pretend that you have everything figured out. Life can be hard. Sometimes you’re doing your best to keep going, but underneath it all, you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, hurting, or simply unsure of what comes next. You may have spent a long time taking care of everyone else and forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. I’m here to help you slow down, feel seen, and make sense of what you’re carrying. My approach is trauma-informed and draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we’ll focus on what you’re experiencing, what matters most to you, and the goals you want to work toward. My hope is that you leave our work together with greater clarity, stronger coping skills, and a deeper understanding of yourself. I want you to feel supported while also feeling empowered to grow. At The Place for Renewal, I believe your current circumstances don’t have to define your future. You can come as you are, start where you are, and take the next step from there. You can be restored. You can be transformed. You can be renewed. And sometimes, that journey begins with simply having someone walk alongside you.

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the states of Virginia, Kansas, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, and a Licensed Clinical Supervisor for the state of Virginia, with a passion for helping individuals navigate sex and relationship challenges, mental health disorders, personality disorders, grief, and overall mental wellness. My journey in this field began with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a minor in Psychology from Thiel College, and an Associate’s degree in Business Administration from Germanna Community College. I later earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. Pursuing excellence, I became a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist and obtained certification in Suicidology. Over time, my clinical focus has naturally evolved towards specializing in personality disorders and becoming a certified sex and relationship therapist. Known for my transparency, empathy, and a healthy dose of humor, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and supported. I also enjoy sharing my insights as a contributing author on sex and relationship issues for various online and print publications. Passionate about the importance of self-care, I love to unwind by hiking and camping in the mountains, soaking up the serenity of the ocean, and cherishing time with my family and friends. Despite having three amazing kids, I am (almost) equally obsessed with being a pet mom to my heavyweight feline companion, Perry, and my loveable, always-happy golden retriever, Murphy.

I understand that "starting counseling" or finding a new therapist can seem overwhelming. That “exhausted-before-I-even-begin” feeling is why I believe so deeply in the efficacy of "telehealth" counseling. . With telehealth, you can tuck into whatever space allows you to feel most at ease. With your coffee or your dog nearby, you don't have to leave your world to talk about your world. My clients often tell me they come into therapy feeling nervous or overwhelmed and eventually find themselves feeling comfortable, understood, and even looking forward to our sessions. That matters to me.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). I am licensed in Texas and Virginia. I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with no judgment. For example, I help adults struggling with career stress, relational challenges, and challenges with productivity (i.e., starting and completing tasks). I also work collaboratively with clients to identify underlying issues, set goals, and develop personalized treatment plans. I guide clients through the process to help build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster personal growth.

I am Dr. A.C. Fowlkes, a Virginia-licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working in complex behavioral health settings. I provide affirming therapy to LGBTQ+ clients, including transgender and gender-diverse individuals, as well as people navigating cancer and other major life transitions. In separate areas of my practice, I also work with individuals living with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and those with histories of sexual offending.

Hello, I am a LICSW from Massachusetts. I work most effectively with individuals struggling with identity, depression, and issues of stagnation in life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, and complex stressors, especially if complicated by varied relationship and familial dynamics. I aim to assist individuals desiring greater motivation, purpose, and self-determination following unresolved trauma and unforeseen hardships. I hope to support individuals seeking mental health stability, peace, and personal clarity.

Hello! I am an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based out of Lynchburg VA where I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For 5 years I have been practicing with this degree as well as practicing therapy techniques previously before receiving my degree. I focus on helping individuals challenge the parts of their life that cause the most distress and becoming empowered in order to continue practicing healthy coping and thought regulation. I strive to help those around me achieve a version on themselves that is less impacted by their struggles and more focused on their strengths.

