Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and/or depression? Do feel like your life is out of control due to obsessions with food, alcohol or drugs? Do you have unwanted behaviors that you cannot seem to change? I believe that we all have the ability to heal from emotional pain and suffering and that we sometimes need a little help to do so. Through a variety of techniques, I can help you can adjust thought processes, decrease the intensity of emotions, change behaviors, learn new skills and begin to experience a sense of peace and balance in your life.

I am Shannon Fowler. I have a PhD in clinical psychology. I try to approach therapy as a collaborative process with each person. I also try to create an environment that is safe and respectful. I have experience entreating many different types of mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. I also have experience helping with behavior change around medical issues like diabetes, obesity, chronic pain, etc.

Self-growth isn't easy. Making the decision to grow and heal is even more difficult. Know that you won't be walking down the path of healing by yourself. I'm excited to see the work that you and I will accomplish and the goals you'll achieve by choosing yourself, growth, and healing! I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating and body dysmorphia. Blending my clinical experience and neuroscience educational and research background, I help clients understand the function of their eating disorder and root of their negative body image to help them work towards body respect and unconditional nourishment.

Often times it is hard to articulate what we are feeling. Maybe you feel stuck, worried, or are having a hard time saying no to others. It makes sense to respond to these emotions by burying, avoiding, or resisting. But if left unprocessed, these beliefs begin to impact our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our lives! My goal of therapy is to provide a safe space for individuals to feel seen, heard, and valued where you can begin to process your emotions and grow in your self-awareness.

Eating Disorders create suffering for those who experience them and everyone around. Finding a treatment team can be daunting task. As an ED Specialist I see my role as both educator orienting folks to the treatment process as well as treatment provider. As your therapist my work is to help you understand and work with emotion skillfully, so that maladaptive coping skills such as avoidance, aggression, disordered eating and self harm do not run roughshod over your life. As a meditator and experienced E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher I can help you to find the present moment and put you back in your life, no matter the issue you face.

Accepting New Clients! I strive to help every client reach their goals, whether it's to "just stay alive" or to "determine the meaning of life." Everyone can benefit from therapy and I am here to help you on your journey to better wellness and optimal mental health. I believe in meeting clients where they're at, in supporting them in every part of their journey, and that there is always something to gain in therapy. Whether you are experiencing clinical depression, psychosis, disordered eating, self-harm, or relationship struggles, I am here to help you navigate your way through those stormy waters.

I am passionate about helping people. I enjoy seeing growth, change, and seeing my patients identify hidden potentials. I enjoy seeing my patients being comfortable to express themselves during sessions.

Nothing changes, if nothing changes. When your life feels like a constant struggle or going nowhere, then therapy may be in your best interest. Our mental and emotional life, like anything requires maintenance to keep things in good working order. I won't explore the past in exhaustive detail. Rather, we will identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep you adrift or unhealthy. If your relationships are troubling, you are not alone. They are the most common cause of distress and contribute heavily to anxiety & depression. Engaging in therapy is a major life decision. Decide mindfully about the best fit for you.

Our clients require training and education on ways to improving coping mechanisms when living with a mental health illness/diagnosis. We train, monitor, and educate clients on skills development for living independently. We teach clients about their psychotropic medication and ensure medication management. We connect and educate clients to and about community resources. We also demonstrate, train, and model self-advocacy skills to our clients. Our clients may have treatment history that includes substance abuse or doctor's recommendation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in mindfulness and acceptance based therapies. I help my clients become more aware of their thoughts and emotions and to learn how to manage them in a way that creates a sense of peace and freedom. I try to balance processed based therapy with skills training in order to give space for insight development but also to teach practical tools for managing distress. With a strong emphasis on values clarification, I help clients discover what is truly meaningful in their lives and work together to find ways to make active, long lasting change.

People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

Hello I am Laura Cahill! I am a passionate, energetic, and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a love for the art of engagement in the work of therapy. Do you feel like your emotions have taken over and pushed you out of the driver's seat in life? In life, we often experience challenges, unexpected stress and transitions, trauma, hurt, grief and loss. Understandably, we may struggle with powerful emotions that seem to almost overtake us. Part of the human experience is wanting to feel in control of our inner and outer lives. It’s time to step back from the battle-not by retreating, but by re-framing.

I believe that treatment should focus on making peoples' lives better, on improving their relationships, on helping them understand who they are, and on making sure that progress and healing continues long after treatment ends. I have more than twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults, in outpatient and inpatient settings, and in homes throughout the state.

Sometimes, our ‘figure it out’ feels broken. And sometimes ‘happily ever after’ feels like it will never come. I will help you explore attachment injuries and how these affect your current relationships. Past traumatic experiences affect how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to those around us. We can feel empty, lonely, and afraid. Do we shut people out because we fear being hurt? Do we have intense fears of abandonment? Does guilt and shame preoccupy us? Are we mourning a loss? Do we feel that we can never live up to our own expectations?
