Therapists in Nottoway County, VA

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.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, loss or difficulty in personal relationships? Do you feel isolated and distant from the ones you care most about? Do you desire change, but feel stuck and afraid to take the first step toward change? If so, you are not alone and there is HOPE. I provide compassionate, confidential, effective, and ethical counseling in a collaborative manner that empowers you to identify road blocks, potential solutions, and supports your work toward becoming the best you.

Life can become complicated, overwhelming, and difficult. Counseling services create an important relationship in your life that allows for the framework to alleviate a number of struggles: anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, family conflict, adolescent struggles, and self exploration. Counseling provides a safe place to take risks, be vulnerable, gain support and become empowered to make changes in one’s life.

Maybe you are tired of worrying, or tired of feeling tired? You woke up today, and thought how am I going to get through this day. Or, maybe you sometimes feel concerned about habits or thoughts that you have and have not figured out how to change them. If so, I would love to hear from you; I hope you will consider reaching out to me. I can offer a 15-20 minute consultation by phone or video to see if we might be a good fit. From the comfort of your own space, I can meet with you via teletherapy and meet you where you are today.

I have a wide and extensive background working with children, adolescents, and adults providing therapeutic individual, group, and/or family psychotherapy with varying mental health diagnosis. I have worked in a variety of settings to include, but not limited to: schools, hospitals, jails, private practices, and community settings. I provide a warm environment to encourage a client to openly express their thoughts/feelings so that we can focus on settings goals, identifying feelings and patterns, developing healthy/positive attitudes and behaviors, and problem solving.

Are you someone who is struggling to find a safe space to talk about your anxiety, depression, or grief? Have you been trying to cope with your relationship issues, stress, or trauma by yourself and have not found relief? By working together, we can tend to your individual needs. I specialize in working with family conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, and anger management. I incorporate positive coping skills in a judgment free environment that promotes self-growth which results in lifelong changes. I use cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and mindfulness therapy to help facilitate growth in my sessions.

IC Wellness is offering virtual sessions only in a safe place where you will find enlightenment and draw upon your inner resources and strengths to produce mental health and awareness. The goal is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment upon which a strong clinical relationship can be built. It is my belief that through this partnership, clients are best able to draw on their individual strengths and capabilities.

I have more than 20 years in the human service field, helping people navigate their way through life's challenges. I have a Masters in Human Servies and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I served 10 years in the Military, both Navy and Army. I help individuals explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that prevent personal growth through identifying what changes need to be made to successfully journey toward a healthy, happy, and hopeful life.

Emotional safety and the therapeutic alliance are of upmost importance to me and the work we do together. That’s why I incorporate many different treatment techniques and utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet clients where they are. In the first sessions, I encourage my clients to define their wants, needs, and boundaries while I assist them in setting their own goals. I believe that therapy should be individualized to accommodate the differences in each of us that showcase our resilience and beauty. By allowing the clients to set their own goals, I hope to encourage them to feel heard and empowered.

In our lives we can struggle as individuals and within our family systems, regardless of whether we are children, teens, or adults. I believe therapy is a way to take time to focus and challenge beliefs around the different stressors in each individual’s life.  Stress is a part of everyday life, there is no way to avoid it. I believe that with empathy and therapeutic support individuals can face these stressors head on and work to improve their quality of life, inner strength, and happiness. Therapy should be a safe space to explore and challenge uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through compassion and empathy.

I help clients find perspective and balance in their situations. Obstacles and challenges are really opportunities for personal growth. My specialties include working with addictions, grief/loss, couple's and family counseling, trauma and PTSD; and mood and anxiety disorders. I have a B.A. in Psychology and Master's in Counseling from the College of William and Mary. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker with clinical experience across a variety of settings, including Intensive In-Home (IIH), Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT), crisis intervention, school-based, community-based, and military and family lifestyle counseling. I have experience working with the military population, adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families.

Adam Alderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia who has over 11 years of experience providing clinical assessment and therapeutic care to children, teens, adults, and couples seeking help with depression/anxiety, stress management, LGBTQIA+, family transition, and many other of life's issues. Adam completed his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology as well as his Master of Science in Counseling Psychology at Angelo State University of Texas.

As parents, we all want our children to be happy well adjusted individuals who are taking steps toward reaching their full potential. So it goes without saying that one of the most difficult things to do is to watch our children struggle in school and feel powerless in knowing how to help them. If your child is performing below grade level or exhibiting behavioral problems at home and school, these constant struggles may be evoking feelings of intense sadness, anxiety, and frustration in both you and your child and negatively impacting other areas of both your lives.

Young, old, rich or poor--- it does not matter your struggle as my virtual doors are open to assist you in achieving optimal wellness. I believe in meeting you where you are and offers therapy and wellness services in the office, home, community and schools. From the child struggling with ADHD, anxiety, or defiance problems to the adult grappling with depression, suicidal thoughts, or marital problems; to the elderly client mentally struggling with losing their independence or limited mobility, I strive to provide seamless and personally meaningful treatment and care.

In my 20 years of practice, one statement has guided the core of my therapeutic relationships: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" (Maya Angelou). As a direct, supportive, practical therapist, I seek to help you shift from "just surviving" to "actively thriving" in your life. Use of sound, evidenced-based theory coupled with unconditional positive regard helps you to achieve balance in your life, becoming empowered to be the writer in your life story. You have value no matter what obstacles you may have faced.

We love working with clients eager to discover their identity, purpose, and strengths. As clinicians, we work with individuals and families on developing healthy relationships, interpersonal dynamics, and communication. Clinicians in our office especially work well with people processing ADHD diagnoses and symptoms, spiritual trauma, identity and purpose, and anxiety and trauma. We incorporate animal-therapy, art, play, and other mindful activities into sessions. Our clinicians provide affirming care to all clients and are passionate about collaborating with clients to advocate for equitable support structures in various contexts.

As an eclectic therapist, I draw upon a broad set of clinical and life experiences to best meet the needs of my clients. I like to incorporate the unique strengths and knowledge brought to therapy by each individual, couple, and family who I work with. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
