ADHD Therapists in West Virginia

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist (LICSW) with 35 years of professional work experience based in West Virginia. I received my Masters degree at the University of Pittsburgh, and I have been practicing for thirty-five years. I have experience in helping clients with a myriad of issues, but especially stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & anger management, anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, as well as clients with substance use disorders. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

One of the wonderful aspects of therapy is that it's a journey for all stages of life — not just during moments of turmoil, but also in times of joy and stability. My mission is and will always be to empower individuals to embrace self-compassion and grace, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach to therapy focuses on addressing present challenges through practical solutions that enhance your well-being and alleviate stress. I prioritize accountability and offer the insights you need, rather than just what you might want to hear. I recognize that no textbook or degree can rival first-hand experience. Bearing in mind that I may not entirely grasp my client's personal experiences, I excel at offering a professional yet personable perspective, maintaining an open mind, and always remembering that my clients are the true experts on their own lives. I acknowledge that I may be the sole confidant of your struggles or hardships, and it's very important to me that you feel free to be your authentic self during our time together. Whatever it may be that you are going through, be encouraged to know that you certainly are not alone. I am here and I am here to help.

I am a therapist specializing in adult mental health and addiction disorders. I have 10 years of experience providing individual, group, and couples therapy. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient environments. At Grow I offer individual, family, and couples counseling and Board of Nursing evaluations. Individual counseling is billed through insurance or self-pay at $100 per hour. Couples counseling is self-pay at $150 per hour. Board of Nursing evaluations are billed out-of-pocket due to the extensive paperwork/correspondence involved. However, follow-up visits can be billed through insurance if I am in-network with your insurance company. There is a no-show fee of $100. There is a late cancellation (less than 24 hours) fee of $100. My mission is to be used by God to help others reach their highest potential and purpose in life; to represent and teach tolerance, respect, and harmony; and to promote social and economic justice. I believe that all people regardless of race, culture, age, gender, religion, physical or mental disability, and sexual orientation are entitled to basic rights and fair, humane treatment. I believe that all members of society should have the same basic rights, protections, opportunities, obligations, and social benefits. My practice is governed by the belief that you are a valuable human being. You have the right to express your ideas and opinions openly. You have the right to direct and govern your life. You have the right to stand up for yourself without anxiety and make choices that are good for you. You have the right to change your mind. You have the right to not be liked by everyone. You have the right to be wrong. You have the right to make requests and refuse them without feeling guilty. You have the right not to be responsible for others’ behaviors, actions, feelings, or problems.
