Family Therapy in 23456

Hi there, I'm Dawn! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social worker for over 25 years and have been working as a Behavioral Health Clinician providing individual, couples, and family therapy since then. I focus in areas such as anxiety, coping skills, depression, stress, life transitions, and self esteem, amongst others. I have extensive knowledge and experience in providing trauma focused therapeutic work, and work towards my client's treatment goals while building on my client's strengths and abilities.

Owner - Wellness Matters, LLC. Specializing in Relationship Issues, PTSD, Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, Depression & Anxieties. I often work with those who desire a clearer view of their life but don’t know how to begin. One of my passions is destigmatizing mental health treatment and providing a safe space for you to clarify your goals and organize your emotional life. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to address the things that are keeping you stuck and free you to focus on what brings you joy.

Great to meet you! I go by the nickname, Jay. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 10+ yrs of experience in diverse settings (rural, military, college, inpatient, & VA disability evals). I believe in our natural strength and that we all need help sometimes. I will listen, support, and provide a trusted space for you to explore your feelings and concerns. I will teach you how to approach difficult and necessary conversations within yourself and with others. I will help untangle what feels messy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, military/veteran stress, LGBTQ+, grief, & family / relationships issues.

Not accepting clients at this time. Have you been struggling with unsettling feelings in your personal relationship and you can’t seem to figure out how to make things any different? I believe we all get into a relationship to feel connected to someone and to be able to grow and share our lives with another human. When we don’t connect, we feel uncomfortable. Whether it’s because of communication issues, different schedules, differences in parenting, or ways of managing stress; if our partner doesn’t understand us, we feel alone. My role as therapist is to help you identify what you want different in your life.

Accepting New Clients! Have you been feeling overwhelmed, you just don’t know what to do and nothing seems to be working? The emotional and mental weight of life can often lead us to feel unsure and unsafe in our own mind and in our bodies. My passion aligns with helping individuals navigate and manage their emotions and thoughts by developing awareness of their triggers, acceptance as to why this may be happening, and coping skills to help us transform/evolve. I use an integrative approach including traditional psychotherapy as well as somatic interventions, breathing exercises, Yoga, meditations and guided visualizations.

As a therapist I believe that you are uniquely capable of facing all the challenges that life bring you. The answers to the pain that you are experiencing are already held within you. The process of therapy is to help you tap into those internal resources. My role as your therapist is to walk alongside you bringing clarity to the confusion. I specialize in individual and family counseling with a focus on divorce, divorce recovery, and coparenting therapy. During these difficult times of transition you may experience depression or anxiety. I am hear to help you return your life to an even kilter.

Are you experiencing stress that is impacting your life? Are your relationships struggling? I believe in the importance of creating and maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships through my work with children, adolescents, families and couples to achieve the relationships they desire. Most of the time things happen and we manage fine, but sometimes things happen that throw us for a loop and we need some additional support. Using Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (thoughts and behaviors), Family Systems Therapy, and Play Therapy as appropriate, I help individuals and families identify and use their strengths to facilitate their goals for growth and change.

Our practice has limited availability at this time! Each of us are unique, and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in all of our lives where we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situations to help us find ways to make positive change, and move through these trying times. We use an eclectic and collaborative approach combining both psychotherapy and neurotherapy in the therapeutic process. Our focus is allowing individuals to use their own strengths and weaknesses to develop a pathway for a healthy balanced life.

I enjoy helping individuals find balance by addressing the issues that keep them stuck. Feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxious and wondering how to work through painful experiences from the past? Sometimes the most important thing you can do is to show up and ask for help. My work is to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere for you to work through your discomfort and create a healing experience. I hold the belief that we are all resilient and have the internal capacity to heal ourselves. An essential element in this effort is the development of a trusting relationship between client and therapist.

We are an outpatient mental health clinic that serves children, adolescents and adults experiencing challenges. We provide innovative individualized, evidence-based interventions to address an array of life's diverse challenges, so that each individual can reach his or her full potential. All of us encounter problems in living at some point in our lives. Sometimes, those problems interfere with our ability to function at home, work, or school or in other important areas of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience in the metal health field. I provide individual, family, marriage, and group therapy in multiple settings. My treatment approaches include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessingl), biological interventions that promote brain regulation (Neurofeedback therapy), structural family therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The treatment methods that I use assist in resolving depression, anxiety, trauma related issues (PTSD), ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and relational issues in the patients I work with at Waves Psychotherapy Services, P.C.

Change can be exciting...and scary. Finding the right person to assist you through the change is important. I can help you deal with issues of anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, relationship conflicts, or marital issues. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, energy psychology techniques, mindfulness, and family systems therapy I can guide you to a more peaceful and self-fulfilled place in your life.

Many of my clients need help with self-esteem, PTSD, ADHD, mother/daughter issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, emotional & narcissistic abuse, postpartum depression, infertility, trauma, child development and parenting issues, and relationship issues. I have 15 years of experience with children, families, teenage girls, college girls, and women. I will help you or your family member access the strengths that have been overshadowed by life's challenges. We will work together to help you find your way no matter what the circumstances may be. I am practical, compassionate, and nonjudgmental and will be invested in your care.

I have been a psychotherapist for 30 plus years. Intially, I worked at The Menninger Foundation and later at Eastern Virginia Psychiatric Institute Adult Unit. I was an associate professor at EVMS in family therapy where I taught and coordinated training workshops for the Family Therapy Institute. In 1986, I joined the private practice of Clinical Associates. In 2012, my psychiatrist husband and I moved our location to Laskin Road. I am an Approved Supervisor in the American Association of Marital and Family Therapists and specialize in marital therapy, pre-marital counseling, divorce and conflict resolution in couples.

LeRoyal Parker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Theoretical approaches I use to draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe that sometimes a smile can hide the pain that you would not want to share with anyone else. Anxiety issues, self-esteem issues, and even family issues can lead to difficulty forming lasting and healthy relationships, both personal and intimate.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing for the past 7 years in the Richmond and Hampton Roads area. Previously, I worked as a school counselor in VA, NC and GA helping youth from 10 to 18 years old reach their full potential. Varied experiences in education and community mental health have led me to the following beliefs: People are more alike than different; Fairness to all people regards of race, nationality or social class; Uniqueness and value can be found in everyone.

Life can get hard, no matter how old you are or how “great” you appear to have it. Navigating through daily stressors can take a toll on you, and make it hard to concentrate at work and(or) school, communicate with your family and friends, and do the things you usually love. These stressors can include relationship concerns, peer conflicts, parental conflicts/difficulties, continuing to make“bad” decisions; unresolved childhood concerns, un-fulfillment at work, or difficulties dealing with past trauma.

Our clients are couples and individuals pursuing healing and understanding through their interactions with their significant others and with the world. For the most part, couples attend our center to understand themselves and their significant others and to creating meaningful changes, resulting in genuine connection with one another.

Life is a process of change and growth and I am here to help you navigate that journey. My goal is to create a supportive, trusting, and empowering therapeutic environment where you can feel free to express yourself fully without judgment. Together, we can work to identify aspects of your life that may be keeping you stuck or causing you distress and to find unique solutions to your needs. Reaching out for help can feel scary, embarrassing, or like you are too weak to handle life alone but on the other side of these feelings is the opportunity for increased self-confidence, improved mood, and greater life satisfaction.
