I help highly sensitive people (HSP) and spiritual seekers move from survival mode to thrival mode. My areas of focus include: anxiety, ADHD, OCD, addiction, and trauma. I help you see your innate wisdom so that you can create goals, remember dreams, and find a deep, abiding sense of contentment within yourself. Many clients I work with were told they were "too sensitive" or "overdramatic" as a child. I can guide you in reconnecting with younger parts of yourself and shift unhelpful core beliefs. I am licensed in Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

I am offering telehealth services only. The purpose of therapy, as opposed to just talking with a friend or family member, is to facilitate personal and professional growth. This growth is typically most needed in the areas of relationships, mood, performance and an overall improved integration of one's identity and values. In order to make growth possible, one must feel safe in an objective, confidential environment. My primary goal is to offer a safe and supportive place for change. Throughout the entire process, I will encourage, guide, challenge and support you in making the changes you deem to be right for you.

Seeking help takes courage and strength. Sometimes we are simply surviving in our lives but desire to thrive. We may struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, challenging relationships, loss of relationships, loss of self esteem or confidence, etc. I believe there are turning points in our lives when we are ready to work and we need someone who can help us. I have over 22 years working with clients and have been inspired by their strength, persistence, courage, vulnerability, desire to change and hope. Sometimes, when all feels dark and hopeless, we need the help of others. I am happy to help you in your journey.

Whether you’re facing issues related to identity, anxiety, depression, or discrimination, I am committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be heard and understood. I feel led to be a listening ear and a voice for the unheard, ensuring that every individual has the support and validation they deserve.

Several changes happen throughout our young adult lives; the good news is you have the ability to grow through these seasons and heal from the past ones.

Hi, I am Ceyonna and I am a licensed therapist in Virginia and Maryland. I received my master's degree in professional counseling from Liberty University in 2019. My specialties and areas of interest include perinatal mental health, substance use, crisis support, anxiety, depression, peer and family conflict, and behavioral concerns. Additionally, I have experience working with children and young adults in individual and group settings, as well as family counseling. In life, we face challenges that seem too difficult to handle and begin to experience unpleasant emotion; however, there is hope.

Life is full of challenging events, decisions, and transitions. Going to therapy does not make a person “less than,” or indicate you are incapable of dealing with challenges/issues on your own. Beginning therapy is a sign of courage and awareness that you believe positive change in your life can be achieved. I work with adult individuals helping them cope with and work through a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, drug/alcohol use, stress reduction, anger, life transitions, coping with uncertainty, increasing self-esteem, as well as developing and maintaining healthy relationships.

My ideal client is an individual who realizes they are navigating a season of change and everything feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety shows up as constant overthinking or tight chest that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. You may be juggling a career, relationships, and caring for others while quietly wondering, “What about me?” Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving an old one, or simply feeling lost in the in-between, you don’t have to do it alone.

Successful psychotherapy can result in greater adaptability, resilience, creativity, and joy. Most of my clients present with challenges in their relationships, careers, health, and overall sense of self. I offer a customized treatment approach, derived from a broad range of training and experience, to increase the likelihood of successful outcomes. Specifically, I can help you use the past to inform the present, to glean insight needed to address existing obstacles and to create functional change in daily life. While psychotherapy is a serious endeavor, I tend to incorporate humor when it is helpful and appropriate.

I began my career in community mental health and military settings, where I worked with people of all ages—ranging from childhood to young adulthood—helping them navigate strong emotions tied to trauma and life stressors such as military combat, immigration, frequent moves, new parenthood, and humanitarian crises. I’ve also worked extensively with individuals facing bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, helping them uncover new strengths, relationships, academic paths, and career opportunities that they hadn’t previously imagined.
