Therapists in Fredericksburg, VA

Hello! I have been a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist for 15 years. I specialize in working with issues like anger management, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and stress. I’ve worked with the general population, as well as specific groups such as veterans and those with severe mental illnesses. I use evidence-based techniques and incorporate Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and more. Whether you’re grappling with the consequences of the pandemic, ever-present psychosocial stressors, or unresolved issues of the past, therapy can help.

Stuck? Sad? Worried? Stressed? Do you find yourself dealing with situations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that you believe you have no control over or find to be completely overwhelming? Are you having trouble putting your past experiences behind you? Are you fearful of the future and of moving forward? Or maybe you want to try new things, but fear gets in the way of taking that first step? Perhaps you're stressed and trying to find balance? It’s okay; as women, we have all been there. We get it. But, you don’t have to deal with this alone. A skilled, trusted, & compassionate therapist can help you navigate these life issues.

My name is Dr. Lindsay Nolan and I am a clinical psychologist. Primarily, I work with individuals on managing anxiety and depression. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal techniques, as well as humor, in order to help individuals improve their faith in themselves and their own abilities.

Have your negative thoughts taken over? Have you been feeling sad or stressed while trying to keep it all together? Struggling with motivation? Are your relationships distant or full of conflict? Have you been feeling disconnected from those around you? Wanting to talk with someone but not knowing with whom, or how? Asking for help can be hard! Seeking therapy requires a great deal of strength and commitment and you have taken a great first step.

I have extensive clinical experience in providing psychological services to adults, couples and families as well as members of the Public Safety, Correctional and Armed Forces Communities. Together we journey on a path to identify and target thoughts, feelings and behaviors which are problematic to psychological growth. My goal is to improve the psychological wellbeing of the indiviudals, couples or families that I serve.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or behavioral deficits. I enjoy offering a safe place for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, and to provide support as people work towards their own therapeutic goals.

My life took on a whole other meaning growing up as a military dependent and after the death of my Mother. Through it all, I've learned that life is a matter of perspective. I love more passionately, I'm not religious, but my faith has come full circle. There's a quote that speaks volumes and has become the mission behind Lotus of Life Counseling: 'The lotus flower rises through the mud before blooming. It moves past challenges and keeps growing.' I'm here to help you rise and bloom through the murk of life, if you so choose.

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of PTSD, MST, traumatic brain injury, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders to divorce/separation, chronic illness, and chronic pain/depression. I have been in private practice over 35 years, helping active duty military, veterans, first responders, and the general public receive the help they deserve. I also have extensive experience treating trauma and adjustment challenges to changes in self-perception and self-esteem.

Life has a way of presenting experiences that can stress our emotions and mental well-being and throw us off balance. Taking those first steps towards therapy exhibit a strength within that should be commended. I can offer you a therapeutic experience that builds on trust, humor, and genuine care.

A trusting relationship between client and practitioner is the most important factor in creating growth. I use a down to earth approach so therapist and client can work collaboratively to "name the elephant" in the client's life, drill down to the core of issues and discover how patterns from the past repeat in the present. Relationships is at the top of my specialties, because they are designed to push us to grow wherever growth is needed. Honing one's communication and relational skills is often life-changing!

My goal is to provide a warm and accepting environment for individuals to explore feelings and life experiences that may allow for personal reflection and growth. We all may experience a feeling of being "stuck" at some point in our lives and may be unsure of how to move forward. I believe the path forward is discovered through personal reflection and self-exploration. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults utilizing a strength based approach. I work with individuals that may be experiencing mood disorder/depression, anxiety, adjustment to life changes, grief/loss, and a variety of other presenting issues.

Life transitions of any kind, while they can bring joy, can also bring a sense of anxiety, loss, fear, depression, and many unknown feelings. My goal is to help my patients understand these feelings, cope with them in a healthy manner and transition to their next stage in a healthy way - just like a butterfly.

Seeking therapeutic support can be challenging, scary, and overwhelming due to fears of being judged, uncertainty of the direction to take, and who to reach out to. My goal is to create an inviting environment where you can begin the process of addressing your goals and personal struggles. I believe we all face a time where we need extra support outside of our friends and families. Where we can focus on our own personal growth and empowerment by exploring thoughts, feelings, and life experiences to increase effective coping skills, problem solving skills, and new perspectives.
