My name is Hayley B. Sherwood, Ph.D. I am a trauma-informed Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Herndon, VA, specializing in adolescent, parenting, family, and women's issues. I work with many women who are trying to balance to demands of contemporary motherhood, as well as adolescents and adults who have challenging family relationships. My approach to psychotherapy is from a family systems and psychodynamic perspective, and I favor a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. As a result, I regularly consult with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, school personnel and other professionals regarding my client's care.

Therapy should be a space where you can come exactly as you are. While I specialize in working with children and teens, I work with clients of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, and families. My practice is rooted in a neurodiversity- and LGBTQIA+-affirming, trauma-informed framework. Having worked with a wide range of populations, I am passionate about providing compassionate, effective care that respects your unique lived experience. Ultimately, I aim for clients to leave therapy with a deeper sense of self-worth, a toolkit of effective coping strategies, and enhanced resilience for navigating life's challenges.

Emma holds a BA in Psychology and an MSW from Washington University in St. Louis and has over four years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups. She works with clients navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, with a particular focus on life transitions; those moments when the ground shifts and what once felt certain no longer does. She recognizes that change, even when chosen, can feel disorienting, and she is dedicated to supporting clients through these moments with compassion and understanding.

You’re the one everyone counts on.
You keep it together, check every box, and always try to do the “right” thing, but underneath it all, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, and constantly second-guessing yourself. Whether you're a teen feeling the pressure to have perfect grades and be the perfect friend and athlete, a young adult trying to figure out life and relationships, or a mom silently drowning under the weight of doing it all, it feels exhausting.
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re not enough no matter how hard you try, you’re in the right place.

I specialize in using videotherapy to help you reclaim your peace, your motivation, and your confidence. Feeling stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed doesn't have to be the norm. Therapy can help!

My approach is informed by my research and my constant study of the latest developments and findings on diagnosing and treating behavioral, cognitive, and emotional distress.

I work with individuals and couples to go beneath the surface - the emotions, fears, and old wounds that quietly shape the way you think, feel, and connect. Together, we’ll listen to what your distress is trying to tell us, and help you build new ways of relating — to yourself and others — that feel calmer, safer, and more fulfilling. It’s hard to keep moving when you feel disconnected from yourself or the people you love. Maybe you’re tired of being the strong one, of holding everything together, or of repeating the same patterns. On the outside, you’re coping — but inside, it feels like something needs care and attention.

I specialize in cultivating a space for individuals and couples to connect, resolve well-worn patterns, and repair old wounds. If you and your partner have different ways of navigating emotions, connection, conflict, or stress, I can help. I specialize in working with differing attachment styles, typically playing out as one partner pursuing for connection or resolution, upping the ante when they can’t feel their partner, and the other partner withdrawing or shutting down in an effort to reduce tension and diffuse the conflict. I work with individuals and couples to find ways out of their patterns, pain, distrust, and protectiveness

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands, and I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor Resident (LPC-R). I believe mental health is foundational for overall health and well-being. When experiences such as trauma or loss go unresolved, they can quietly keep us stuck in the past, impacting our ability to feel present and hopeful, and significantly impairing our quality of life. While I have experience addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, my passion lies in working with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment-related difficulties.

We all find ourselves from time to time in need of guidance, expertise, and support from someone we trust. Engaging in treatment with a professional is at times the most efficient way of addressing what is not working. I offer individual, couples and family, consultation and/or psychotherapy with the goal of helping people get to a place in their lives where they can thrive.

I work with people who long for deeper, more reciprocal relationships, a life that actually fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving, regardless of what you need. Externally, all looks well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, or always chasing. I specialize in working with high-performers, perfectionists, people pleasers, or anxious attachers who seek greater satisfaction, connection, peace, and balance in their life.
