Born and raised in the inner city by a single mother and a large extended family, I noticed the needs of those that were mentally or physically diagnosed were often not met. Therefore, I began to inquire about what I needed to do in order to be a part of the solution. I began to work in the field and I have worked in Behavioral/Mental Health for close to 20 years. My experience covers a plethora of ages and diagnosis across many settings. My determination to treat and support those with mental health diagnosis during the pandemic inspired me to perform outpatient therapy via telehealth to adults and adolescents. I specialize in adults 25-55 with various diagnoses but primarily Anxiety, PTSD, trauma and Depression to name a few. I love to utilize CBT, CPT, trauma informed care (TIC) and Motivational Interviewing as treatment modalities.

Hi! My name is Dr. Vicki Carter. I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Capella University, 2008. I specialize in trauma, mood and personality disorders. I have twenty years of integrative counseling experience. Integrative care speaks of treating the whole instead of individual aspects. Therefore this value speaks to exploring the physical and mental health of clients .

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been practicing for the last 10 years. After earning my degree, I worked as a psychologist in the United States Navy, in a variety of roles and settings, for several years and then started my private practice. I am looking forward to this next chapter and hoping I can be a part of yours as well!

I believe people are incredibly resilient and capable of healing with the right support. I don't just believe in counseling—I believe in people. In fact, I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself yet. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Army veteran, mother, and writer, I understand that life can be both beautiful and challenging. I bring both professional training and lived experience to the counseling relationship. I have specialized training in DBT, CBT, and Christian counseling, allowing me to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and values. My Christian faith is central to who I am, and I gladly integrate biblical principles into counseling for clients who request it while providing compassionate, respectful care to individuals from all backgrounds. It is my joy to help others discover hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

I try to create a collaborative relationship between myself and the client. I have the belief that our thoughts are directly connected to how we feel. By working with clients to solve present-day problems it helps the client approach a stronger and healthier sense of self by focusing on the actual lived experience of a person. By helping clients gradually face and come to realize that their assumptions, evaluations and beliefs might be unhealthy and unrealistic. Having the client be aware even after they have learned to recognize when and where their mental processes have gone wrong, it can in some cases take considerable time or effort to replace a dysfunctional process or habit with a more reasonable and adaptive one.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space that allows individuals to explore feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief, among many others. If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or defeated, I'm here to help find your direction and to be the best possible version of yourself. Just remember that no matter what you're currently feeling or going through, things can get better for you. I believe everyone deserves a chance to be heard and to find their inner peace.

Life can be overwhelming, and you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can help you gain clarity, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs because I believe therapy should fit the individual, not the other way around. Together, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical tools to navigate life's challenges, and draw on your existing strengths to help you move forward with greater confidence. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, using evidence-based approaches that are both compassionate and practical. My goal is to help you gain insight while also equipping you with the skills needed to create lasting change beyond the therapy office. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you're ready to make a change, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

Hi, I'm a therapist with 15 years of experience and I know life can feel overwhelming sometimes. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood and never judged.

As a psychologist, I strive to be your teammate in the healing and growth process, helping you uncover strengths, overcome barriers, and build a life aligned with your values and goals (and maybe even a few laughs along the way).

This included year-long specialty trainings in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD (PE-PTSD), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT-PTSD), and the full-throttle, comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT and DBT-PE). While at my various placements (e.g., UMASS Hahnemann Family Health Center, AUNE Psychological Service Center, multiple VAs, etc.), I worked with majority LGBTQIA+ individuals and developed a passion for working with LGBTQIA+ folx. I served as the Transgender and Gender Diverse Group co-leader for several years, and my caseloads were majority LGBTQIA+, Women Veterans, and Veterans/People of Color. Along the way, I was awarded the Outstanding Early Career Achievement, served as the MHC Group Psychotherapy Coordinator, and worked as a comprehensive DBT team member at two VA facilities. These experiences didn’t just fill my 'toolbox'—they shaped my deep respect for the strength, complexity, and resilience of the people I’m honored to work with every day.

