Therapists in Rockbridge County, VA

Are you an adult woman who feels overwhelmed, unfulfilled in your relationships, depressed, or anxious and is ready to change? Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed and could use clarity and guidance to calm the chaos in your life? Maybe your relationships are falling apart, and you don't know what to do. I'm Kimberly Best Johnson, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, ordained minister, and certified Health Coach. With extensive education and clinical experience in Christian Counseling, I specialize in providing hope and support to adult women like you seeking to improve their lives.

You work so hard to do what’s right. Always trying to live up to expectations from society, your family, and yourself for what a man is supposed to be. But no matter how tirelessly you toil or how much energy you expend, it never seems to make any difference. You’re still stuck in the same place – unfulfilled, disconnected, and increasingly frustrated at your inability to fix anything. It feels like you’re slowly being crushed under the weight of your responsibilities to everyone. You want so badly to break free of this terrible cycle, but that seems impossible. You need help, but you’re unsure where to turn. It feels hopeless.

Although my therapeutic approach is an eclectic style to counseling, I also care about my clients, and utilize in-depth listening skills to first identity the problem, and then help you understand how that problem personally affects you and the ones you love. Then together we can find solutions that work. In this region, I use video therapy, which has become a viable alternative to face-to-face therapy. It provides a secure and convenient method of processing your life in the privacy of your own home. This is a proven and successful option for many of my national clients.

Hey! My name is Garika and I'm a licensed professional therapist out of Virginia along with licensing in Indiana. I spent the first 7 years post-grad working in a residential facility with adolescents and last 2 years proving care through telehealth therapy to people from many walks of life. Over the years, I have worked with various diagnoses including depression, anxiety, ADHD, severe trauma, PTSD, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders; along with areas like family issues and grief/loss.

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.

Are you or your teen suffering to overcome past hurt, trauma, or depression? Does your marriage or relationship seem to be falling apart?

Hi! I’m Jimmy, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with teens and young adults struggling with school, depression, anxiety, transitions, rule-breaking, and more. I also specialize in working with children identified with developmental disorders and their families. In addition to working with younger clients, I also have extensive experience working with adults across the lifespan on addiction challenges, big life transitions, and family/relationship conflict. Through individual, couple, or family sessions, we can work together to help you identify what matters most in your life and create realistic goals.

When our life and relationships are good, everything is good. But when our relationships are facing challenges or when there are stressors in our lives, our whole world feels inside out. My therapeutic focus is to have my clients navigate through difficult times and emotions in order to better express themselves, communicate more effectively with loved ones, and improve self-understanding using a Cognitive Behavioral approach. Everyone has a valued voice and I believe fostering a sense of belonging and self-understanding is key to strong, healthy relationships.

Hi, I'm Dr. Albach. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Doctor of Psychology in practice since 2001. I believe that Mental Health is not a destination but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you are going. That is why I am here to help create change through healthier minds, behaviors and thoughts.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, with a primary focus and expertise on those that are currently struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma. Other areas of expertise include family conflict, difficult life transitions, career/vocational issues, and challenges unique to men during this season.

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.

"Worried Well" describes those who are dealing with life the best they can in spite of anxious thoughts, depressed moods, overwhelming stress, or grieving. Juggling demands of work and home, struggling with relationships or divorce or a loved one's addiction, or experiencing significant losses can make anyone doubt life will get better. Some feel guilty or selfish for experiencing these thoughts and feelings. Many question God or harbor anger and resentment toward others. Some are simply numb and can no longer find joy in the journey. You are not alone!

I am trained in EMDR for relief of trauma and both behavioral and psychodynamic/talking therapies which emphasize positive habits, good health and personal insight. Any change starts from within and sometimes we all need another perspective to grasp the whole picture so that problems or obstacles can be sensibly, sensitively and effectively handled. I work from a strengths-based orientation whereby the talents, skills, and interests can be identified. So we go from there, to where the individual learns to utilize those strengths in resolving problems, conflicts, stressors as well as finding sources of comfort, competence and confidence.

I have a dynamic yet relaxed style of therapy that is emotion and interpersonally-based. Through our shared therapeutic relationship, my aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space in which we'll explore your concerns. I approach therapy as a collaborative and creative process. We'll work together toward a deeper understanding of yourself and your life experiences through reflection on your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, personal strengths, and challenges. My down-to-earth style is ideal for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, self & sexual identity development, and healing traumatic and distressing life experiences.

My experience includes working with couples, families, and individuals on relationship issues, family conflict, depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction, and women’s issues. We will work together to identify and work on issues you bring to our sessions. My approach to counseling operates from a strength base approach to help you identify your strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness that will aid you to meet your goals through your active involvement as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but often it will be slow and deliberate.

Has our current health climate inspired you to make a change? Spiritual direction is the process of exploring a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human, and any aspect of your unique, personal, and sacred spirituality. For some, this includes exploring your relationship with the divine, deepening your spiritual identity, or building spiritual practices. For others, it includes exploring spiritual beliefs or values and the degree to which these fit with your personhood. It can involve asking questions, sharing joy, fears, or struggles, getting ‘unstuck’, or creating change in an informed and intentional way.

I am Certified as a therapist in the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach(ACRA) in helping teens and families with substance use problems. Dialectical Behavior therapy is a model useful for addictions, cutting, and mood disorders. Attachment based family therapy, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior therapy.

I specialize in counseling children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with a range of issues--from managing the stress of everyday life to more serious difficulties, such as mood disorders, trauma, and anger management.

As such, I am solution-focused and strive to help my clients learn new methods of solving their problems and managing emotions. I believe in practicing therapy that is translatable to the real world, as small changes can greatly improve a young person's experience and trajectory of life.

I want your input on what the problem is and what plan will work with you personally. We will gather all our information and decide on a plan of action to get you back to where you want to be as quickly as possible and develop a way to keep you there.
