Therapists in Goodview, VA

I have enjoyed many years of getting to know and caring for teenagers and adults as both a Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I began my career as a high school psychology teacher and discovered that I loved the students even more than teaching my subject! Since then, many unique challenges – relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and just plain life stress – have come through my office door. I have also studied with the FBI and Secret Service on prevention of domestic/school violence and stalking issues. This varied experience helps me work toward my client’s desired results.

Deployment, divorce, abuse, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence can have a huge impact on you and your family.

Struggling just to get out of bed? Has the motivation that was once there, now gone? Are you tired of feeling like this? I have experience working with a variety of diagnosis to include: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorders, Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, and Psychotic Disorders. Additionally, I have extensive experience with assisting my clients with relationship issues, work/school related stressors, life adjustments, conflict resolution, women's health, grief and loss, self-esteem, domestic violence, substance abuse, and trauma. Let me help you get back to feeling like yourself. I am accepting new patients.

I work with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment, stress, anger management, attention deficit, and relationship issues. Symptoms related to these issues can include feelings of hopelessness, lack of interest in activities that used to bring pleasure, change in appetite, significant weight gain or loss, difficulty sleeping, excessive worry, irritability, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Sometimes these symptoms can be overwhelming and uncomfortable. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches based on treatment goals and how an individual processes thoughts and emotions.

I enjoy "MAKING LIFE & LOVE BETTER." . With my 20 plus years of experience as a relationship counselor, my goal is to provide personal counseling for individuals and couples (married or partnered). My approach incorporates a combination of traditional, contemporary and holistic counseling techniques. You will find my office to be a comfortable living-room like setting conducive to privacy, safety and relaxation. Each session is tailored to meet the special needs of the client or clients. CONFIDENTIALITY is always in place except when permission is given by the client.

Hello, As a clinical director, I understand the importance of understanding and honoring the needs of my clients. My Life experience and clinical understanding inspires me to co-create change with and for my clients. My faith and family have helped me stay balanced and energized for service. I love helping clients uncover facts that were hidden from view. I love seeing a person's eyes light up when they uncover unconscious truths that emerge during counseling. I love seeing the smile and life come back into a person who had begun to doubt whether solutions could be found. It’s exciting! I love my job!

I have enjoyed providing support in mental health for over 20 years now. We all face moments of distress and experience unplanned circumstances in our lives that we simply are not prepared for. It can be difficult to navigate our way through all of the thoughts that may come up or the different levels of pain we tend to experience. I know that reaching out for help can be challenging. We all have our own healing journeys and I am grateful to be able to help individuals with discovering their own path to healing, growth and change.

I enjoy helping people establish and maintain relationships. It could be a relationship with your significant other, colleagues, or your family where values, beliefs, expectations, or even the cultures may be different. I also help people maintain a positive relationship with themselves by achieving an internal balance and being at peace with their past experiences.

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I'm grateful for your courage to take this step. I’ve spent over a decade helping adults, youth (14 & older on case-by-case basis) and families overcome many different challenges: PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions. I also offer therapeutic support to those who want to grow their family through adoption. I use CBT, mindfulness, substance use recovery methods, strengths-based approach and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). EMDR is scientifically proven as an effective form of treatment for PTSD, depression/anxiety and distressing events.

Our goal in therapy is to help you improve coping skills. We will help you identify current and past stressors. We will learn to talk about feelings rather than internalizing feelings, thereby, decreasing your risk of becoming sick. Verbalizing your goals can prevent you from “acting out” our feelings; “What We Say & What We Do Will Match Up.” We live in a stressful, fast paced, changing world with constant losses daily; no wonder we all feel anxious. Psychotherapy can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves & others. Being conscious of patterns in our lives can be one of the first steps towards change.

I'm passionate about helping clients work through trauma/PTSD, anxiety & panic attacks, interpersonal relationship concerns, depression, loneliness, perfectionism, dysfunctional family systems, people-pleasing, communication issues, multicultural identity concerns, faith struggles, and ADHD. I strive to take the time to engage with each person’s unique personality and story and believe that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I take a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy - meaning focus is on you as a whole person and reviewing your goals and concerns.

I work to help my clients create a stronger connection to their essential self by using an integrative approach to wellness and health. I provide my clients with resources, support, and education. Through my roles as facilitator, guide, and nurturer, I provide a safe, sacred space for clients to explore their vulnerability, potential, and limitations. Grounded in the essential self, clients can observe their present situation with more awareness and can actively access their full potential for shifting any blocks, barriers and distortions that may be preventing them from achieving their goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a diverse background in mental health; working with issues including anxiety, depression, attachment injuries, domestic violence, parenting concerns, communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, Adverse Childhood Experiences/family of origin, grief/loss, chronic illness, etc. I prefer to use a holistic model, taking into account biopsychosocial factors in a person's life, rather than treating symptoms alone. When we work towards harmony among all systems in the body and with the rest of the world, we can find deeper, sustainable healing.

In addition helping women heal from traumatic experiences, depression, substance abuse, domestic violence, sex trafficking, as well as other adverse experiences and symptoms.
