EVENING TELEHEALTH HOURS/FREE CONSULTATION!! As a therapist, connecting with clients and walking with them through their journey of triumphs and challenges, I have found that the connection between counselor and client is paramount. I strive to meet my clients where they are, focusing on their strengths and empowering them to make the changes they see fit rather than prescribing issue or diagnosis. I value treating each individual client with the respect they deserve. Placing emphasis on developing a relationship that is based on warmth, trust, respect, and genuine care. The ease of conversation, is client driven and casual.

When people experience trauma or other life stressors, they usually feel like they are losing control. As a Christ-centered counselor, Letizia humbly believes in providing Spirit-guided therapy, meaning that she will allow Christ, through the Holy Spirit, to guide her as she provides counseling for her clients. Rather than approaching counseling as a list of tasks that need to be checked off, Letizia focuses on the whole person in everything she does. Letizia uses an eclectic approach to counseling and can incorporate many different orientations to best suit the needs of a client.

It's been an amazing ride!! However, looking at me today, you cannot see my wounds and the painful journey that brought me to this amazing place. After being married for 17 years, a divorce took my life on a serious downward spiral to a very dark and painful place. I was deeply wounded and felt completely lost. I felt abandoned by those whom I thought would love and support me, forever. I was in search of love and acceptance. I didn't care about the cost, I just needed to feel loved. While in search of that love, I paid a great cost. I went looking for love in all the wrong faces and places.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Maya Angelou Hello my name is Constance,
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Virginia, Maryland, DC and Florida. I have 9 years of experience employed in behavioral health facilities, outpatient therapy clinics, correctional centers, and also providing medical social work/ therapy to oncology, emergent, and crisis patients in the hospital setting.

I believe that everyone can heal, grow, and thrive through therapy. I enjoy working with clients to help them process trauma, loss, and grief and to help those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Everyone needs connection and relationships in their lives. I help my clients become aware of their own needs, emotions, and fears so that they are better able to connect with others. My own experience with grief after losing my husband in a car accident forced me to grow and learn about recovery from catastrophic loss. We all face unique challenges and tragedies in our lives. Therapy can help us to feel less alone in our pain.

Hey there! My name is Chelsea and I'm excited to potentially be apart of your journey. Many of us have experienced crushing situations that leave a lasting impact on our hearts. Whether you've struggled to maintain a relationship with your parent(s) or feel burnt-out from life, stress can weigh heavily on us. My guiding philosophy for your mental health is rooted in support, challenges, and encouragement, as I help you achieve a life that feels free, whole, and healthy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping individuals, couples, children and families. I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma disorders, relationship issues, sexual issues, mood difficulties, social, racial, cultural and economic disenfranchisement, and life transitions. 

My mission through counseling is to foster hope to aid in inspiring change. I believe in the innate resilience of people to rise above their struggles. Sometimes we all need a little help to get there. I utilize a strengths-based approach to therapy, focused on resilience, empowerment, and building on a person’s current skill set. I am focused on meeting the client where they are to help them achieve where they want to be. Through compassion, challenging, and humor, I support my teen and adult clients in developing a growth mindset to reach their goals.

I help adults, teens, and couples who are caught in unhealthy and unfulfilling patterns and want guidance and support in the process of changing. These patterns can take the form of low self-esteem, indecisiveness, procrastination, anger, anxious feelings, negative thinking, addictive behaviors, or unhealthy relationships. My clients are not looking for anyone to fix them, including myself, but in the process of therapy many clients gain confidence in healing themselves and living their lives with greater agency, conviction, and self-compassion.

Urban living has its unique challenges, which can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, a sense of loneliness and other highly charged feelings and experiences. Are you in transition, a "transplant" to the area or maybe you have lived here all of your life? Are you having relationship problems? Going through a break-up, separation or divorce? Are you experiencing difficulty in connecting with others? Maybe you are experiencing a crisis in your career, feeling mismatched/unfulfilled? Or are you feeling unhappy but can't figure out the source, the "why" you are feeling this way?

There are many layers and textures in each of our stories and individual healing journeys, that may make us believe that healing is impossible or that inner wellness after trauma is unattainable. You are worthy and capable of the healing you're envisioning. For many of us, a safe healing space is the first step in that journey back to self and is the support we’ve been searching for to become the next best version of ourselves. Together, we co-create the space you need to celebrate your innate wisdom; restore trust in your intuition and voice; and nurture your growth towards more healing and easeful living.

I have been practicing as a mental health professional for over 11 years and graduated in 2022 with a masters in mental health and wellness from Grand Canyon University (Hon). I am licensed with the Virginia Board of Counseling as a Qualified Mental Health Professional and have served 5 counties in the northern Virginia region and the immediate southern counties of Stafford and Fredericksburg since 2016. I provide therapeutic and clinical strategies to children and adults diagnosed with ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar, and other traumas that interrupt daily functioning.

The Apostle Paul said “each of us has one body with many members” (Romans 12:4-5). In a similar fashion, Willi Dalaba, LCSW, sees people composed of different parts that make up the whole. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual all combine to make up an individual. A good counselor, she believes, may need to help a client bring into a better balance these different aspects of their personality. This is part of the theoretical grounding and expertise that Willi Dalaba brings to her years of counseling experience.

I offer services from two separate practices: my solo practice, where I serve Individuals with mental health diagnoses and accept insurance; and my couples specialty practice, "Relationship Repair" where I offer non-medical couples therapy and aid folks in healing their pain points and getting the relationship they want, and that practice is private pay only. Please indicate which service you are interested in when contacting me. I welcome clients from all ethnic and religious (or non-religious) backgrounds, and am an ally to LGBTQIA+ clients. I am sex positive and poly/kink informed.

I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, and transform their lives. Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, why their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are, what’s getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established relationship patterns that do not serve them. I work with clients to create a space that invites creativity and curiosity to solve problems, alleviate symptoms, and look inward at how our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving may be constricting our freedom to achieve.

I have an extensive background working with children, adolescents, and adults, providing psychotherapy. I have worked in a variety of settings including private practices, community clinics, and residential treatment centers. With specialized training and experience in different theoretical approaches including psychodynamic, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-focused CBT, interpersonal, and narrative therapy, I use an integrated approach to meet the unique needs of each client. Due to my own diverse background and experience, I am intimately aware of multicultural issues, and enjoy working with a clientele from various arrays of life.