I have a special place in my work for people who are tired of always having to be the strong one, the person everyone calls, the person who handles everything, the person who looks fine on the outside but knows there's a lot going on underneath. If that sounds familiar, I want therapy to be one place where you don't have to keep that up. With me, you can talk like yourself. You can laugh, you can cry, you can say "I don't know." We'll start wherever you are and go from there. Hi, I'm Keia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Virginia and Texas, and founder of Beyond Your Reflection Counseling Services, LLC. I'm glad you found your way here, and I want you to know I'm not here to judge your story, I'm here to help you understand it, work through it, and decide what you want the next part of it to look like. I know people come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes you know exactly what's wrong, and sometimes all you know is that something doesn't feel right anymore. Either way, you don't have to come into our first session with everything figured out. I've spent years working in community mental health, crisis intervention, and care management, supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life changes. I've learned that people don't always need someone telling them what they "should" be doing. They need someone who will really listen, understand what's happening, and help them figure out what comes next. That's the kind of therapist I am. CURRENTLY FULLY BOOKED FOR COUPLES SESSION! Thanks.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based care, with a focus on helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I work with children and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, and the complicated process of becoming more fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen and supported while also having practical tools to help you move toward the life and relationships you want. I don’t believe you need to be “fixed.” I believe you deserve a space to understand yourself with more compassion, reconnect with your strengths, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.

Hi there, I'm Asha. I'm both a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) as well as certified in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMH-C).

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, as well as considering if I am the therapist for you! www.discoveryourpeace.org

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Maryland. I received my Master's from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for 7 years. I help adults struggling with mood disorders, depression, and anxiety navigate their symptoms and find effective coping mechanisms to help them succeed. Using a variety of treatment modalities I aim to help clients grow while feeling supported and understood throughout the process.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Radford University in 2016 and have been practicing for about 10 years. I help adults who are struggling with different issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, etc. find an improved quality of life. No problem is too big or small to talk about.

I'm looking to partner with you to merge our strengths in order to discern which tools will be most effective in your journey. I have been working with children and their families my entire career. Since 2010, I have worked with children and their families as an intensive in-home counselor, a counselor and supervisor for therapeutic day treatment in the schools, an outpatient therapist and a residential treatment therapist. My Master of Social Work came from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. In addition, I have trained others in Suicide Prevention in order to break down the avoidance of conversation surrounding suicide. Prior to becoming a therapist, I graduated from Duke Divinity School with a Master of Religious Education, Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity and worked in the church as a minister. While my worldview is Christian and I hope everyone can have a spiritual journey, I am respectful of various views. I look forward to walking with you as you move toward a more meaningful life.

Welcome! I'm So Glad You're Here. I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist offering compassionate, client-centered therapy to adults (18+) across California, Hawaii, and Virginia. I provide telehealth therapy in all three states, with in-person sessions available in California. Whether you're navigating life transitions, experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or working through issues related to self-esteem, life transition, relationships, or coping skills, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. A Safe, Supportive Space to Be Your Authentic Self I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and eclectic—drawing from evidence-based modalities including: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment based, Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Therapy. I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences—because no two paths are the same. **Please note that I provide individual counseling for adults ages 18+. i do not provide couples counseling via telehealth.

No judgment, no pressure—just honest conversations and meaningful work toward feeling more like yourself. You might be my ideal client if you’re tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you have to figure everything out on your own. Whether you’re navigating relationships, life changes, anxiety, self-doubt, or simply wondering, “What now?”—you’re welcome here. Come as you are. We’ll figure it out together.

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!

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.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner, I am passionate about helping adults navigate addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life's many challenges and transitions. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where we can work together to build hope, healing, and lasting change. I have a special passion for working with adults in recovery, military members, veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals living with both mental health and substance use concerns. Whether you're facing a recent life change, feeling stuck, or have been carrying emotional pain for years, you don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll identify your strengths, explore what's getting in the way, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention strategies. I believe therapy is most effective when it combines compassion with practical skills that you can apply in your everyday life. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in intensive outpatient treatment, substance use recovery, and clinical leadership. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the resilience of the people I serve and reinforced my belief that meaningful change is possible, even during life's most difficult moments. Clients often describe me as approachable, compassionate, genuine, and easy to talk to. I believe healing begins with a trusting relationship, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover their strengths, overcome challenges, and create lives that feel healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling.

