ADHD Therapists in Bon Air, VA

Hello, my name is Tamera Peterson, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional Supervisee (LMHP-S). I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families in community-based settings as a counselor and working with individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also have experience working with adults, teens, and adolescents who've experienced trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and dual diagnosis. I believe wholeheartedly in the mind, body, and soul connection.

At Renewing RVA, our mission is to provide high-quality, medical mental health services in conjunction with Biblical Prayer Ministry for the spiritual, mental, and physical flourishing of clients in need. We treat mild to moderate psychiatric conditions, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, psychogenic sleep issues, or ADHD. When needed, we refer to outside providers for complex issues such as bipolar disorder or psychotic disorders. We treat children, adolescents, and adults. Patients do not have to be Christian in order to be seen by us.

Hi, my name is Joanna. I am available to meet with you via TeleHealth. I have a friendly and welcoming laid-back approach. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate and supportive.

Are you feeling like you can't handle life's stressors? Is it hard for you to achieve goals and get your needs met? Are you affected by anxiety, depression, substance use, communication issues, intellectual or learning disabilities, mood swings, lack of social skills, or another mental health concern? Do you need an identity? Or a parent working to develop parenting skills?

In our lives we can struggle as individuals and within our family systems, regardless of whether we are children, teens, or adults. I believe therapy is a way to take time to focus and challenge beliefs around the different stressors in each individual’s life.  Stress is a part of everyday life, there is no way to avoid it. I believe that with empathy and therapeutic support individuals can face these stressors head on and work to improve their quality of life, inner strength, and happiness. Therapy should be a safe space to explore and challenge uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through compassion and empathy.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I will be seeing clients via video sessions as well as in-person sessions with COVID-19 precautions in place. These tele-therapy sessions are HIPPA compliant and totally secure. Dealing with anxiety and depression is difficult but you can have a happier life with better coping skills to handle life problems. I work with adults, children, parents, and I also specialize in couples work. If you/your partner are struggling, therapy may help you to learn how to resovle issues in a productive way. I am also a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Music takes the healing process deeper. It doesn't matter if you have never played music before. The music is my job - you just show up an open yourself up to the experience. Together we'll figure out your goals, such as learning how to deal with difficult emotions, overcome difficult struggles, enjoy healthier relationships, or live a more fulfilling life. Talking is important in music therapy, but music allows us to go deeper.

Whether you are feeling stagnant in your current circumstances or are experiencing fear, depression, anxiety, or traumatic experiences, remember hope was left in Pandora's box for us to hold tightly and to foster resiliency. I am a licensed professional counselor am I am here to walk with you through your journey of healing while you rediscover your hope while building resiliency. My practice is strengths based.

Have you ever heard someone tell you "Just get over it!"? When someone is struggling with a major life change, grief, or health challenge, this is not acceptable! Let's talk about your story, your journey, and your destination. My goal is for you to leave your appointment with a feeling of validation and direction. I love when my clients realize that they are capable and start reaching their goals. Partnering with me means that you will always have someone who is willing to walk alongside you in moments when you are feeling a little bit lost or alone.

I value working with children, adolescents and their families to encourage growth in their lives to become happy, healthy adults. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and have my certificate in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as training in Play Therapy. I believe the client is capable of building on their own strengths to help discern effective tools for progress.

You may be struggling to identify how you are feeling or experiencing invalidation in your emotions. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a relationship, with an upcoming decision, or with where you are in life. You might be feeling grief, anxiety, or deep sadness. I work with teens and adults to navigate all types of emotions and process how to move forward with them. Having a judgement free zone to fully process your emotions, your options in an upcoming decision, or to navigate difficult relationships can bring so much clarity!

Step by measured step, we work to build durability, and self-respect through skill building to overcome the pains that make life less enjoyable. We want to help you to move that mountain of pain one stone a time- by skillful means.

It's no secret that life is a journey full of many turns. I hope to help you and your family find meaning, health, and happiness at whatever stage of the journey you may be in. My clinical focus is on the three main areas that represent the greatest probability of difficulties during one's life cycle. As a trauma informed, systemically trained therapist I am willing to walk life's paths with you.
