I have over 25 years of experience working with teens, adults, families, and couples in multiple community-based settings and agencies. I have been a licensed therapist since 2016 and I hold an Ed.S in counseling from Hampton University. I employ a holistic approach, incorporating several research-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices to help reduce emotional stress and build resilience, while ensuring you feel truly seen, heard and supported. Reach out today to start the journey. Let’s work together to help you find the balance and peace you deserve.
I try to create a collaborative relationship between myself and the client. I have the belief that our thoughts are directly connected to how we feel. By working with clients to solve present-day problems it helps the client approach a stronger and healthier sense of self by focusing on the actual lived experience of a person. By helping clients gradually face and come to realize that their assumptions, evaluations and beliefs might be unhealthy and unrealistic. Having the client be aware even after they have learned to recognize when and where their mental processes have gone wrong, it can in some cases take considerable time or effort to replace a dysfunctional process or habit with a more reasonable and adaptive one.

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 and teenagers 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 Andrea Claiborne, LCSW, therapist, author, wife, mother, and the owner and CEO of QuoVadis Counseling PLLC.
At QuoVadis Counseling, I believe therapy is more than simply addressing what has happened in your life—it’s about understanding where you are, discovering where you want to go, and developing the tools to help you get there. QuoVadis is Latin for “Where are you going?” and that question is at the heart of my practice.

I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, encourage their confidence in relationships, and help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.
I am a compassionate, client-centered therapist who works with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and issues related to self-worth and identity. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to better understand themselves and their patterns. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices while honoring each client’s values, strengths, and lived experiences.
As a Therapist/Life Coach and owner of Journeys of Life Therapeutic Resources, I'm passionate about helping individuals transition into their best selves. I approach my work as a "transitioner," rather than a traditional therapist, guiding and supporting clients through life's challenges and towards personal growth.

At Journeys of Life Therapeutic Resources, I understand that every person's journey is unique.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness.
I am a LCSW with 20 years of experience working with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, burnout and other mental health issues. I help identify root issues and work with my clients to better understand their therapeutic goals. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing challenges in their lives or relationships. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative and tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change and I am here to support you on your journey towards greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.
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.
Greetings! When life gets to be overwhelming, more than you can handle, or maybe just at a point where you need some professional and unbiased guidance, I can help. My treatment approach is from an ecIectic lens. I am here to meet you where you are. No two people are exactly the same, and as such, they should not be treated with the same approach and techniques. I believe that being a competent, and ethical clinician, with great listening skills is paramount to providing optimal care.
I use evidence based methods for connecting the mind, body, and soul. I provide therapy to adult individuals, couples, families, and groups. My primary treatment modalities include CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I help clients navigate the challenges of life, heal, and reach their treatment goals.
Hello! My name is Kody and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or navigating significant life transitions. Many of my clients are women working to rediscover themselves, parents trying to find balance, or individuals with ADHD seeking greater self-understanding.
My goal is to provide a supportive, down-to-earth space where clients feel understood, gain deeper self-awareness, build healthier coping skills and relationships, and create lasting change that helps them feel more confident, connected, and aligned with the life they want to live.
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, I’m Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I support individual adults navigating anxiety, Attention‑Deficit–related disorders (including ADHD), identity exploration, stress, and life transitions. My style is collaborative and emotionally attuned, offering a steady, nonjudgmental space for growth. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and identities and hold space without judgment for the full range of human experience.
I bring lived experience with ADHD, a learning disability, and the emotional challenges of navigating body image in a culture that often ties worth to appearance. I help clients understand how their patterns and past experiences shape their emotional world, including shame, internalized criticism, and body‑related emotions. I also support individuals dealing with body dysphoria and self‑esteem concerns rooted in distorted or critical self‑perception, and I use simple body‑based grounding skills—like tapping—to support regulation and presence.
I don’t provide diagnostic evaluations, including those related to neurodivergent conditions, learning disabilities, or autism, and I don’t offer EMDR. I help clients connect with the right resources while continuing our work in a grounded, supportive way.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience guiding individuals, couples, and families toward healing and transformation. As a retired veteran, pastor, and therapist, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, life experience, and faith-based wisdom to my practice. I believe true healing starts with prayer. Prayer is the lifeline to our relationship with God, the foundation of our healing process. In our pursuit of health and restoration, prayer validates our deep-seated desires for renewal and supports our mental and physical well-being. It ignites a direct line to God’s heart, where healing is amplified, and transformation takes place. Through this connection, we gain strength, clarity, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with faith and resilience.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across the lifespan, including children, teens, and adults. I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, and I integrate mindfulness as a core component of my therapeutic approach.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. While I work as a full-time school counselor and part-time therapist, supporting others has always been at the center of my work.

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.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, or major life changes begin to take over. My goal is to provide a place where you feel heard, respected, and challenged to grow. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems—it should help you develop practical tools that create lasting change.

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 a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. I also have achieved status as a Virginia Board Approved Supervisor for LPC and LMFT Residents. I hold a Master in Science degree from North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also obtained a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy during graduate studies. I have served clients in the outpatient and community setting. My initial experience was established by providing Intensive In-Home services for at-risk youth and families in the home setting. I have progressed to conducting client comprehensive assessments and have established an outpatient therapy caseload. As a Clinical Supervisor at a community-based facility, I provide clinical supervision to Qualified Mental Health Professionals, review and maintain compliance, and assist with other leadership tasks.
