Sex and relationships are integral parts of our lives. However, miscommunication, self-perceptions, and expectations can prevent us from having the connections we want. Although our frustrations can seem insurmountable at times, change is possible. Looking for a therapist is a positive first step. Whether you are looking to gain personal insight, develop coping strategies, or improve your relationships and sexual functioning, we can work together to achieve your goals. I work with individuals and couples and am licensed in VA and DC.

**I am not accepting new clients at this time.** Life can be difficult. Sometimes we need the assistance of a caring well trained professional to help us get to a place of healing and peace. Effective therapy is a collaborative process where together, I can assist you in healing from the past, learning to remain in the present, while planning for the future. I am here to listen and create a safe space where you can explore how your inner-most thoughts affect your behavior.

As a therapist with 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have been inspired by the diversity of experiences and strengths of those I have had the pleasure to work with. We all go through challenging times in our lives in which we find ourselves discouraged. Exploring our situation offers the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to live life beautifully. Therapy does not change people; it enables them to discover their own resources so they can make the changes themselves. Together, we will focus on a clear purpose, taking small consistent steps toward change, and managing obstacles along the way.

Are you feeling a bit stuck? Having trouble launching into that next thing? Want change, but don’t know how to get there? Let’s meet. Finding that therapist that you feel comfortable with can be challenging, but I task you with coming in. That’s the first and hardest step for sure. We will work together to find strategies to better dealing with things that are presenting challenges in your everyday life. The idea is that we explore and sift through things that may be keeping you feeling stuck and hopefully get to a point where you are better equipped to use your toolbox for coping and managing those challenges.

I offer a home visit therapy practice (no office visits at this time) for people who have difficulty getting out, usually because of physical limitations or caregiving responsibilities. Professional and personal experiences have led to my decision to work with people facing serious illness and their family members. As a cancer survivor myself, I hope to bring understanding and relief. A counselor who is objective (not your friend or family member) can be enormously helpful in helping you see your situation more clearly and, even more important, can help you mobilize your own strengths and improve your coping skills.

I'm here to listen with empathy and help you through a difficult time, to help you with identifying negative thoughts and patterns, to collaborate with you and help you to pursue goals, and to provide education on ways to better cope and make positive changes in your life that will bring you to your higher, ideal self. Treating the following issues: codependency, relationships, self-esteem, adjusting to changes, crisis, history of abuse, and recovery from addiction/alcoholism. I work with clients with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, bipolar, ADHD and trauma/C-PTSD. I also specialize in assisting gender diverse clients.

Sometimes we just need a safe space to collect our thoughts, name our hurts, explore our desires and work through our fears. I can offer you a space of hope and reprieve. Together, you and I, will work through the anxiety and sadness that is overshadowing your life, and not allowing you to live the full and authentic life that you desire. I work from a cognitive behavioral modality and somatic (body-centered) approach, while emphasizing mindfulness and eastern philosophy.

Struggling and thinking about a change? No one is immune from stress or difficult times in life and our physical wellbeing is tied together with our thoughts, behaviors and feelings. Improving your life is hard but I am here to help you along the way and welcome meeting you in your journey. My patient-centered approach works to find your existing strengths and build on them with specific skills and other interventions tailored to your unique situation. Together we can work to creatively develop strategies which can create change and hope in achieving better living and peace of mind.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed social worker who likes to help people through difficult times by walking you through the everyday challenges we face and provide new ways to cope and think about the difficulties. I provide empathy and excellent communication while building up our therapeutic relationship.

Choosing to explore therapy can elicit a number of emotional responses. For some, this is an important step in recognizing an issue and deciding to move toward resolve. Others may experience a lack of clarity in regards to what exactly needs to change and uncertainty about entering therapy. No matter where you are in your healing, I offer a safe and personal therapeutic process to fit your specific needs. My goal is to work toward your desired outcome by offering a collaborative and supportive exploration of your concerns while utilizing an integrative style of therapeutic modalities that are all firmly established through research.

If you are feeling depressed or anxious, struggling with life transitions, parenting, occupational difficulties, grief/loss, past or present trauma, or other issues, I believe that a safe and supportive therapeutic environment can bring help, hope, and healing to your life. This relationship is often the first step toward helping individuals to understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

If you are stuck in your career or are wondering whether it's time for a change, I know I can help. I bring to my clients the wisdom from the successes I've had as a Harvard MBA, as an advertising executive with one of America's top advertising agencies, as president of an innovative not-for profit, and as a successful entrepreneur. I also have a strong clinical background of 17 years in private practice as a licensed psychotherapist. This variety and breadth gives me a unique ability to view problems from multiple perspectives, creating strategically sound, actionable solutions.

A supportive relationship between therapist and client is essential for therapy to be successful. With greater than 20 years of training in various treatment modalities, I am able to tailor treatment based on the needs of my client. I have experience treating individuals and couples facing a wide variety of challenges to include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Life is a journey, and it is more interesting, exciting, and manageable if you have the understanding and tools to guide your way. Are you struggling to enjoy life, having trouble seeing your path clearly, or just wanting to enhance your experience? Psychotherapy, counseling, and/or life coaching, can enable you to advance in your journey and life experience. Whether you are wanting to focus on individual concerns, relationship challenges, or career issues, you can find help. My goal is to help you achieve your full potential to achieve greater success and happiness. I offer office, videocounseling, and telephone sessions.

I work with clients to help them through difficult issues involving marriage and family relationships, depression, anxiety, and sexual assault. My goal is to help my clients achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time so that they can get on with their lives.

Greetings and welcome! I am the founder of Hall Counseling Services. We work with individuals, families, and couples and are happy to provide a safe space for everyone.

I work across the lifespan to connect with individuals seeking the transformative power of therapy, resiliency, and post-traumatic growth. By developing a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in compassion and kindness, I create a safe and healing space for each client to explore insights, develop skills, process trauma, losses, and life transitions. I believe in the power of mindfulness, mind/body connection, expressive arts, and play as a tool to explore, learn, and process your experiences and reach your therapeutic goals. I am honored by the opportunity to work with you as you share, grow, and change.

If you struggle with self worth, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, insomia/sleep disorders, women's health, and/or general health psych related problems such as chronic pain, acceptance of a new medical diagnosis, weight loss/management, smoking cessation, etc., I can provide the tools to assist you in navigating the complexity of these issues.

Are you tired of being stressed all of the time and ready to make lasting change with short-term, proven therapies? Many of the families and individuals I have worked with all say one thing-life is much easier than before they reached out and started our work together. I am seeing a lot of success with my practice safely online at this time.

If you are a professional woman in midlife (40s-60s) going through a difficult time, transition, or wondering "what's next?" I encourage you to get in touch with me. I work with scores of women who, like you, are committed to having their best life, are resilient, and give a lot. But they have faced a hard life event which has rocked their world, confidence, balance and security. Whether you're facing divorce, a loss through death, "empty nest", career derailment, or even a positive event like becoming a midlife parent, or even retirement anxiety, therapy can help you grow and make your next chapter, the best chapter of life.
