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. 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. I believe that you cannot laugh without a combination of insight and relief. You can expect some humor in most sessions. 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.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia. I am also a Christian and a Veteran. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and have experience in working with an array of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I strive to provide an environment that fosters mutual trust and respect but still hold to my deep held values. I recognize the challenge individuals face when acknowledging the need for help and taking the first step towards addressing their issues. Understanding the reluctance to admit vulnerability, I am dedicated to making this initial step more accessible. I emphasize importance of addressing habits, hurts, and hang-ups to foster mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth and healing. Drawing parallels with seeking medical help for physical ailments, I believe mental health should be approached with the same level of importance. While acknowledging that the journey to healing is neither quick nor easy, I am committed to providing support and guidance to help individuals navigate this pathway.

I did my undergraduate at Florida State University, and moved to Virginia to attend Eastern Virginia Medical School, where I studied clinical counseling and received my Master’s in Art Therapy. As a military spouse, we relocated many times, having to redevelop my career each duty station, which gave me a myriad of experiences with various populations. This has lead me to focus on occupational counseling and the effects of stress on our mental health. My passion for treatment is trauma and life experiences that lead us to feel fearful, unsafe, and saddened; sometimes with no explanation as to why we feel the way we do. I work with my client’s in a person-centered format with cognitive-behavioral underpinnings and psychoeducation to not only work through and build a better understanding of ourselves but the experiences and beliefs that built us and ways to endure and build resiliency to better manager those feelings so they are not as overwhelming in the future.

Greetings, my name is John Luke. I am a licensed clinical social worker and specialize in helping people to effectively manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns using cognitive behavioral techniques. I have worked with a range of populations, nearly all ages, and also have experience with addiction treatment and life-coaching. I work with people to develop insight into the source of their problems, how their core beliefs about the world might be hindering their progress, and focus on their natural strengths to overcome those barriers with practical skills that generate sustainable change. Some of my other specialties include short-term, solution-focused therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy techniques; psychodynamic approaches; and marital counseling. Some of the problems I am particularly keen on solving with my clients include issues with self-image and confidence; dating and relationships; boundary-setting and assertive communication; as well as general anxiety management; and learning to identify and productively resolve emotional unrest. I am also very experienced in cognitive restructuring, which is just a fancy way of saying helping to change the way a person thinks about the world and their place in it. I also enjoy aiding people in goal setting and identification, meaning-making, and navigating family conflicts. If you feel any of this could be helpful or useful to you, please do not hesitate to reach out! (Note: I do work with couples, but only on a cash-pay basis. Also, I only work with ages 18+)

Hey, I’m Brittany! Do you feel anxiety, grief, or unsure by life changes and transitions? Are you struggling in relationships with your spouse, friends, or family? Do you find it difficult to set boundaries or use assertive communication? I help individuals manage symptoms of anxiety, grief, and depression caused by life transitions. Together, we can identify strengths you already have as an individual to help navigate these life changes and develop effective coping skills. In addition, I assist individuals with relational issues. Relationships are a huge part of our lives, so learning how to effectively communicate and set boundaries can help take our relationships to the next level. Throughout our sessions, I take a person-centered and holistic approach to mental health. We will incorporate mindfulness in addition to coping skills that best work for you! I understand starting therapy can be scary. I’ll meet you where you are emotionally with compassion and utilize evidence-based techniques to help you reach your goals!

Social work is my passion and it has been for over 17 years. I have worked in a variety of settings using different treatment modalities. As I began working in the field as a substance abuse counselor, I recognized how great the need was in mental health and the challenges many individuals have faced as a result of trauma. My experience in providing years of group therapy helped me realize that there were many individuals who could benefit from therapy in a smaller context on an individual level. My experience includes corrections, community mental health, and working with active-duty service members and veterans. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work at Longwood University in 2003 and Master of Science Degree in Social Work from Capella University in 2019.