Hi there, I'm Susan. Have you been overwhelmed by juggling life's demands recently? Would you like to feel more confident in relationships and comfortable in your own skin? Are you finding it difficult to cope with change and loss? Reaching out for support is a big first step. As a licensed clinician in Virginia, Utah and Iowa with over two decades of experience, I will work collaboratively with you as a partner to explore solutions and help you reach your goals. My approach to counseling is to create a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming. I am very strengths-based and tailor my approach to your individual needs and preferences. The focus of my practice is working with women of all ages on concerns including anxiety and depression, self-esteem, body image, life changes, and relational challenges. I also have specialized training to help you process and heal from previous trauma. I love incorporating humor and creativity into our conversations as we navigate these difficult topics. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our work together.

Hello and welcome! I'm Diane, a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and Virginia. My passion is helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their personal and emotional well-being. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and positive change. My role as a counselor is to guide and support you on your journey, helping you to uncover your strengths and achieve your goals. Together, we will work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. I have an eclectic style that is influenced by a couple of different theoretical orientations. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I pull in different mindfulness and problem-solving techniques to assist you in creating more desired outcomes. Counseling is not a 'one size fits all' endeavor and I will take time to recognize what best suits your needs and goals.

Hi! I'm Terica Brown. Congratulations for the choice to invest in yourself! It can be a difficult proposition to choose to engage in therapy and you have made that choice. I believe therapy is one of the best things anyone can do to care for themselves. It's like a spa for your heart and mind; minus the spa amenities! I specialize in meeting people where they are in a down to earth way, assisting them with identifying their needs and goals, and working with them to address the issues that keep them stuck. One of the best things about therapy is no topic is off limits and the time is all about you! I've been a practicing clinician for over 20 years; working with people from age 5 to 90! I specialize in addressing relational conflicts, anxiety, depression, trauma and serious mental illness. I believe in addressing the whole person, because we take all of us with us everywhere we go. It's your time to walk into your greater and I want to be a part of the story you are creating.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which allows me to bring a comprehensive, well-rounded perspective to my work with clients. My passion lies in helping people move beyond survival and toward truly meaningful, fulfilling lives. I believe that each person has an inherent capacity for resilience, growth, and healing—and my role is to help you reconnect with that inner strength. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming emotions, life transitions, or long-standing challenges, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space and use evidence-based practices in sessions. Life brings both highs and lows, and growth often comes from how we face challenges and move toward healing. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by emotions and life stressors. Together, we can organize concerns, build coping strategies, and improve your quality of life.

If you’ve spent a long time feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or weighed down by things from your past, therapy can be a place to start understanding how those experiences have shaped you. I don’t believe therapy is just about getting rid of symptoms. Sometimes the things we struggle with can tell us a lot about ourselves, including what we need and what may be ready to change. I tend to be pretty active in sessions. I’m not someone who is just going to sit back and listen while you do all of the talking. I’ll share what I’m noticing, help you make connections, and give you things to think about or work on between sessions. I’m also interested in the deeper questions that can come up in therapy, like meaning, identity, intuition, and figuring out who you really are underneath all of the expectations and experiences that have shaped you. Ultimately, I want therapy to help you feel more like yourself, not less.

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.

Hello! I'm Kim (She/Her). Are you feeling "stuck" or overwhelmed? Life can be difficult, but you don't need to struggle through it alone.

I am a Licensed therapist as well as a Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner in Virginia, with over 25 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field.

My name is Amber (#TheUrbanConsciousTherapist) I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, graduating from Morgan State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s and a Doctorate degree in Social Work. I have experience supporting and working with children, adolescents, and adults who have encountered crises and trauma(s) and those dealing with depression, anxiety, high stress, transitions, grief, relationship problems, women’s issues, and race-gender schema (Strong Black Girl/Woman expectations).

If you're grappling with anxiety, stress, worry, or depression, know you've found a compassionate partner here to help. Since 2014, I've guided countless individuals to reclaim their lives, cultivating confidence and ease, no matter what challenges arise. My passion is witnessing your transformation from apprehension to peace. 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.

