Therapists near me in Williamsburg, VA

Hi, I look forward to helping individuals navigate through life's experiences. If you are looking for a skilled and compassionate provider who wants to see you grow and live a flourishing life. I am ready to serve. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys helping individuals navigate and overcome challenging life experiences. I am always humble and appreciate that people allow me to come alongside them during their most difficult experiences.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a telehealth practice licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and over 23 years of experience in the mental health field working with children, teen and adults. . I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions, and I work from a warm, collaborative, and supportive approach. My work blends talk therapy with somatic practices, self-compassion, mindfulness, and pattern-tracing to help you better understand yourself and what keeps you stuck. 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. I also help clients gently connect how past experiences may still be impacting present-day emotions, relationships, and self-worth, while building a more grounded and compassionate relationship with themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over four years of experience helping adults overcome life's challenges and discover hope, healing, and lasting change. I work with adults ages 18–64 experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and other emotional difficulties. As a Christian, I also enjoy supporting individuals whose faith is an important part of their lives. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian values and biblical principles into the therapeutic process. I have a special passion for working with Christians and Preacher's Kids (PKs), recognizing the unique pressures, expectations, and emotional challenges that can come with ministry families. Whether you're wrestling with burnout, identity, church hurt, family dynamics, or balancing faith with everyday life, therapy can provide a safe place to process your experiences without judgment.

Are you seeking a safe space to release your challenges? Have you ever felt stuck and uncertain of the next steps and the outcome? I am committed to holding that space for you to help you take your next steps. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. Mental illness is a medical condition, just like any physical ailment, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Furthermore, hiding your struggles can prevent you from accessing necessary support. Let me help you with your path to recovery using your strengths to become a better version of yourself.

I firmly believe that every interaction we have in life has an impact on all parties involved, regardless of how insignificant the encounter may seem. 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 every day 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.

Hello! My name is Kim. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Board Certified Counselor (NCC). As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am committed to the well-being of the individuals I serve. In my therapy practice, I work with individuals that report anxiety, stress, depression, interpersonal relational concerns, occupational challenges, difficulty maintaining boundaries, and other conditions. For support, I offer cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in individual therapy sessions.

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 have been practicing in the field for over 10 years. I have co-facilitated men’s group, spoken at conferences, adolescent consults and individual therapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience providing therapy and case management in both outpatient and community-based settings. My approach integrates evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, including CBT, TF-CBT, and attachment-based therapy, to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthier relationships. I speak both English and Amharic and value the importance of diversity, cultural humility, and representation in the therapeutic process.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, Veteran, and the founder of Beacon Behavioral Therapy, PLLC, where I provide therapy for adults and students navigating life transitions, work-related or academic stress, burnout, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. I also specialize in supporting individuals in high-stress roles such as military, law enforcement, first responders, caregivers, and healthcare and helping professionals. As a Veteran myself, I understand what it is like to work in mission focused environments My approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care to help clients better understand what they’re experiencing, build effective coping skills, and make meaningful, sustainable changes in their daily lives. I focus on creating a supportive space where clients can slow down, gain clarity, and work at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in military and government environments, which informs my understanding of high-pressure systems and the challenges faced by professionals in demanding roles I understand what it’s like to work in mission-focused environments where you’re expected to keep going and perform under pressure, even when things are difficult. That perspective informs my work with clients who are used to carrying a lot, pushing through stress, and not always having space to process their own experiences while continuing to show up for others.

My approach to therapy is culturally sensitive, client-focused, and solution-based. The framework I use is CBT and SMART goals. I am also clear and transparent with my clients. The first session will be a true listening session to understand your concerns and develop a treatment that works for you. You will feel respected/understood through my client-focused approach to addressing your concerns.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience helping teens, adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, and major life transitions. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative, using evidence-based strategies from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychoeducation while tailoring therapy to your individual needs. I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and develop tools that create meaningful change in your everyday life.

I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my nearly twenty years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My primary focus is on helping you deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I try and help you be okay with things that are beyond your control and work with you to establish yourself as the protagonist in your own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.
