Preteen Therapists in Kilmarnock, VA

I work with teens and adults (13+). I work with individuals of all races, ethnicities, spiritual identities, and am LGBTQ+ affirming. I intentionally keep my private practice small because I want to be able to provide the best care for my clients. This means I am often unable to take clients that do not fit within my scope of expertise. I will not be a good fit for you if: 1)You have actively engaged in self-harm or suicide attempts in the past year. 2) You are struggling with substance abuse or addiction. 3) You are engaged in ongoing court or legal system involvement.