Greetings! My name is Brian. I am a licensed counselor in Pennsylvania. I have worked with both long-term and short-term clients in residential treatment and outpatient settings since 2010. My straightforward approach includes aspects of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Counseling. I encourage clients to think deeply about the underlying feelings that drive their actions to release pain. Thank you for taking the time to read my intro.

I'm a queer, trans, and neurodivergent Egyptian therapist experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ adults and adolescents. Although I take immense pride in these labels and in my communities, my therapeutic approach does not expect you to fit yourself neatly into any boxes. Instead, my role is to help you learn how to live in alignment with your specific values and priorities, particularly when it comes to figuring out the gray areas in life. It's tricky answering questions like, How do you reconnect with your heritage after experiencing it in hurtful ways? How do you heal from childhood trauma while preserving familial relationships that are still important to you? How do you build meaningful friendships and romantic relationships when self-love still feels like an enigma? These are the types of questions I particularly enjoy exploring with my clients. We will always take the time we need to figure out the concrete skills necessary for navigating daily life (e.g. emotional regulation, communication strategies, adaptive reframes for unhelpful thoughts, etc.), but the next level of growth lives in these nebulous existential questions. By compounding established skills with acceptance, psychological flexibility, and letting go of control where it is not adaptive, we can help you foster the kind of inner peace that adds both serenity and deeper meaning to daily life.

I work with individuals 16 and older, offering a supportive, collaborative space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is personalized and practical, blending mindfulness and tailored coping tools with thoughtful reflection to help clients navigate challenges, build insight, and create meaningful, long-lasting change. If you prefer to have a free 15 minute phone consultation before getting started, feel free to reach out!

My name is Dave Rogers, and I have been counseling professionally for over 30 years. I have worked at inpatient and residential treatment centers for Eating Disorders, and addictions, and as you can imagine - worked with families and loved ones impacted by these extremely difficult problems. I am so fortunate to have worked with gifted teams of professionals who taught me everything I know. I have also worked extensively as an outpatient therapist since 2011 when I opened my private practice. I heard a statement early in my career that impacted my practice of therapy greatly: "People don't care what you know, until they know you care". Research continues to verify that the quality of the therapy relationship is the foundation for all the other work. So - I do my very best to make a comfortable and supportive relationship from the start, because people often come to therapy with apprehension, fear, or bad experiences with therapy that cause them to be reluctant, or hesitant to open up and address their struggles and pain. One of my early goals in therapy is to listen so well, that the client says "you get me". I do my best to help clients heal, change, grow, and work toward contentment with themselves and life, as much as possible.

Twenty-five years of experience working with a wide range of individuals with a wide range of presenting problems and needs. I have helped individuals work through grief, trauma, adjustment disorders, difficult life transitions, acculturation issues and end of life counseling. I have helped many individuals gain new insights and coping abilities in managing chronic mood disorders, anxiety and fear disorders, personality disorders and impulse control disorders. I have experience working with addiction and recovery including compulsive gambling and sex addictions. I have also worked with individuals in various stages of commitment to change. I began my career working in community mental health serving individuals with severe and persistent mental illness/primary psychosis disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective, delusional and bipolar affective disorders. I have worked in a variety of settings within the mental health field including hospital settings, partial hospitalization settings, outpatient therapy, intensive case management, as well as remote services. I have been clinical director of two outpatient treatment centers. I have facilitated many therapy groups including anger management, anxiety management, wellness and recovery, co-occurring disorders and trauma-focused groups.

I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who believes healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I seek to promote wellness and empower clients to take an active role in directing their lives. I utilize a strengths-based, culturally responsive approach that recognizes that our well-being is shaped not only by personal experiences but also by the relationships, communities, cultures, and systems around us. My practice offers a nonjudgmental space to explore what has been weighing on you, reconnect with your strengths, and make choices that feel more aligned with your values and sense of self. Together, we can work toward meaningful change, greater self-trust, and a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.

