Therapists in Rappahannock County, VA

The famous love story has always ended with couples in love with one another, but what about when they reach another stage? What about when couples fall into being in life with one another instead? If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone and I am here and happy to help. Couples therapy is about listening to understand, rather than listening to respond. Remembering this, together we can work on addressing the true client - the relationship you and your partner share with one another.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I currently have a few openings in my schedule! I own a teletherapy practice and see clients in VA, NC, AZ, and UT. I help adults and teens who want to work through relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, and grief/loss. Other common presenting problems include anxiety, depression, academic/professional stress, faith crises, gender/sexual identity issues, and a desire to improve athletic performance by improving your mental game. Many of my adult clients generally function well on their own but need help working through a specific issue such as how to set boundaries with a parent.

Do you need a safe place to explore an ongoing struggle, an important relationship, or yourself? Inviting a trained counselor to walk alongside you as you examine your private struggles can create clarity and capacity that leads to momentum in your personal and relational development. My therapeutic approach is warm, non-judgmental, curious, and collaborative. I create uniquely tailored treatment plans that are based on your goals and strengths. I will use expertise and research-informed interventions to equip you with knowledge and skills that will support your continued progress long after we complete our work together.

As any mental health professional would know—especially a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience—there are no ideal clients. All clients are imperfect, struggling to make sense of their emotional confusions, flaws and wounds. Each client seeks from therapy some form of healing and deeper understanding; but the process of doing so is unclear and uncertain. The psychotherapist role is to provide a safe, open and nonjudgmental relationship in which painful and often hidden personal issues can be explored and better understood. Then the challenges of taking small, fragile steps towards healing can be faced together.

Are you feeling alone in your relationships? Do you love your partner, but can't seem to get along? Are you longing for a stronger sexual connection? Do you wonder if your partner still loves you? Have you lost one another through difficult life challenges? Has addiction, infidelity or other battles left you feeling you'll never recover? There is a way out. There is hope. I can help. I want your relationship to be full of love, friendship, meaningful sex, and lasting security. Give me a call and let's talk.

Are you wondering whether your worries about food, exercise, and weight are becoming a serious problem? I can help you understand the extent of the problem and help you understand if therapy would be a good option for you. While I have a wide range of experience treating many issues, I specialize in treating women and teens who struggle with eating issues, body acceptance, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults and their parents to establish a family structure conducive to recovery.

Marriage is hard work no matter who you marry! And having a satisfying relationship takes effort. Sometimes it's not enough to navigate it on your own. I specialize in helping couples work through marital dissatisfaction, communication issues, infidelity, and addictions. I also enjoy working with pre-marital couples. I am a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator.

With a compassionate, genuine, and non judgemental approach, my goal is to see individuals and couples working toward a happier, healthier life. Often, we hold deep beliefs about ourselves and others that do not serve us. Those beliefs can hold us back from achieving our best life. I work to facilitate healing in those who are struggling to find peace with themselves and in their relationships. I believe our relationships affect our lives in nearly every aspect and healthy relationships are born from healthy individuals. I enjoys working with individuals and couples to identify what their goals are and work towards harmony.

It is important to provide a supportive, attuned presence to help my patients work through the struggles, problems, and difficulties that have brought them into treatment. I build a relationship of trust with my patients in order to help them feel the support and care I have for them. I believe that diligent exploration of a patient's negative emotions and problematic relationships leads to healing. Through the use of simple challenges, highlighting of interpersonal and emotional patterns, encouragement, and honest feedback, my objective is to help the patient feel the love and support needed to heal and change.

I enjoy working with individuals that recognize that something needs to change and just aren't sure which way to go. Together, we can explore your motivation to change and learn to live life based on your values, goals, and dreams. Clients who come to see me often have addiction issues, sexual issues, legal issues, relationship issues, and struggles with self image and self worth. We will take a solution focused approach as well as explore deeper, more complex issues.

We all have a story and experience to share. I am here to sit with you in yours. I believe in compassion and personal empowerment as the doorway to change and real growth. If you are struggling with expressing emotions, managing behavior, speaking up for yourself, finding personal value, struggles in your relationship or with your confidence, identity, or faith, you do not have to do so alone. I believe in providing you with a safe place to explore, set goals, and to be heard.

Finding a therapist is daunting; I value the work you've done so far. I specialize in trauma-focused care for transitions, eating disorders, and attachment wounds. You may feel stuck, unsure, doubtful that much can improve your way of thinking and relating to yourself, others, and the world around you. Most people attempt to change behaviors instead of the roots of how they came to be; I want to help your heal you inner critic, explore self-compassion, acknowledge your values, and voice your boundaries. I want you to find support and an ally in me. And if you don't, I want to help you find someone else who can be that for you.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a compassionate and dedicated counselor who believes that each individual possesses the incredible power for change within themselves. My mission is to guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. In the warm and accepting space I create, you are invited to explore your thoughts and feelings freely. I understand that seeking counseling can be an intimidating step, and I want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Here, you can share your experiences, challenges, and aspirations without fear of judgment.

Innercalm is a safe and welcoming space for individuals to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions, allowing them to find peace and clarity within themselves. Through a combination mindful walking, somatic and attuning to nature practices, clients are able to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, true self and spiritual wellbeing. The hope is to help clients navigate through life's challenges and stresses, promoting self-awareness and personal growth. I use expressive art, nature and walking to foster an environment where clients are able to delve into their inner world and uncover the root causes of their struggles.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! Do you feel like you have tried everything and it still isn't working? Are you tired of existing in life and not fully living life? Do you feel stuck, depressed, or anxious? I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere so you can feel free to express your needs and work together on a plan that best fits your needs. I have worked in emergency crisis services, crisis management services, and trauma for years and this has brought with it the experience to be able to quickly meet and address your immediate needs and then work toward addressing the long-term needs.

Therapy and case management is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. As a counselor, I will be using an integrative approach incorporating many techniques from different theoretical approaches and using Narrative therapy, behavioral therapy, A.C.T, and person-centered therapy. Each client will be treated differently, ensuring that his or her goals are incorporated into the treatment process. Therapy will include some of the following: self-awareness techniques, relaxation techniques, behavioral modification, role-playing, journaling, psycho-education, and identifying and incorporating new coping skills.

Often the first step towards making a change is taking a realistic look at where you've been, where you are now, and where you want to be. Although it can be painfully difficult at first, you can begin making changes, one day at a time, that will take you closer to living the life you desire. Using EMDR and talk therapy, we'll focus on healing the wounds of the past, finding joy in the present, and bringing clarity to your future. It's time for you let go of the things that hold you back and start to discover all the ways in which you were meant to shine. Hope and healing are at the heart of what I have to offer.

Seeking help takes courage and strength. Sometimes we are simply surviving in our lives but desire to thrive. We may struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, challenging relationships, loss of relationships, loss of self esteem or confidence, etc. I believe there are turning points in our lives when we are ready to work and we need someone who can help us. I have over 22 years working with clients and have been inspired by their strength, persistence, courage, vulnerability, desire to change and hope. Sometimes, when all feels dark and hopeless, we need the help of others. I am happy to help you in your journey.
