Hello, my name is Sally. For decades it has been my life mission to help people return to resiliency after setbacks, losses, pain, stress, and suffering. Resiliency means you still acknowledge and own the dark times in your life, but you are freed to return to creating, to feeling compassion instead of being needy and fatigued. Resiliency means your body, brain, hormones, and emotions are back in flow and in healthy relationships with others and the environment and that your mind is free to focus on the things you want and need to focus on. Often people come to therapy feeling stuck and feeling unable to change a situation or the suffering in their lives. Many times for life problems that just emerge, all you need to return to resiliency is more options to consider. Most successful outcomes involve finding the right combination of attacking certain aspects, embracing and loving certain aspects, simply letting go of some aspects, and avoiding some aspects of an issue. I bring a comprehensive set of tools and provide coaching on how you can put the right tools for you and your situation into action. In all cases, it is best to build on our strengths. However, in many cases - especially if your ‘weaknesses’ are connected to intractable and chronic pain or long-term damage, like in addictions, it is best not to ignore or push those problems and feelings down or to the back. I can help you navigate through the inner judges, critics, and defender parts back to a centered, reliable starting place. I help you find and connect a ‘good self to come from’. Sometimes emergent life challenges reveal the deep fault lines of old unresolved traumas. Often struggles with competency, completion, relationships, dependence, or other aspects of being consistently functional and resilient are rooted in unresolved events or relational traumas. I can help you make a journey map to get started in coping with and ultimately resolving those traumas. I can assist you in learning how to connect to and relate to those parts that are impediments to healthy relationships, body flow, and resiliency. The task is to reorganize clusters of feelings and find a starting place for change and balance.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to build a trusting, and collaborative relationship where you can be yourself while you explore challenges openly, and work toward the changes that matter most to you. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, which means I meet you where you are and honor your unique experiences, strengths, and perspectives. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and addiction, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and other life stressors. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients develop practical tools for managing emotions, coping with stress, improving communication, and building healthier patterns in their lives. Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out is often the first step toward healing. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling to cope, or simply looking for a space to grow, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you hope to become

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation rather than a clinical interview. My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves, speaking openly, and exploring difficult experiences without fear of judgment. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. While developing insight is important, I also believe therapy should help you translate that understanding into meaningful changes in your everyday life. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty into my work. Sometimes that means providing support and space to process what's happening. Other times, it means asking challenging questions, exploring patterns, or helping you consider a different perspective. Ultimately, my goal is to meet you where you are, work alongside you, and help you develop the confidence and tools to move toward the life you want to build.

Hello, I'm Lori! I'm a licensed LSCW living in Richmond, Virginia with my husband and 2 cuddly cats. Thanks for checking out my profile. Below you'll find a bit about my work experience and how it shapes what I do in sessions: I began my career as a music therapist and had the opportunity to work with a variety of settings, including community mental health, acute psychiatric, aging/memory care and with individuals with physical disabilities (or 'differently-abled' as I prefer to say!) As a young adult, I personally experienced issues with health anxiety, chronic pain/illness and neurodivergence that further fueled my passion and allowed me to discover my niche as a therapist. My personal and professional experiences have helped me understand the bigger picture of how mental health issues, trauma, and other systems can affect a person’s well-being. I enjoy working with people of all ages, but I have a particular interest in working with teens and adults experiencing mood disorders, issues with life transitions, neurodivergence (particulary late-diagnosed ADHD and women's issues), trauma and grief. I also have experience with using EMDR and somatic/body-based coping strategies in addition to traditional talk-therapy, and I love implementing creative arts therapies when able. Most importantly, I try to meet each person where they are and understand them in the context of their family, relationships, and everyday life. I am currently accepting new clients on a telehealth-only platform.

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.

Are you a woman facing big decisions? Navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics, parenting difficulties, career pivots? My background shapes how I approach therapy with clients facing such women's issues, which includes years as a licensed mental health counselor, but also as serving in senior leadership within higher education, supporting clients as a transformational coach, and balancing parenting along the way. This mix (and juggling act) gives me a practical understanding of how emotional wellbeing is often shaped by work, caregiving, relationships, and major life responsibilities. Many of the woman I work with are thoughtful, capable, and carrying more than others realize. They often appear highly functional on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, depleted, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves. I help clients slow things down enough to understand what is happening beneath the surface, identify what needs attention, and move forward in ways that feel grounded and realistic. I am licensed in Washington, Virginia, and Rhode Island, am a nationally certified counselor, and hold a doctorate in adult and higher education.

