Therapists in Virginia

My name is Julianne Toy, and I am a licensed therapist with a strong foundation in both education and social work. I earned my Master’s in Education from Concordia University of Portland in 2015, followed by a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University in 2018. Having training in both fields has been invaluable — it allows me to be creative and flexible in my approach, integrating educational strategies with therapeutic interventions to enhance understanding, growth, and lasting change. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan — from early childhood through older adulthood — and in a wide variety of settings, including homes, schools, hospitals, jails, courts, community agencies, and offices. I also have extensive experience providing teletherapy in several formats, ensuring accessible and personalized care for clients wherever they are. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a case manager and volunteered for many years with at-risk youth and individuals with developmental disabilities. I also served as a crisis therapist, offering brief interventions and support to individuals at imminent risk. Over the course of my seven years as a therapist, I have provided both individual and group counseling, helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. In recent years, my work has focused on private practice therapy with individuals and couples. Through this work, I have deepened my expertise and integrated several evidence-based therapeutic models to help clients improve their mental health, strengthen their relationships, and build more fulfilling lives. I currently work primarily with adolescents and adults, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being.

Hello! I have to start by acknowledging what you are doing right now...in this moment! I do not know the "why" you're here, but here you are and you are worth the time, strength and effort to engage with therapy.

Welcome! I came to this work a little differently than some. After spending 16 years in my first career, I found myself sitting across from a therapist for the first time. That experience changed my life. It gave me not only a new perspective on myself but also a deep desire to help others in the same way. So, I made a big leap: I went back to school to become a therapist myself. Since then, it’s been over two decades of meaningful, often humbling work. I spent 21 years in community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment, and I was fortunate to serve as a contracted therapy provider for the Department of Defense—work that gave me a profound respect for the strength and resilience of those who serve. I’ve also worked in private group practice and provided therapy in intensive outpatient programs in Canada, gaining experience with a wide range of individuals and challenges along the way. In November 2021, I opened my own private practice. It’s been an incredible privilege to support individuals and couples in this more personal setting, and I truly value the relationships I build with each client. If you’re considering therapy, I want you to know you're not alone—and change really is possible.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by worry, sadness, or self-doubt? Maybe you’re questioning your worth or feeling stuck in a place that’s hard to move past. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it on your own. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, emotional relief, and a deeper sense of self-acceptance. Your well-being matters, and I’m here to support you on your journey to healing and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I have always had the conscious goal of supporting others with being able to overcome their hardships and internal challenges that prevents them from being successful.

Being a therapist has always been a desire of mine to support others with understanding their thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors associated with how they feel.

First of all, I love what I do and to witness the positive changes clients make in their lives as a result of choosing therapy to help them accomplish what they want. Often the goal is to achieve symptom relief so as to not be overwhelmed by anxiety, mood disorders or be better able to manage the challenges of ADHD. Sometimes there is not a specific outcome identified but a need for ongoing support for dealing with life transitions or difficult people. Sometimes clients use therapy as a confidential sounding board where they can talk to an objective outsider about situations and sort out their perspective. I offer various ways to see and respond to situations that might otherwise not be considered. Your opinion as a client is the most important one and I will also honestly provide mine when asked for. I believe therapy can actually be something that you can look forward to and an opportunity to learn new skills to use long after you discontinue, and we can even have some fun and laughs along the journey.

I am Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, ADHD, mood shifts, PTSD-related symptoms, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and emotionally attuned, rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth can flourish. I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, and Humanistic modalities to support clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change. To support clarity and reduce distractions, I use Grow Therapy’s HIPAA- and PHI-compliant transcribe system. This secure tool is optional, but it is my preferred method. It helps me stay focused and present, especially when navigating executive functioning challenges. Many clients find the written record grounding and empowering, and it allows us to focus more fully on your story and goals. My clinical foundation was shaped early through lived experience. I grew up alongside my father, Dr. David Hartman, a MD and disability rights advocate whose memoir White Coat, White Cane chronicles his journey as the first blind psychiatric physician to graduate medical school in the United States. A few things he and mom taught me is that healing begins when those challenges are met with dignity, respect, and in a non-judgmental environment. I may occasionally use constructive self-disclosure to support insight and trust. This is always done with intention, clear boundaries, and respect for your therapeutic goals. I also use secure tools to support accurate documentation and reduce cognitive load, especially when navigating executive functioning demands. Therapy should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Whether navigating neurodivergence or seeking a space to be heard, I am here with insight and respect.

Welcome. I will challenge you (with your permission), laugh with you and expect you to come with a goal and be willing to be actionable about whatever homework you decide to try.

It's okay to be unsure, but not to believe anyone can make things better without your effort. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.
