Therapists in Fauquier County, VA

Working in the field of post-traumatic stress disorder with clients who have undergone a variety of events directly or indirectly has been both my specialty and my passion. I work with clients between the ages of 6 through seniors. I am the author of many articles and workbooks on trauma (The PTSD Workbook & Life After Trauma: A Workbook for Healing). I work a great deal with veterans of all wars and their families using a variety of techniques (cognitive behavioral therapy, belief challenging, narrative therapy and others.

Thank you for visiting my site. I have been working in the field of human service for over 13 years. During my childhood and adolescence and into my adult years, I have always wanted to help others. Individuals have always found it easy to share their most inner and private thoughts with me without fear of being judged. I never considered myself to be different when it comes to loss and struggles of everyday life, yet I learned to embrace challenges with my fullest potential.

I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate difficult circumstances while instilling hope to help reach their personal goals and lead more satisfying lives. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate environment to help individuals gain insight and improve coping skills in order to move forward with health and healing.

I enjoy working with a variety of people who are invested in helping themselves. I believe that we all go through difficult times and working with a therapist can help us to handle the situation in the best way possible. I have experience in helping persons who are dealing with depression, anxiety, OCD, loss of a spouse, and many other life changing events.

I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and taking time to create a deeper connection with yourself. I believe humans are beautifully flawed and complicated, and that by learning to appreciate our imperfections, we can gain a sense of peace and compassion for ourselves and others. New research in the field of neuroscience is providing evidence to support what many clinicians empirically knew: people are forever growing and changing. Interpersonal connection is the access-point to creating meaningful change in our lives from a place of kindness, compassion and free from judgement.

Hi! My name is Samantha Ceccio, I am a resident in counseling at the Center for Holistic Psychotherapy. I have worked with children, teens and young adults who have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bi-polar disorder, PTSD and clients who are experiencing grief. I have also worked with families throughout my experience.

Does it seem like you often second-guess your decisions? Perhaps you deal with anxiety, fear, or uncertainty about the future. It can be hard to move forward when you feel frozen in place. I often work with older teens, college students, and young adults who are facing big life choices. You might be uncertain about your career goals, dealing with decisions about marriage or your relationships, or just adjusting to being out on your own. Often experiences from the past, including trauma, make this even harder. I know these challenges can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help. Independence, does not mean you have to go it alone.

It can seem overwhelming to look for help and to trust someone when you’re most vulnerable. I would like to help you work through whatever mental health struggles you are experiencing, with compassion, using individual, couples or family therapy and providing support for you on your journey.

Many people struggle with emotions that prevent them from moving forward. At times this requires more help in discovering ways to move past the hurdles and obstacles that are preventing wholeness and balance. This often takes a great deal of courage-facing the anxieties and fears that prevent personal growth. Conquering these fears is not a path one needs to walk alone. Working together in an empathic supportive relationship, we can address the behaviors, thoughts, emotions and experiences that act as stumbling blocks to you achieving your goals and finding fulfillment in life. Working together we can restore peace in your life.

During sessions, you'll be provided a therapeutic space where you can retreat and rejuvenate. In this space, you can expect to be heard, without judgment. Through dialogue and intentional use of evidence-based interventions, you will discover the light that you are. Moving forward sometimes requires looking back, but that doesn't mean it has to be an unbearable process. Through the use of sensory engagement tools, you will learn to ground yourself in the midst of your most daunting memories and emotions.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking self-improvement, going through transitional periods, and struggling with relationships. I also enjoy assisting people through their own character development and love it when I see them realizing their goals.

Life can be challenging at times. Whether it’s from patterns of thinking or behaving we’ve carried with us since childhood, or relationship dynamics we’ve forged, or hurdles we’ve encountered in our day-to-day journey, or lingering trauma, sometimes we can feel stuck. We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward.

I feel called to help those who seek wellness in body, mind, and soul. I am honored to serve my clients at the Center for Holistic Psychotherapy as a licensed resident counselor. As a mental health professional, I have experience in treating diverse populations, including children, adolescents, couples, trauma and grief clients, addiction and DUI clients, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADD/ADHD, and various behavioral issues. I am a warm and accepting counselor who brings wisdom, comfort, security, compassion, and professionalism into the counseling room.

Now accepting new clients - Is your daughter struggling with anxiety, depression, school related stress or just not feeling happy?

We all face stressors & I believe we're not meant to brave these challenges alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Resident, I have accompanied clients along their journeys through COVID-19, PTSD, race & trauma, addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, anger management, adjustment disorders & ADHD. Together, we will address your goals.

I believe we heal through relationships. They can positively rewire our brains and facilitate growth. In our sessions, we will enter into a therapeutic relationship through conversation. Together we will create a safe space and explore the things that are troubling you. We will learn more about your thoughts, your feelings, and your beliefs. We will examine how those things influence your behaviors. The more you know, the more control you have in the way you move through life. The key to transformational change is awareness. Our focus will be on the present-what is happening now, and how you want to be.

Do you sometimes long to find the answer to the very reason that you're here on this earth at this time? Do you feel that there's something more to life, to have it all make sense to you on your ongoing journey? Do you wonder about whether the "afterlife" is real, and how you can enable yourself to both express the best that is in you now (your Divine Nature) and prepare for what's next?

Being a long side through weekly therapy sessions it is a great honor to help guide you to your path to be the best version of your self.
