Hey! I’m Ashley. Are you overwhelmed? Depressed? Anxious? Struggling to process a traumatic experience? Let’s talk. I am a LCSW and very passionate about what I do. Life is stressful and everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in life. I will provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be open and we can work together to address what's going on. In addition, I will equip you with practical tools and insights, and empower you to overcome any challenge that you may face. I enjoy helping individuals overcome mental health struggles and have been practicing as an outpatient therapist for over five years. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In our sessions, I will provide a compassionate, safe environment while offering evidence-based techniques to make lasting changes. Are you ready?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with experience in the mental health field, working with adults and teens challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal dynamics, and life transitions. I specialize in Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I champion adopting a "Knightly" approach to treatment, empowering individuals to manage the waves of life.

Hello, I am Dorothy Brass. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapeutic counseling services. I have a career in social work that has expanded over 30 years in practicing therapy, case management, and assessment services with all ages. I have held positions in Hospice, Youth Services, Social Services, Medical, Geriatric Services, and School Social Work. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Iowa.

I live in the Hampton Roads section of Virginia with my son and our dog. I enjoy spending time at the beach, hiking, reading, and traveling. I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 15 years and have worked in the field of mental health both, in-patient and out-patient, for over 25 years. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)and Rational Emotive (RET) therapies to guide patients toward a greater understanding of themselves with the goal of emotional equilibrium or “balance.” Living in such a large military community has also provided opportunities to work with active-duty personnel and their families. I have successfully treated patients with depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and trauma histories.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I live in Virginia Beach, Va and am licensed in Virginia, Utah, and Nevada. I received my MSW at The Catholic University of America and have been practicing therapy for 6 years. I feel that therapy is a gift you give yourself. I work online as a telehealth therapist. I enjoy meeting you where you are at and helping you get through the rough spots, whether it's finding your voice, identifying the obstacle and need for change, or just understanding from a different perspective. I work mainly with clients who have experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma in their life.

I have experience working with clients dealing with excessive worry, persistent sadness, hopelessness, low-self worth, and a negative self-image. We will work together in developing effective coping strategies to manage symptoms, improve mood, and work towards self-acceptance. I use a holistic approach that considers the whole person, including their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. I am sure to recognize and respect the client's cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, incorporating cultural competences into my approach. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly. Your experiences and emotions are valid, and I am here to listen with compassion and empathy.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I’m also licensed in Indiana and in Virginia. I received my Masters degree from Florida International University and have been practicing for over 5 years. I have experience working children, adolescents, and adults. My goal in therapy is to help my clients to improve the quality of their lives.

Empowering Others to Live Happier Lives. I am Jennifer Evans, LPC, LMHC. I am a board-certified therapist in multiple states and over 20 years of counseling experience, with a proven success of reaching remission in Depression with my clients in one session; this is within the 95th percentile of clinicians measured. I am passionate about effecting change and helping work with people to achieve insight in order to gain maximum potential and reach their most desired visions and goals. I know personally and professionally, how difficult it is to get here and I am proud of your first step and commitment to change. I know I can be of valued support as we work together to reach success, insight, and overcome emotional and psychosocial stressors. A little more about me; I was born and raised in Florida. 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.

I have provided therapeutic support to individuals with mental health and addiction-related diagnoses for over 12 years in outpatient and inpatient settings. I work with children ages 6 and up, adolescents, adults, and military members and families to help them get through life issues and stressors. Through the use of Motivational Enhancement, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Brief Psychodynamic interventions, symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and abuse can be addressed in therapy. My educational background includes a Master of Arts in International Studies from East Carolina University and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I am also fluent in Spanish and can provide support to Spanish-speaking individuals.

Who am I? I am HER, I am great, I am divine and I strongly believe that we are all that person. I also believe that all humans are uniquely and wonderfully created and possess the abilities to achieve their greatness potential. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. Being a West Indian, I am truly aware and sensitive to cultural differences and respect every journey that we are on. Coming from a military background where I served in the United States Navy for 10 years before being Honorably Discharged, I am very familiar with military life and transition. I do enjoy working with individuals from all different backgrounds and consider myself to be culturally competent. I believe that life, like therapy, is about pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, embracing growth learning and developing healthy habits that develop into new behaviors and patterns that ultimately make an individual the best version of themselves.

As an Indigenous person, female entrepreneur, partner, parent, and constant pursuer of knowledge, I know what it's like to be so busy that your struggles, traumas, stressors, etc. feel isolating. My whole life has been a passionate healing journey to understand how to tap into the body's natural ability to heal itself and share that with as many people as I can.

Are you tired of just surviving through life? Do you miss the joy of fulfillment or the freedom of fully embracing all that life has for you? Do you miss being able to just be you? I am here for you and with you. My name is Michael Whiteside, and I am a compassionate, communal, and comedic Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping others regain control of their life and living life to the fullest. Together, we will partner in helping you have a life worth living by understanding how the pain of the past is interrupting the present and jeopardizing the future. Pain looks different for everyone. Whether anxiety, depression, racial trauma, life transitions, or racial identity challenges, our work begins when you show up. There is not any other requirement for therapy with me, except that you give yourself permission to be fully engaged in our work. Life has so much more for you. Give yourself back that freedom and let's get started.

