Hi, I’m Tiffany. I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and relationship challenges, as well as those seeking structured support and accountability to reach their full potential. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed therapy, and Gottman Method–informed couples therapy to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relational patterns. I provide a supportive, goal-oriented space with a strong focus on resilience, emotional regulation, and meaningful personal growth.

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.

Hello, welcome to my practice! You can call me Dr. J. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Social Work, specializing in mental health education. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional IIn (CCTPII) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). My professional work is informed by both extensive clinical training and deeply rooted life experience. I was raised by my grandmother and grew up surrounded by a large extended family where substance use disorders and mental illness were present. These experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, compassion, and the long-term effects of unaddressed emotional pain. I am a Christian, a wife, a mother of two young adult children, and a grandmother to three. I have also experienced three miscarriages and a previous divorce, this has deepened my sensitivity to grief, healing, and life’s most difficult transitions. My faith is central to who I am. When appropriate and aligned with a client’s values, I integrate scripture and faith-based principles into the session. Clinically, I specialize in helping women manage anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, bipolar disorder, and chronic medical conditions impacted by mental health challenges. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused strategies—grounded in compassion, understanding, and clinical integrity. I believe that all people are born precious and free. Along life’s journey, challenges may leave individuals feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. I am here to help you examine areas where you may feel stuck, while honoring your autonomy and inner strength. Therapy is a space for reflection, self-awareness, and growth—free from judgment and negative self-talk. Therapy can be life-changing. I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you as you move toward healing, clarity, and wholeness.

Hi, my name is Stephen As a Christian do you ever feel like you are letting God down, or like you are not being faithful enough because you have real-life problems? Problems In your relationship, emotionally, behaviorally, or even with substance abuse. Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage their anxiety, depression, or burnout by addressing the needs of your body, mind, and spirit using the bible. I integrate current counseling theories with sound biblical principles to help develop a stronger relationship with God, and a stronger you. Whether you are dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. Seeking therapy can seem scary and maybe even against some of the teachings you've learned in church, but you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together I will meet with you, and your spouse if you want, with compassion and evidence-based techniques while using biblical principles so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. The research says that 1 in 4 people in the United States, at any given time, have mental health issues. This does not exclude the church. The average church in Virginia has 250 members attending on any given Sunday. That means that at least fifty people in your church service last Sunday are struggling with some type of mental illness or emotional problem. I work with churches to help them with ministering to the hurting, please let me help you.

Warm Greetings! Taking the step to seek therapy is a brave and commendable decision, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and growth. Therapy, to me, is a safe space where you can release the weight of your burdens and cultivate the courage to embrace gradual changes, one step at a time. I embrace a holistic approach to counseling, incorporating evidence-based techniques to help clients uncover and address mental blocks that contribute to unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and habits.

Life is hard and sometimes we need help navigating through it. So many of us have those negative thoughts / beliefs that play out in our mind, some from early childhood trauma, others from ourselves. I can help you get rid of those negative messages and reduce or eliminate any symptoms that are a result of those messages and improve your life. I believe that a lot of us have beliefs/ thoughts that are a source of distress, does not matter if / when they started, it matters that they are distressing. There is a lot of negative out there and it is easy to focus on that and not what the positive that you are doing. A lot of people need help in seeing the positive there are doing and being validated for their feelings/actions. I meet the person where they are and will tailor the sessions with input from you to what best meets your needs. I am eclectic. I will provide education on different trauma treatment modalities to provide you the information that will help you decide the treatment modality that works best for you.

Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to share those feelings with the people closest to us. Past experiences often have a way of creeping into the present—maybe you’ve wondered why you react a certain way or find yourself repeating patterns that don’t serve you. Together, we can get to the root of these struggles, work on healing the past, and create a more balanced present. Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, but you’ve already taken that first step by being here. Give yourself grace as you move through this decision. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can begin your journey of self-discovery and healing. I take a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. Just as no two days are the same, no two clients are the same. I believe you are the expert in your life—you may not feel like you have the answers right now, but together, we’ll find what works best for you.

I enjoy being able to help others reach their goals and feel more emotional stability overall. I have experience assisting and supporting clients overcome and cope with depression, anxiety, grief, issues specific to women, low self-esteem and body image.

Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. My clinical experiences began in acute psychiatric treatment facilities and have taken me through a variety of environments and populations to include adolescents as well as adults. I feel the therapeutic relationship can produce change through hard work and guidance as well as creativity and persistence. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important foundations for change.

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 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.

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 love working with the elderly, couples who suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. I have experience working with the severely mentally ill for more than thirty years.

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my nearly twenty years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My primary focus is on helping you deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I try and help you be okay with things that are beyond your control and work with you to establish yourself as the protagonist in your own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

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

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted. I most love helping people find language to describe their losses, often when there has been difficulty finding the words, inspiring people to find hope again, and facilitate the development of a plan to move forward in a way that both honors their experiences and embraces the future. I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing. I strongly believe that rock bottom is the foundation upon which we can rebuild our lives. We do regular check-ins to review progress along the way. Our goal is not to change the past, but instead to find some relief from symptoms that impact daily functioning. I will solicit feedback regularly during sessions for takeaways to gauge progress and curate treatment interventions based on what is most engaging and productive for the individual client.

I have been working with individuals struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use, sexual addiction, and mental health challenges for the past ten years.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

Hello and welcome! I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Much of my career has been spent in healthcare in crisis response, giving me deep understanding of the unique, emotional toll faced by healthcare professional professionals, first responders, and others working in high stress environments, I specialize in supporting individuals who are coping with trauma and PTSD, and I also work with women navigating infertility, prenatal and postpartum challenges. These experiences can be incredibly isolating, and my goal is to offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where healing and connection can begin. My therapeutic approach is grounded in trauma informed care as well as evidence -based practices. I am certified in EMDR (Eye movement desensitization, and reprocessing). IFS, (Internal family systems), and CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy, I understand the impact of chronic stress, grief, and unresolved trauma on both mental and physical health. Whether you’re coping with burnout, navigating complex personal emotions or working through traumatic experiences, my goal is to provide a safe and collaborative space for healing and growth. I offer in person as well as telehealth appointments to accommodate your schedule and comfort level.

I help adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, and life transitions create meaningful and lasting change. Using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), TF-CBT, and skills-based interventions, I provide structured, goal-oriented therapy in a supportive and collaborative environment. My work focuses on helping you regulate emotions, process traumatic experiences, improve communication, and build healthier thought patterns. Together, we identify patterns that feel stuck — whether related to self-worth, attachment wounds, workplace stress, or unresolved trauma — and develop practical tools to increase resilience and emotional stability. I aim to create a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and empowered. My goal is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with a grounded, confident version of yourself so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.

Hi, I’m Courtney Flores Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or major life transitions, helping them feel more grounded and in control of their lives. I take a collaborative, practical approach—balancing insight with tools you can actually use day-to-day. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported while exploring your experiences and building strategies that make life feel a little easier and more fulfilling. I love helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and stronger connections with themselves and the people who matter most. Therapy with me is about understanding your story and finding ways to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.

I work with people who are ready to slow down, look inward, and truly start feeling more like themselves again. I specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions like break ups and divorce, job loss, or starting something new. My goal as a therapist is to help people figure out how to feel better, find out more about themselves, and face tough decisions.