Hi 👋🏽 I'm Dr. Judge! I specialize in supporting women and mothers through life's challenges, relationship concerns, and personal growth. This may include helping you manage anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, and burnout. Between motherhood, work, relationships, and the many responsibilities of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of your own needs. Maybe you're navigating a new season of motherhood, trying to communicate more effectively in your relationships, working on setting boundaries, or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself. I offer a warm, compassionate, faith-centered space where you can talk openly, gain perspective, and explore what matters most to you. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, having a space to think things through, understand yourself better, and consider new ways of approaching life's challenges can make a meaningful difference. My approach is relational, collaborative, and practical. I believe that feeling heard and understood is an important part of growth. Together, we explore your concerns, identify patterns, and develop strategies that support the life and relationships you want to build.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia, as well as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in North Carolina, with over 8 years of experience walking alongside individuals ages 16–55+ through life’s challenges. My passion is helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, mood changes, and the lingering effects of trauma. I feel especially honored to work with those recovering from narcissistic relationships or past trauma, who are now ready to rediscover and rebuild their sense of self after years of putting others’ needs before their own. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and empowering space where you can begin to heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self. My therapy style is collaborative, warm, and supportive—I believe in meeting you exactly where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward your goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we will find strategies and tools that fit who you are and support lasting change.

Hello, my name is Shurla and I am a Board Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Founder of Restorative Thoughts Counsel. I received a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Oakwood University. With over a decade of experience in social services and more than seven years dedicated to mental health care, I am deeply committed to fostering healing and growth.

We are responsible for our own choices, and sometimes for the choices of others. That responsibility can feel daunting, especially when change is already unfolding beneath the surface. I believe that asking for help is itself a courageous act of authenticity. My practice provides a direct, down-to-earth space for adults navigating major life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and pattern breaking, focusing entirely on real-time reality and practical tools you can use outside of our sessions.

As a Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, my hope is to engage in a collaborative therapeutic alliance with each individual & couple: fostering self-efficacy, developing new coping skills, focusing on strengths, and finding solutions that support your journey for self-discovery and overall healing. Using a framework of Person-Centered Therapy with techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions-focused Therapy & Mindfulness-based Techniques, will help you learn to manage reactions to challenges as you integrate new perspectives into your life.

Welcome, My name is Ariam Peña, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Virginia. I received my Master’s degree from Argosy University and have been practicing for over a decade. I help adults with the different challenges of life and pressures that often take the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and substance abuse. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

Let's reduce feelings of overwhelm, together. I am a Doctor of Social Work, trauma specialized, and clinically licensed in DC, VA, SC, RI and IN as a social worker and substance use disorder therapist serving children, teens, and adults (mandated and non-mandated). We can focus on anger, feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, panic, grief, always thinking, people pleasing, holding guilt and shame, inability to focus, nightmares, and so many other thoughts, feelings, experiences, and emotions that result from the environment around us. We can really lean into substance use and the agonizing cycle of it all. I am nationally certified in TF-CBT (ages 3-18), and CPT and PE trained for adults with PTSD. Additionally, you can receive mindfulness-based, somatic integration, and a holistic lens to examine your needs via my 11 years’ experience and an additional master's in integrative health coaching plus 20 years’ experience in therapeutic design, so we can look together at social and environmental problem and solution spaces based upon your needs. I've also worked for several years in urban public school systems, so can help students, caregivers, and educators navigating school-based stress. I am culturally humble and honor intersectionality. Thank YOU for reading about how we can partner to increase your feelings of hope and wellness.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Virginia and Florida with a passion for supporting adults who are navigating challenges such as addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, or the everyday stressors that can leave us feeling stuck. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted from carrying their struggles alone, wanting a safe and nonjudgmental space to be heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to help you build healthier ways of coping, strengthen your sense of self, and create the balance and peace you’ve been searching for.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical. My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you. I have experience working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses. In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships. When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Hi, My name is Tamyka Scott. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in treating anxiety, trauma, and perinatal mental health. I've worked in both community mental health and private practice using evidenced based approaches, particularly Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in building resilience and creating meaningful change.

