Therapists in Fluvanna County, VA

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.

**New clients for telehealth only.** I believe it is possible to live a life in which you are fulfilled and thriving, and that the power to do so dwells within you! Life doesn't move in straight lines, and often veers down pathways we don't expect. As your therapist, I am here to join you in your journey out of stress and depression toward contentment and joy.

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.

I work with clients who are athletes or other high achievers who are struggling with stress or balance in their lives. Many of my clients generally function well but need to work through a relationship issue, or want to learn to better manage anxiety. Many of my clients are also working through identity issues related to gender or sexuality, faith crisis work, motherhood, or being defined by their sports performance (i.e. Who am I besides someone who is really good at my sport?). An unhealthy emphasis on perfectionism when it comes to body image, performance, or religion is a common issue I help clients work through.

We long to be seen, heard, and loved for who we truly are. Attachments to our truth is reflected in the way we feel about ourselves. Good therapy offers a path for removing the blocks that keep our true selves small and hidden. With a commitment to your authentic self you can connect to the pure light that is within you. The change that you experience will be deep, lasting and real in ways you’d never imagine after years of being alone. Imagine the change you seek now and together we will look back and we will look forward- All that’s required is your presence. Mahalo for your consideration!

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a specialization in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I value evidence based therapies that are demonstrated to improve mental health. Many of my patients are active duty, veteran and federally employed (civilian). I learned to treat emotional trauma by working with PTSD field experts at the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. I offer gold-standard PTSD interventions endorsed by the National Center for PTSD and the American Psychological Association: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE).

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.

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.

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.
