Teletherapy for Staunton, VA

Do you spend too much time distressed about the past or future? Do you want to be more focused on the things that are important to you? I am glad you're here and seeking change & self-exploration! Therapy is a unique place to seek healing & growth, and it can only occur in a place where you feel safe, believed, & supported. I believe that the development of self-awareness, deepening meaningful and substantial connections with others, & improving emotional resilience creates a space for change, growth, and healing to take place. You aren't alone in this walk and you can be sure we're on the same team as you navigate therapy.

We all have suffering in our lives-- it's part of human experience. Too often, however, there is a layer of unnecessary psychological pain caused by unconscious defenses. We often resist painful feelings and the realities they point to. When this happens chronically we can get stuck in our resistance, becoming emotionally and physically sick. So our suffering increases. I work together with patients to build and/or embrace their capacity to honestly and compassionately face, untangle, and accept truths they can no longer resist.

Things seem to have gone a bit haywire these last few years. Most of us who had been getting along well enough may find ourselves or our children struggling more lately. We don't have to wait for the world to change in order to feel better or to help our children. Let's work together toward managing your mind, body, soul, and relationships harmoniously.

I recognize and respect the courage it takes to begin counseling. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate environment in order to work on identified issues and bring about hope, peace and well-being. Common concerns addressed in counseling include: play therapy, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, anger and attachment, and mood disorders. I work holistically, focusing on emotional, relational, spiritual, physical, and mental well-being. Counseling theories utilized include cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal process, and mindfulness.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals interested in developing a better understanding of themselves to help address difficulties in a deep, meaningful way. Psychodynamic psychotherapy goes beyond homework and other exercises to look at relationship patterns, personality styles, and current experiences that may be contributing to your symptoms. Engaging in psychotherapy requires patience, a curious mind, and an honest desire to make changes. In addition to psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also provide psychiatric medication management if needed, diagnostic second opinions, and consultations.

Many times we find ourselves disconnected and overwhelmed in a fast paced world. We forget what is most meaningful in our lives. We rush from one task to another and rarely pause long enough to ask if our actions support our deepest desires. You want to slow down. You want to feel more peaceful. You want to breathe. You want to know yourself on a deeper level. You want all of these things and yet you put your head down and keep pushing. Our work is getting clear on your deepest desires, slowing down and listening, and nurturing a healthy and sustainable connection to yourself and others.

My ideal client would be those searching for ways to overcome trauma that they have experienced in their life, as well as those struggling to experience a strong, healthy marriage that is based on supporting one another. I also would love to help support parents looking to strengthen their relationships with their children and implement healthy strategies that help build stronger families by working with the entire family towards a place of healing.

I enjoy working with those who have had Near Death Experiences, as have I, and those interested in the Spiritual dimensions of life. I believe Fear underlies the problems we encounter in life and is central to creating the Comfort Zones that become the habitual and repeating behaviors we develop for living. Creating Intentional and Desired life choices involves a creative and manifesting process that brings dreams into reality. This process reveals the inner power that resides within ALL Life. In my 30+ years as a counselor, I have experienced many paths and am ready to work with you to assist you on your journey.

I’m Kira, a clinician who is practicing everyday, and learning new things because I’m challenged by the work that we do together. This is a safe place for us to practice, challenge one another, plant seeds and grow anew. Everyone experiences life challenges and changes that can create stress, confusion, discomfort and pain. Because life isn’t perfect, some or many of them cause wounding. Therapy can help you work through these life challenges and changes to create an easier journey.

My mission is to accompany clients on their journey towards holistic well-being, by providing compassionate support to empower you to unlock your fullest potential. As a Black, female therapist, I got into this work to help people of all walks of life, especially women, children, and minorities. The world is hard enough and at times, it can be difficult to figure out our identity, wants, needs, boundaries, as well as how we operate in the various spaces of life. I also provide clinical supervision to those seeking their LCSW.

Life's journey is rough. Not every path is smooth or easy and many are difficult and even dangerous. There are times we need someone to walk with us; perhaps help us find a new direction. Having someone that understands because he's been there, makes all the difference in the world. In addition to working with couples and families, he enjoys bringing hope to men. He understands the struggles men face. He shares life and relational skills, including: developing problem solving skills, overcoming depression, reducing anxiety, having victory over addiction, growing through life development stages and recovering from the symptoms of trauma.

I have 25 years experience working as a counselor for children, adolescents, families, and adults. I work with people who are dealing with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief/loss, trauma, self-image, and any stresses related to race or sexual identity/orientation.
