3 therapists in Virginia matching your needs

Hi there, I'm Sarah! Do you feel as though you simply cannot stay afloat? Do you have difficulties managing emotional distress due to trauma? Are you struggling to keep up with all of your relationships while trying to balance being a *new* mom? Look no further, I'm here to help! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with approximately 10 years of community mental health experience. I graduated from the University of Virginia’s College at Wise in 2012 with my Bachelors degree in Psychology and obtained my Masters degree from Radford University in 2014. I’m certified by the Virginia Board of Counseling to supervise Residents in Counseling and provide individual and/or group supervision. As a trauma-focused therapist, I'm here to help you manage distress, increase coping and relaxation skills, and process your individualized experiences in a safe place. I am also trained in perinatal mental health, so that I can better help you navigate your unique path throughout pregnancy and postpartum - whether that be perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum depression) or adjusting to parenthood. Specialties: childhood trauma (ages 4-18), perinatal mood and anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, & trauma.

Hello, Welcome to Grow Therapy. My name is Wendy. The best way to know if we are a good match is to talk; feel free to call me directly and leave me a message about what you are looking for, and I will call you back. We can set a time to meet in person or virtually. My direct number is 540-385-4082. The calendar on this site may not reflect my actual availability. I offer therapeutic services for adults (18 and on). I am experienced working with individuals with special needs, including those with autism and learning disabilities, and their families, who are able and willing to learn skills and participate in the therapeutic process. I have experience working with children, but I am not a play therapist. I can help children learn skills but need parents to be actively involved in the work. We each have a story, a life full of experiences and potential. However, we can become overwhelmed when dealing with life struggles and hardships that come our way. We can feel like we do not know what to do and feel lost and overwhelmed. While doing our best to live in the present, we can still get stuck in the past. Life is a gift but can be tricky and downright challenging. Sometimes we need a helping hand. That is where I might come in.

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.
