Hello. My name is Jeff Watros. Since 1995, I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Perhaps you've noticed one reality that applies to everyone of us is interaction with other human beings. Whether in the context of family, marriage, friend, acquaintance or total stranger, we can find ourselves struggling to understand one another. Sometimes hurt results. However, relationships can be repaired with a willing heart and humble attitude.

Accompaniment matters. Relationships transform. We sit together to access the health that is at the center of every human being, even when one of us can’t feel it. We sit because healing happens in relationship, access to true self is made easier in the presence of another person’s settled nervous system, and because your healing matters for the health of all of us. Whether you are facing overwhelm, anger, a frozen feeling, compulsions, depression, trauma, anxiety, or facing other difficult experience, we can touch it with awareness and respect. Our experience includes joy, includes pain, and includes connection and compassion.

I enjoy working with those who have had Near Death Experiences, as have I, and those interested in the Spiritual dimensions of life. I believe Fear underlies the problems we encounter in life and is central to creating the Comfort Zones that become the habitual and repeating behaviors we develop for living. Creating Intentional and Desired life choices involves a creative and manifesting process that brings dreams into reality. This process reveals the inner power that resides within ALL Life. In my 30+ years as a counselor, I have experienced many paths and am ready to work with you to assist you on your journey.

Hey! My name is Garika and I'm a licensed professional therapist out of Virginia along with licensing in Indiana. I spent the first 7 years post-grad working in a residential facility with adolescents and last 2 years proving care through telehealth therapy to people from many walks of life. Over the years, I have worked with various diagnoses including depression, anxiety, ADHD, severe trauma, PTSD, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders; along with areas like family issues and grief/loss.

My ideal client would be those searching for ways to overcome trauma that they have experienced in their life, as well as those struggling to experience a strong, healthy marriage that is based on supporting one another. I also would love to help support parents looking to strengthen their relationships with their children and implement healthy strategies that help build stronger families by working with the entire family towards a place of healing.

I have 25 years experience working as a counselor for children, adolescents, families, and adults. I work with people who are dealing with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief/loss, trauma, self-image, and any stresses related to race or sexual identity/orientation.

When looking for a therapist, ask someone that knows the reputation of the therapists in this area. Ask a friend, a family doctor, a pastor or a professional. They know the best therapist in the area. Don't pick a therapist simply based on what the therapist has written about her/himself or solely on the price. This is your life; it's your marriage or your family. 90% of our clients come from "word of mouth". We maintain a respected reputation due to the staff's professional skills and therapeutic effectiveness & reliability - we've been here since 1986. ---We are proud to be a Veteran Owned counseling practice.---

I enjoy getting to know the wide variety of people that walk through my door, of all ages, types of challenges and life experiences. The relationship of trust that develops provides a sacred and healing place in which growth and transformation can happen. To have the privilege of being present, actively supporting this process, gives me meaning and joy.

I regard much of 'psychopathology' as well-intended (but ineffective) efforts to contend with pain and fear, and to pursue needs and wants. So, in psychotherapy, I invite my clients to explore, identify, and take guidance from their emotional experiences, honoring their depression, anxiety, and other symptoms while finding more effective ways of living well. I also provide psychological and neuropsychological assessments.

**ACCEPTING CLIENTS**. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia providing psychological therapies to adolescents, adults, and couples. My primary focus is in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, dual diagnosis, grief, adjustment, and relational problems. My background includes clinical work, case management and training in the medical, educational, social service and therapeutic settings. I am experienced providing assessments and clinical services to children, adolescents, and adults. I also have experience treating those with medical challenges, grief and loss.

Life can be overwhelming and difficult because of fear, depression, stress or a host of other problems. Studying oneself utilizing a process where a trained therapist is involved, can be profitable to the point of changing things permanently. Happiness certainly has to be one of life's biggest concerns. This is readily found when a person feels whole within themselves and at peace. Being a calmer, at-ease person is quite possible when certain issues are put to rest.

My approach is gentle, and heartful. It is also good science, grounded in trainings devoted to strengthening the bonds with oneself, others, and the earth around us. What initially may seem stuck or unbearable is introduced to a source of health that is already within you. The opportunity in crisis, and the wisdom within torments, is something you will begin to notice. This noticing begins the discovery that we can, each of us, even within the most strained relationships, bring ourselves to an authentic, courageous stance. And ultimately toward an ever-deepening Love. Your experience of this forms the heart of what I offer.

My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve.

Often, words are not enough to describe or make sense of our experiences, feelings and memories of what life brings us. Distressing and traumatic events can leave us feeling fragmented, isolated, on high alert, panicked, stuck in our trauma memories and nightmares and hopeless about our future. We most often see people of all ages who feel like other forms of therapy have not gotten them to their goals, are looking for a non-verbal way to express themselves and want a better quality of life.