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 work with adolescents, adults, older adults, families, and athletes who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, or feelings of being stuck. Together, we'll explore the patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you deserve while building practical tools to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion. I believe healing begins with curiosity rather than criticism. Many of us have learned to accept our thoughts as facts or carry beliefs about ourselves that were shaped by painful experiences. Therapy offers an opportunity to gently examine those beliefs, develop new perspectives, and reconnect with your strengths and values. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care to help you build resilience, increase emotional well-being, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're looking for short-term support to work through a specific challenge or longer-term therapy to heal from past experiences, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and growth.

Hi, and welcome! I'm a counselor in Virginia, and I'm currently accepting new virtual clients. I work with adults going through big life changes, with a special focus on supporting women and LGBTQ+ clients. Many of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, or the ups and downs of a major transition. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your strengths. I'll meet you where you are and help you move forward with more clarity and confidence. I also offer sessions that include time with horses, held outdoors in a calm, peaceful setting. You don't need any horse experience, and there's no riding involved. These sessions can help you feel more grounded, build your confidence, and get more comfortable with your emotions. They're available in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County area.

Are you a teen or adult who needs assistance navigating the twists and turns in life? I offer a supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and work toward established goals. I am passionate about helping others navigate mental health challenges and find hope in recovery. My commitment to this work is informed not only by my professional training but also by my own lived experience with mental health symptoms and recovery from addiction. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to seek help and make lasting changes. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental space where you can work toward healing, growth, and resilience. We will work collaboratively to develop coping skills and strategies to help combat unwanted symptoms, while building resilience and fostering personal growth.

I am passionate about therapy and love working with individuals on their personal journeys for healing and growth. I approach each client individually with compassion, empathy, and support. I enjoy current research in the areas of women's health, wellness across the lifespan, and aging populations. I believe that each client brings their own experiences, culture, and background. I believe that the clients are the experts on their own lives. I function more as a guide as my clients learn more about themselves and meet their personal goals.

I'm Nicole! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and Virginia. As a young mom with a blended family, I understand the pressures of parenthood, co-parenting, relationships, and day-to-day stress. I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Services provider, specializing in women's issues and adult ADHD. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology, my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and my post-graduate certification in Advanced Counseling from Freed-Hardeman University. I have always been passionate about helping others, so therapy was a natural fit for me. I decided to specialize in ADHD after realizing that I had been undiagnosed until adulthood and struggled through my childhood and teen years, not realizing that ADHD was the culprit of that distress. I find joy in helping other people find freedom in embracing themselves and finding ways to overcoming or cope with the challenges ADHD presents on a daily basis.

Since 2008, I have partnered with individuals to help them navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful growth. My practice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), delivered through a structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach. Together, we identify precisely where you are today, define clear outcomes for your therapy, uncover the internal and external obstacles standing in your way, and engineer a concrete, actionable plan to overcome those hurdles. I view therapy as a true partnership. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to provide the framework, accountability, and clinical tools needed to move you forward. Crucially, I treat you as a whole person, taking a holistic approach that recognizes the deep, reciprocal relationship between physical and mental well-being. What happens in the body directly impacts the mind—from sleep, stress, and lifestyle factors to physical health—and addressing both is essential for lasting change. In addition to my clinical background, I serve as a Field Artillery Officer in the Army National Guard. This military experience brings a grounded, pragmatic edge to my practice. It has sharpened my leadership skills, high-stakes decision-making, and ability to remain adaptable under pressure—qualities that directly inform my clinical effectiveness. Whether addressing burnout, navigating career or life transitions, or breaking through persistent behavioral loops, I offer a disciplined yet compassionate environment tailored to your objectives. If you are ready to take an active, deliberate approach to your mental health and personal growth, I look forward to working alongside you to build the strategy that gets you there.