Reaching out for help is a big step. I appreciate your courage in leaning into growth and problem-solving! I am excited to get to know more about you and how I might be supportive. I operate from a strong relationally-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and non-judgmental. I am very committed to building rapport, open communication, and assisting in helping you meet the goals you set, at the pace that you feel is appropriate. I believe in creating a nurturing, comfortable, and safe space for expression that promotes authentic exploration and insight. To tell you a bit about myself, I have been an independently licensed social worker since 2013 (undergrad degree in psych from Wheaton College; master's degree in social work from University of New England). I spent much of my earlier professional career working with children and families, primarily within the confluence of mental health and education, before transitioning into private practice with adults. My clinical approach is crafted for the person in front of me, drawing influence from varying forms of therapy in a multi-modal approach. My therapeutic skillset is strongest with individual challenges related to behavioral/emotional management (such as coping with strong feelings or life events and social/emotional/behavioral struggles), identity formation/re-formation/life transitions (exploring feelings of belonging, questions such as, "How do I figure out who I am/who I want to be/what I want to do with my life?"), and relational dynamics. I am also well-practiced in working with people who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. As stated above, it takes courage and strength in deciding to put the work into creating change in a positive direction. The fact that you are reading profiles is an accomplishment! I am here for you if/when you are ready, and look forward to celebrating your future achievements!

Hello! I’m so glad you took the first step to make meaningful change in your life. I’d love the opportunity to partner with you and learn about your strengths, struggles, and how we move forward together. I believe we all have the answers to the big questions in our lives, but sometimes we get stuck or need a non-judgmental perspective to help us. As someone who grew up in a military family and is now a military spouse, I understand the unique lifestyle and challenges that military spouses face. As someone who has experienced grief and the loss of a loved one to cancer and a baby to miscarriage, I can empathize with loss and the waves of despair that grief can bring. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and aim to meet you wherever you are, drawing on your experiences and providing you with tools to help guide you toward your goals.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia and also licensed to practice in Ohio. With 13 years of experience in the field, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, transitions, and seasons of life. I created my practice with the goal of providing a warm, compassionate, and judgement-free environment where clients can feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience--one where you feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. Starting counseling can feel vulnerable, and reaching out for support is an important first step. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Whether you're going through a difficult experience or simply want to better understand yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you. After 13 years in this field, I continue to believe that meaningful change begins with feeling safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported enough to take the next step. I look forward to getting to know you and working together toward a healthier, more fulfilling life!

Hello, I’m Krystie, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts, uncertain in their decision-making, or unfulfilled in their relationships, careers, or personal lives. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of negative thinking, emotional distress, or past experiences that continue to impact their present functioning. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Together, we will explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practical, skills-based strategies to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where clients can address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related experiences, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but it is a meaningful step toward growth and healing. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions so you can reengage with life in a way that feels fulfilling and aligned with your values.

If you can read this, you made the first step. Congratulations. Seeking therapy is hard. Most people delay and tell themselves that whatever they are experiencing must be the way life is. Chances are if you have reached the point to begin exploring therapy, counseling can help make your life better. While therapy is often hard, it can be an enjoyable and uplifting experience as well. I believe that you cannot laugh without a combination of insight and relief. You can expect some humor in most sessions. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. In that time I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on a wide variety of issues. Sometimes that work simply involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times our work together centered around longstanding issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. In addition to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, I also offer a fourth-wave therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I have found this technique to be highly effective in helping people with trauma and or anxiety. Our minds and bodies are connected. Anyone who has experienced a tight neck and shoulders or an upset stomach when they were stressed knows this. EFT uses acupressure (done by the client) and cognitive interventions to provide fast and effective relief. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I am ready to help you through the challenges you are facing. In addition to counseling, I also provide vocational testing, coaching, and consulting. I provide both Christian and secular counseling depending on the needs of my clients. For clients with high level confidentiality concerns due to corporate or clearance issues, there are ways we can do EFT without you ever speaking out loud about events.
