Therapists in Charlottesville, VA

I am a firm believer in evidence based treatments and have extensive training and practice in such. That being said, I recognize that "evidence" is usually based on outcomes of clinical trials with very controlled environments where very specific populations with very specific diagnoses are treated. Thus, I find that I am most effective when adapting, integrating and tailoring treatments to my clients' individual needs.

My aim is to nurture a trusting relationship that supports your healing journey and the development of meaningful life. I take pleasure in guiding individuals towards empowerment, aiding them in navigating present challenges, understanding the influence of their past on current emotions and behaviors, breaking free from limiting relational patterns, and developing skills that extend beyond our sessions. Our collaboration will involve exploring unconscious patterns, integrating somatic experiences, and building the capacity for heightened self-awareness and authentic expression.

I'm passionate about supporting clients as they develop and grow their connection with their core self. I've found that trauma and transitions can result in a disconnect with the core self and that peace and healing can be achieved by repairing this connection. Pre-adolescence, adolescence, and early adulthood are times marked by a myriad of major transitions. This process of transitioning between life stages continues across the lifespan. Additionally, a disconnect with the core self may be rooted in trauma or transition that happened many years ago. To this end, I provide services to preteens, teens, and adults.

Safe and trusting relationships are the context in which we most often experience healing — especially when we have been wounded by others. I believe that earning and maintaining your trust is foundational for the counseling process. I seek to provide a compassionate, genuine, calm, and steady presence, so that you can feel safe and supported as you engage in the important and healing work of therapy. I am most excited when my clients can see their own strengths and realize that they are capable of facing and releasing past wounds in order to grow and heal in ways that used to seem impossible.

We believe in intentional, flexible, and collaborative services designed to meet each client's unique needs. Empowerment is "the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights." Whether you're looking for symptom reduction, healing from past experiences, increasing understanding/insight, improving relationships, gaining support during difficult times, making difficult changes, or improving/maintaining your overall wellbeing, we look forward to supporting you in reclaiming and improving your life!

Working with couples and men is awesome. My clients always surprise me with their intelligence and strength, even if muted by their immediate troubles. Focusing on the connection the couple does have, we can work on the skills to being our own individual within the relationship. Working with men often involves negotiating the contradictions the world presents, attending to power differentials and how they impact our inner world, discovering where our habits developed and how we want to change and grow who we are in the world. I utilize a multitude of maps to offer my clients impactful and effective interventions.

Building a relationship in which you feel safe and connected is my initial focus with new clients. Through this relationship we’ll work together to find a pace that allows us to pay attention to what’s working well for you as well as to what’s getting in your way. Through this early joining we’ll create a solid ground from which we can work together to help you strengthen your awareness, explore your needs and consider what might be helpful as you move into living in a way that feels more easeful, genuine and sustainable.

Hello, I’m Briana Holmes currently a Supervisee in Social Work working towards being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience providing therapeutic services to a variety of individuals in various settings including inpatient and outpatient settings. I am passionate about working with young children and adolescents. This stage of life can be a difficult time due to the physical and psychological changes, therefore, I work to provide emotional support and guidance to address any issues my clients may face.

Many high-performers know they are capable of achieving more but feel stuck at times. Do you feel that despite having a lot of things together, something is missing that is holding you back? The clients I work with have typically achieved success in many aspects of life, but they struggle in others. When facing challenges that seem insurmountable, we all can benefit from expert guidance and counseling. As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of education and experience, I empower high-achieving professionals, athletes, and couples to reach their goals and create the changes in life they most desire.

I work with people who want something more from their lives and have not yet found a pathway to that something. It is powerful to work together to understand how our past relationships affect our current view of the world, and how this view can change and brighten and expand to increase our capacity for joy and fulfillment. Sharing pain and sorrow, understanding how emotions affect our thinking and welcoming our very humanness is healing. I work with families, couples and individuals to realize a more reflective life and to build and strengthen relationships.

I’m so glad you’ve taken this step to prioritize your mental health. You deserve a responsive, well-trained, and caring therapist. At Wellness Path Therapy, my primary goal is to work with my clients to effectively meet their needs. I use "treatments that work" while helping clients to pursue their values. I also believe in the power of human connection, hope, and resilience, and I think that we all deserve to lead lives full of dignity and meaning.

In my practice, I offer adult and couples therapy, specializing in trauma, anxiety, loss, and relationship distress. I collaborate with individuals and couples who experiences fear, sadness, anger, and disconnection who seek a pathway to healing, greater emotional connection, and sense of well being. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including attachment-based, mindfulness, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused approaches. I incorporate somatic & sensorimotor strategies, IFS, & EMDR to help heal trauma. My style is calm, non-judgmental, & interactive. I value the opportunity to partner with clients on their journey.

I enjoy helping people find balance and discover/rediscover their inner strength while navigating through the challenging times and transitions in life. Life is full of surprises; while some are amazing, others can be devastating. No matter what the transition in life or presenting problem is, it's important you know you're not alone when facing adversity or staring down a big life change, such as moving away for college or a job, having a baby, or getting divorced/breaking up. Asking for guidance during these transitions allows you to get the support you need to get you through the difficult times & get you back on track.

I love working with older adolescents & adults with different concerns, particularly eating disorders/body image, trauma (single event or complex), family-of-origin concerns, depression, anxiety, and cultural/identity concerns. I work well with people who feel stuck or are looking for a different approach. Highly sensitive people and people who feel like they are too much or not enough tend to be a good match, and through our work together we will understand where these narratives came from. Our work will help you understand the valuable messages your emotions are trying to send you and find better ways to get your needs met.

I work with people struggling to resolve feelings of anxiety or sadness, or those who find that relationship challenges seem to keep repeating themselves. Together we embark on a journey of discovery to identify and understand the patterns operating below awareness that inform expectations, and color perceptions. Whether working with adults, adolescents, couples or caregivers, I believe therapy should be an engaging and dynamic process where all thoughts and feelings are welcomed. Healing occurs when we allow ourselves the freedom to express the scope of our emotions, and my sessions are as likely to include laughter as tears.
