Therapists in West Virginia

I like to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable opening up about the most difficult topics in your life or on your mind; meet you where you are in your healing journey in order to gain an understanding of your stressors, what has been poking those emotional bruises, and help identify the goals you wish to achieve. I'm passionate about helping you identify your current triggers, stressors and conflicts in order to help you develop healthier coping strategies to improve those areas of your life.

We specialize in providing personalized holistic approaches to therapy to address challenges such as anxiety, trauma, heightened sensitivity, stress, and/or depression.

Our empathetic and holistic approach is transformative, supporting your journey toward fulfillment and ease in your daily life. Let's work together to help you make positive changes.

Seeking help takes courage and I’m glad that you’re reaching out for support. Therapy is a collaborative process, and it can provide a safe space to explore and navigate challenging situations and experiences. My hope is to help you along the journey toward greater self-understanding so that you may live a fulfilled, authentic life. My areas of special interest include eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, sport performance, anxiety, and depression.

We have openings for clients with Unicare, Aetna Better Health or the The Health Plan between 9 and 2pm. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction or PTSD? Are you looking for "no shame" treatment that is based on how your brain works and changes? We are a group of compassionate counselors who have collaborated together to offer research supported, brain-based, integrative treatment to those who are hurting. Since different parts of the brain are in charge based on stress levels, treatments are most effective when matched with the part of the brain engaged.

I work to create a whole-brain and body approach to healing for each individual client through the use of EMDR. I promote seeking balance in life and advocate to help people feel emotionally and mentally empowered. I also take a trauma-informed approach in helping others better understand themselves, their behavior and how this has impacted their life. It is important to me to meet people where they are in seeking change and healing, because I believe this allows people to experience the power of freedom and choice in improving the overall quality of their life.

Are you tired of being the strong one ALL the time? Does your inner child need to be seen and understood? Therapy can help you learn to love yourself, feel safe in your body and let go of the past. We will tackle the root causes of your present day struggles to heal not only in the short term but also the long term.

Life is full of ups and downs. It can be overwhelming, confusing, challenging or just plain hard!

Do you feel like no one sees you or your pain? Do you feel misunderstood and alone in your thoughts? Are you navigating through life holding on to emotional pain and circumstances that leave you feeling alone or out of control?

It's all about you.

The work I do relates to the years spent on my own personal journey of healing. As someone said: “You cannot take people to a place you have never been yourself.” I believe that healing happens in context and connection. The encounter with another, studying their face, eyes, and expressions, knowing something of their true inner nature, shows the deep magic within and between us. I invite you to walk your healing journey with me. My focus is to provide the space for you to feel attached and safe with another human being, share deeply from your heart, begin to piece together your life-story, and find new meaning and resilience.

I have had good results treating clients of all ages and most mental health problems. I have worked with a lot of children, parents who are trying to get their families reunited after CPS has removed them. Many addictions issues and clients on probation. I have treated many veterans, rape victims, and children and adults who have suffered trauma in their childhood. I have great success using TF-CBT. Most of my clients suffer from Bipolar Disorder (mostly depressive, mostly manic, and several mixed. I have worked with many Psychoses and in Forensics. I love my work and have a wide variety of experience and advanced training.

My philosophy of healing is like working your way through a set of nesting dolls from the outer doll representing why you want to heal: trauma, attachment/relationship injury, depression, grief, and anxiety. The next doll holds the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings of the first doll. The next doll may may hold your negative beliefs you have perceived about yourself, others, and the world. The next doll may hold consequences and life impairments. The final doll represents your core and authentic self. The person you would be without all of the other dolls in relationship to the unity of mind, soul, heart, body and spirit.

The longest journey begins with a single step and I am grateful to walk that path with you. It can be frightening and intimidating to begin the process of therapy; however, that experience can help you to make the changes that lead to a happier and more fulfilled life. Through a collaborative and safe relationship I establish with my clients, progress and change is made. Areas of practice include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, men's concerns, and ADHD and cognitive functioning (including testing services). I also enjoy working with clients from adolescents to seniors.

Emotional or behavioral challenges during childhood and adolescence can be very disruptive to not only the child but the whole family. I provide therapy services during evenings and weekends so that my clients don't have to miss school and to accommodate parents' busy schedules. I have experience helping children and families develop effective coping skills quickly and get the balanced, happy life they deserve.

I provide individual counseling for adult women in my private practice located in Huntington, WV. I specialize in treating trauma and abuse, but am able to provide services for a host of other presenting issues such as anxiety and fear, depression, family and relational issues, grief, life transition, and perinatal (pre and post pregnancy) mental health issues. I am also pleased to offer Christian based counseling if a client desires (Please see website for more info).

I’m Sina, a neurodivergent provisional- LPC and registered dietitian/nutritionist. I work with folks identifying as (or exploring) ADHD, autistic, genderqueer, and more. I also work with folks experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. We know these complex experiences can also come with anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. so if you or someone you know is looking for support in these areas, I’d love to hear from you. I use a relational, neurodivergent-affirming, and weight-inclusive approach to my work with clients, aligning with anti-oppressive and anti-diet frameworks.

My ideal clients are teens or adults who want learn tools for long term happiness. Issues I enjoy treating are substance use, binge eating, grief, loss, trauma, relationship issues, marriage counseling, anxiety and depression. For success, I provide judgement free space and unconditional positive regard, mixed with some humor and direction. I like to dive deep with my clients, utilizing their strengths, which will allow them to become more free and self-sufficient, with healthier relationships.
