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.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Intrepid Change, where I provide individual therapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions.
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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that people are often stronger, more resilient, and more capable than they realize. My role is to help clients uncover those strengths, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, low self-confidence, relationship difficulties, and identity shifts. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, and practical problem-solving, I help clients understand not only what they are feeling, but why they are feeling it.
Together, we explore the cycles that often drive distress. Many people find themselves reacting automatically to triggers, conflict, uncertainty, or emotional demands in ways that once helped them feel safe but no longer serve them. Therapy provides a space to slow down, recognize those patterns, and create opportunities for different choices.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe healing begins when we can move from simply surviving to understanding ourselves with greater compassion and intention. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, or feeling stuck in familiar patterns, I aim to help you reconnect with your strengths and build confidence in your ability to move forward

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. While my colleagues may call me Dr. T, in counseling I'm just Melanie.

Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.

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.

My work as a therapist has given me the privilege of supporting people from many different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. Through these experiences, I've come to appreciate that while our stories are unique, many of us share similar struggles: wanting to feel connected, understood, accepted, and at peace within ourselves. I view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, self compassion, and growth. Whether you're navigating a difficult chapter or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I aim to provide a space where healing, insight, and meaningful change can emerge.

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.

Welcome. Here you are seen, supported, and safe in a serene, culturally attuned, LGBTQIA+2 affirming space.
I’m Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with more than 22 years of active study in human development. I work exclusively through virtual care, supporting adults navigating anxiety, ADHD related experiences, identity exploration, and major life transitions. I help adults find clarity, steadiness, and self‑trust during moments that feel overwhelming. I show up as a steady, emotionally attuned guide for clients who want a space where their internal world is taken seriously.
I practice from a primarily agnostic perspective and welcome clients from all cultural and spiritual backgrounds. I have been providing telehealth services for 1.5 years, and my approach is collaborative, grounded, and shaped by lived experiences including ADHD, a learning disability, body image challenges, and parenting a gender‑fluid child. I remain open to learning what each client needs to feel supported, regulated, and connected in their treatment.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
