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.

Hi! My name is Auria and I am an LCSW licensed in NC, PA, VA, and SC (telehealth only). I have been in the field of social work for over 15+ years. I currently work in a hospital and jail setting. The hospital setting requires to me address discharge needs. In the jail setting, I am addressing immediate crises such as suicidal/homicidal ideation/psychosis, etc. Both of these roles require me to provide support to patients and their families (where appropriate). In my free time, I spend time with my family and friends.

Since 2007, my mission has been to help and empower my clients to overcome their most challenging obstacles and start living happier and healthier lifestyles. My extensive experience in working with children and families of diverse ethnic backgrounds and disabilities means that I'm fully equipped to guide, support and assist you in building the life you clearly deserve. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a masters in social work from Florida International University. I am also a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and Virginia. I focus on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness focusing on decreasing emotional and behavioral disturbances. In addition, I aim to help create life balance and help you understand how to prioritize YOU and highlighting all aspects of your authentic self. My goal is to help individuals overcome stress and life challenges. Together we will explore solutions and easier ways of managing stress that may be contributed by past negative events linked to current negative thoughts and emotions. If you feel as though you are stuck and not evolving due to increased stress, frustration, anger, fear, sadness, disgust, rage, or annoyance, for example, you may be holding on to certain negative emotions that are hindering you from evolving, healing, and growing. My purpose is to support you where you are at and help you remove energy blocks and negative thoughts to promote the healing process. My approach involves Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) exposure therapy to thoughts, feelings, and emotions by using positive affirmations and tapping interventions. Whatever stage in life you are in right now, you can expect me to walk with you through these challenges by inspiring and motivating you every step of the way. You can expect to improve your quality of life, find your purpose, and learn more about yourself by changing your story or narrative in order to fulfill your dreams of success.

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.

Bio I'm Melissa and I'm an LPC in the State of Virginia. I am passionate about mental health, healing, and hope. Understanding your mental health and what is going on with you is the starting point on your healing journey. I grew up in Seattle Washington and attended college in Oregon. I received my Master’s in Professional Counseling through Liberty University in 2016. I've lived in Virginia for the past 15 years. I am a single mom with 4 kids. I love laughing, reading, and spending time with my kids. I grew up in an alcoholic family and credit Jesus with keeping me away from the dysfunction I grew up in. I offer a Christian worldview. I have been a counselor for 8 years and have worked with many age groups with various diagnoses and in a variety of settings. Counseling needs to be a safe place and a counselor needs to be a person who can handle talking about the tough stuff. Counseling is not polite conversation. I begin the counseling relationship with developing emotional safety, educating clients about mental health and creating a better understanding of what is going on with them, processing their experiences, and developing a "toolbox" to help them improve their lives. I focus on emotions- why we have them, how to sit with them, and how to manage them. I believe that "the only way out is through" and to tackle struggles, a comprehensive approach is needed to look at family history, family dynamics, biological issues, psychological issues, cultural influences, medical history, social influences, spiritual influences, and current level of functioning. This information allows me to plan treatment to ensure that you receive the best care. I provide counseling for relationship struggles parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, ADHD, and adult children of alcoholics.

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents to improve relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, post-partum, grief, life transitions, ADHD, PTSD, and addictions. I believe everyone can overcome their struggles with support and genuine effort. Life transitions can be awkward, uncomfortable, or distressing. At any age, you might find yourself unprepared for the big feelings that come with your new normal. My passion is in helping you navigate the twists and turns of life while maintaining your core identity. There are so many changes in life. Whether you’re a sandwich generation adult, caring for your kids and your parents at the same time, a new mother, or a young adult exploring life beyond childhood, I will guide you through the daily challenges of this current phase. As a former teacher, I’ve seen how the way we lay the groundwork for coping with new situations manifests into our adulthood. Each person is unique. I desire to help you improve YOUR life YOUR way.

Then, we’ll tear each piece apart and make tweaks where necessary to reach your goals. My approach is warm and person-centered. When I notice progress within our work, I’m sure to shout it out for celebration!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

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 perception of situations. 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 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.