Hi, I'm Andrew Walls, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over nine years of experience helping adolescents, adults, and helping professionals heal from life's most difficult experiences. I earned my Master's degree from Troy University and work with clients ages 15-64 who are ready to move beyond simply surviving and begin living with greater purpose, balance, and self-compassion. Many of the people I work with are caregivers, teachers, first responders, healthcare professionals, military veterans, parents of children with special needs, and others who spend their lives caring for everyone else while quietly carrying too much themselves. They often struggle with trauma, burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, or the persistent feeling that no matter how hard they try, they are never "enough." My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to your unique goals and strengths. I believe healing begins by meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, strengthen your resilience, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by stress, responsibility, or painful life experiences. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Mindful Self-Compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other therapeutic techniques to help clients heal from trauma, reduce emotional distress, build healthier relationships, and develop a life guided by their values rather than their fears.

I have extensive post graduate training in grief and trauma and how it affects us spiritually, mentally and physically. It leads to patterns of behavior that in the beginning, help us survive. But now, anxiety, depression, anger and many other negative issues are stunting our emotional growth, destroying relationships and placing our lives on hold.

Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles of self-doubt and overthinking. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools that support real, lasting change.

It is my hope that I can come alongside you to aid in the challenges that life may be presenting to you. We can all feel overwhelmed by life stressors.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, with 14 years of experience working with individuals, groups, and families. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, with certifications in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) and Clinical Anxiety Treatment (CCATP). I also have advanced expertise in grief counseling. As a Board-Certified Christian Counselor, I am able to integrate a faith-based perspective into our sessions upon request With a warm, energetic style infused with humor, I take a holistic, strength-based, and person-centered approach to therapy.

You’ve done therapy before. You got insight. Maybe even some relief. And then you ended up right back in the same patterns. That’s the work I do. I work with adults dealing with eating disorders, trauma, burnout, and the kind of “functional” that looks fine from the outside but is not sustainable. Most of my clients are not new to therapy. They are frustrated that what helped didn’t hold. I have over 25 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, and private practice, including higher levels of care in eating disorder treatment. I am licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, and I hold advanced certifications in eating disorders, trauma, and DBT. This is a telehealth practice designed to be structured, direct, and for people who are done circling the same insight without change.

I am a firm believer that every encounter in our life causes change in all parties involved, no matter how small the encounter. Even if the client and I agree or disagree about us being a good fit, we are both changed. We might not notice the change at first, but it's there. I try to bring my 100% to every session and I hope my clients do the same with the understanding that our 100% changes everyday due to life situations. I do share personal experiences with clients if it is appropriate to do so and I feel it would benefit the client. I am a mom of three young children and a wife, so I understand how life can get busy and overwhelming at times. I love to call these times our Life's Storms. We are just getting through the day(s) even if it just barely. By clients choosing to try to continue on even at the hardest points in the Life's Storms they are Braving Life's Storms. This doesn't mean that there aren't times when clients will have thoughts of wanting to just pause life, or run away and start over because that is normal and coming to counseling to seek help is brave and hard in and of itself.

I'm looking to partner with you to merge our strengths in order to discern which tools will be most effective in your journey. I have been working with children and their families my entire career. Since 2010, I have worked with children and their families as an intensive in-home counselor, a counselor and supervisor for therapeutic day treatment in the schools, an outpatient therapist and a residential treatment therapist. My Master of Social Work came from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. In addition, I have trained others in the ASSIST Living Works Suicide Prevention program in order to break down the avoidance of conversation surrounding suicide. Prior to becoming a therapist, I graduated from Duke Divinity School with a Master of Religious Education, Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity and worked in the church as a minister. While my worldview is Christian and I hope everyone can have a spiritual journey, I am respectful of various views. I look forward to walking with you as you move toward a more meaningful life.
