Hello. Welcome to my page. I am Melissa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Virginia and Vermont. I have been a therapist for over 12 years. I specialize in short term, solution focused therapy for those who want to see their lives moving in a direction where they feel more at ease in a matter of weeks.

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.

Welcome! I'm Zena Jones Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia. I am also a Christian and a Veteran. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and have experience in working with an array of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I strive to provide an environment that fosters mutual trust and respect but still hold to my deep held values. I recognize the challenge individuals face when acknowledging the need for help and taking the first step towards addressing their issues. Understanding the reluctance to admit vulnerability, I am dedicated to making this initial step more accessible. I emphasize importance of addressing habits, hurts, and hang-ups to foster mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth and healing. Drawing parallels with seeking medical help for physical ailments, I believe mental health should be approached with the same level of importance. While acknowledging that the journey to healing is neither quick nor easy, I am committed to providing support and guidance to help individuals navigate this pathway.

I take a holistic approach to counseling to help you with a healthy integration of the mind, body, and spirit.
