Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

Are you desiring to reclaim your life after a painful loss? Are recent changes in your normal routine have you feeling emotionally drained? Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. Whether it's the death of a loved one, a divorce, career change, a move, change in health, loss of freedom, or any of the 40+ losses a person may experience during their life time; I will walk this journey with you! Also, with 35 years as Substance Abuse Treatment Professional and an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist, an additional aspect of my work is centered in the correlation between addiction, grief and relapse.

I have been a clinician for 23 years. I have a Master's from the U of MD Social Work program. I have enjoyed wide-ranging training and employment in many settings, including supervising a county-wide suicide hotline, in an adolescent residential facility, intensive outpatient and in-home therapy. I have worked in diverse settings, such as Johns Hopkins Methadone/Suboxone program and for an AZ Native Tribal Nation. I am experienced in diverse treatment modalities, including DBT (couples and family) dual-diagnosis treatment, Imago and in Imago/communication focused couples therapy, and multi-systemic or strategic family therapy.

I am dedicated to helping my clients identify their potential, and opportunities for positive change. I help clients attain their counseling goals through cognitive behavioral therapy principles, with a person-centered approach.

Doesn't it make sense to talk with someone who has actually experienced what you are going through? Someone who understands drinking and/or substance use can both cause problems AND provide much needed relief. I have been where you are, or somewhere close, and together we can find a way out. My ability to help is grounded in 10 years of active addiction, followed by 27 years of continuous recovery and 14 years of academic training (MSW, PhD). I understand the science, and I know the suffering. I work with others who have suffered, their families and loved ones.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, or the lingering effects of trauma, you are not alone. We all face stress and uncertainty and sometimes our usual coping mechanisms just aren't enough. In counseling, you will have the space to freely process your thoughts and feelings while working on new skills that can help you improve your mental health and relationships. As a therapist, I take a collaborative and person-centered approach designed to empower you to reach your goals. I also work from a multicultural, anti-racist, neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ affirmative framework with my clients.

Hello! I’m Jen and I specialize in working with the queer community, trauma, and substance use (you do not need to qualify for all or any of these to come see me). If complex trauma and PTS/D symptoms are things you struggle with, I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. In my office you choose what you’d like to address and what is off limits. This is your space to explore and process what you need and want to. You are the only expert of yourself. I like to meet you where you’re at and explore what is challenging and/or painful. My goal is to help my community heal and find wholeheartedness and acceptance, exactly as you are.

Le’Keisha is eclectic and uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Reality Based, and Psycho-education. A holistic approach is utilized by exploring with and educating clients about how mind and body are interconnected. Le’Keisha believes that when a person has hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change. Exploring, acknowledging, and coping with past traumas of childhood tragedies are profound when attempting to treat mental health and substance use disorders.

I believe that therapy can be useful to anyone and everyone, whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or have sought therapy in the past. There is always something to learn, unpack, or explore more in every phase of life that you enter. In my work, I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental and trauma-informed so that the person feels as safe and as comfortable as possible.

Speaking from experience, I know that it can be challenging to ask for help, so, I'm glad that you are here. As a LPC, I create a non-judgmental space for us to work towards achieving your goals. Some of my clients need a soft place to land & support through transitions, others may want to gain a greater insight into themselves and alleviate symptoms of grief, anxiety, or depression. Other folks I work with may be looking to create healthier relationships with those around them or have a desire to better regulate their emotions. Please let me know how I can be of service as I look forward to helping you on your wellness journey.

I approach all therapy with an understanding of the ways our childhood, the environment around us, and the systems we live in impact our mental health and who we are as people. I use a strengths-based and client-centered approach that centers compassion and a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool in growing in healing and recovery. I have over nine years of experience supporting survivors of child abuse, dating and domestic violence, and other forms of trauma.

Anxiety, depression, severe stress, trauma, addiction, and other mental or emotional health struggles can prevent us from living our best, most fulfilling life. I am a firm believer in meeting a person where they are at when it comes to supporting them in their journey towards healing. Working collaboratively, we can heal old wounds and implement skills that can be effective, stabilizing, and healing. These skills can assist in improving your quality of life and better coping with life’s ongoing challenges.

Current availability after 5:00pm. Mental health is something we all may struggle with at various stages in our lives, whether due to anxiety, depression, substance use, or other issues. Although it is not always easy, talking about our experiences can promote self-awareness, growth, and healing over time. As you are preparing to take the next steps in your journey, it would be a privilege to support you.

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.

Accepting NEW clients! Do you feel like no matter what you do, you keep ending up in the same place with the same problems? Maybe you’re trying to manage anxiety, depression, or anger. It could be a past trauma or an ongoing battle with substance use, which can also impact your job, your relationships, etc. Feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck can make daily life a struggle, not to mention the pain of feeling disconnected from who you really are or want to be. I believe we all can grow beyond old patterns, reactions, and less healthy ways of coping so we can experience emotional security, confident connection, and lasting recovery.