You are experiencing feelings or struggles that don't seem to make sense. You feel like you "should" be happy, and able to do all the things, or that you "shouldn't" be stressed or worried because your problems aren't that bad. There are changes in your life, planned or unplanned, that are difficult. Things have happened that you've never been able to talk about. Maybe you are experiencing a COVID hangover? (Difficulty re-engaging in life in a way that is fulfilling.) Hi! I’m Gina and I specialize in empowering people to recognize that there are valid reasons why they feel the way they feel and do the things they do. I love to facilitate light bulb moments where my client begins to see things differently and realizes that they are not inherently flawed. Their thoughts, feelings, and responses make sense. I work with older adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, past or recent trauma, coping with transitions and changes in their lives, ADHD & depression. I take a strengths-based approach and focus on the whole person. I use a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to engage with my clients using strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, to work toward overall well-being.

Hi. My name is Lucy. Does there seem to be a challenge everywhere you look? Are you struggling with stressors at work, at home, or within your extended relationships? Are you dealing with feelings of overwhelm or having intrusive, worrying thoughts? Do you find it challenging to simply be kind to yourself? Regardless of your situation, I am so glad you are taking the steps to find support, and I hope that, together, we can discover what’s not working and get you back to balance. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience working with clients in various areas. These include crisis intervention, hospitalization and grief counseling, child protective services, foster care, parent coaching, mental health support, and intensive in-home therapeutic services. I believe that all individuals have an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I enjoy helping people from all walks of life manage relationships, explore personal challenges, and turn their inner critic into a compassionate and empowering force in their lives. Reaching out for help can be quite overwhelming and you have taken the first step by seeking a therapist. My goal is to provide a safe space for healing and growth. In our sessions, you can be assured that you will be met with compassion and evidenced-based techniques to overcome the obstacles holding you back.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with 25 years of experience committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults learn how to achieve their potential. My work focuses on improving your awareness, freedom, and self-direction toward growth, fulfillment, healing, and wisdom utilizing humanistic forms including Gestalt and Existential therapy, supported by person-centered, mind-body, and trauma-informed care. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to support you in reaching your goals with the understanding that you have the capacity toward self-actualization.

I feel that clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! While co-creating this process with you, I strive to balance my active listening with imparting active, hands-on techniques to help you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles in your path. I feel it's about more water rather than less soda, so to speak, and take both a clinical and holistic approach to helping you enhance alignment and experience deeper fulfillment in your journey. Along with my LCSW, I am trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and Master Practitioner certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. I feel I provide a safe space where shame and judgements are left at the door, and we will explore your wants, needs, and feelings with curiosity and compassion. I feel it's very much a co-created process, as you know more about you than I ever will. The work is also far more about our uncovering your truth than you adopting mine. With that said, I have a wide array of modalities and approaches I feel I have quite dialed in, and we can collaboratively determine which tools and approaches best suit your needs. My hope is that our work together will help you feel not only hear and validated, but also empowered and aware of how to eat the elephant on your own going forward. I see this work as us walking side by side, with you gradually taking the lead with me supportively in your corner. If you have something pressing you wish to discuss in session, that will always take precedence. My job is ultimately to actively listen and hold space. With that said, if that's all I was doing, you'd inevitably say, "Robby, you're a nice guy. But I don't know how much we're actually getting done." To that end, I feel it's far more important to determine HOW you think rather than WHAT you think. So it tends to be important for us to explore unconscious limiting beliefs and emotions along with the conscious. You can also expect to learn clear and concise action steps (ranging from mindfulness exercises to creative writing prompts to holistic practices like meditation and breathwork) to help you regulate your emotions and reclaim your narrative. I feel that many people are hesitant to engage in therapy because they perceive a stigma tied to seeking support. After all, the notion of "mentally ill" does have a negative connotation. The way I see it, though the process is not about fixing a broken thing, but rather enhancing one's alignment and fulfillment (and okay, yes, also confronting obstacles to those pieces). But if the focus is on "Where am I trying to get to and how will I know that I got there?" where our work is to simply close the gap between here and there, it can help us leave shame and judgements at the door, and perhaps even enable you to look forward to increased awareness and empowerment in your journey forward.

Welcome! The Ebbs and Flows of Life are something we all experience. We flow towards our hopes and dreams, while other times we may flow away. When your life ebbs it is like you are struggling against the current, and fighting your way through the current to grasp what is important to you. Perhaps the times you are flowing away are a result of relationship concerns, addiction, past trauma, anxiety or living with negativity. Like large rocks under the water, you may not be able to see them but they are creating obstacles in achieving your goals while potentially impacting both your health and well-being. I believe that by taking this step in seeking help you are interested in moving forward back to what is important to you. My role is to help you on your journey.

Hi there! I'm Ally. Do you ever feel like you are being pushed and pulled in everyday life, struggling to make it all work? You deserve to live a life that makes you feel excited to face every day - and this can often feel tough. I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story, to see where you have been, as you find new ways to move forward in your life. I have been working in the mental health field for a little over 12 years, working in various settings. These years of experience have nurtured rich relationships, in which wisdom between my clients and myself was often shared together. I am passionate about helping with various issues: anxiety, depression, relationships, adjustment to various life occurrences, and various forms of addiction. Seeking therapy can be scary, but you are worth it! If you want to share your life story with me, let's work together and get started!

My wish for clients is to be freed of the weight of their burdens & baggage.
