Female Therapists in Fredericksburg, VA

I want to welcome and thank you for reviewing my ad. I am a pre-licensed Therapist who works with those that suffer from anxiety, behavioral issues, sexual abuse, stress, and relationahip dysfunction utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral Approprach. My goal is to join with my clients to discuss current stressors, work toward processsing their emotions, and assist in determining solutions together. Whether you choose to focus on your current issues or issues from your past, together, we can work through those issues and develop appropriate coping skills which will lead to manageable behaviors.

As women we play so many roles and often have little time to care for our personal needs. This can become a way of being which often leads to feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, drained, and stressed. When we create a healthy balance that includes our needs as priority, we experience more energy, more love, more joy, and a clearer sense of purpose. As your therapist, I will explore your concerns, assist you in identifying your personal strengths, and help you to develop effective coping strategies that will enhance your daily life.

There are times when any one of us can feel like we need a little more support than friends and family can provide. Knowing when to seek professional help on your journey of personal growth is a brave step in the right direction. I am an experienced empathetic therapist who can help you tap into strengths you may have forgotten you have and teach you how to use them to resolve challenges you face. Together we can confront unhelpful thinking styles and put you back in charge of your life.

From the outside, you may look like you have your stuff together. But behind the mask you wear for others, you feel lost and filled with self-doubt. You don’t know what's next for your life. You're starting to worry all the time and feel overwhelmed. You don’t understand why you keep making the same bad decisions, ending up in the same crappy situations. You question if you are enough and what you're doing wrong. Feeling crappy, self-doubt & imposter syndrome, chronic people-pleasing, worried all the time, dealing with a breakup? I help women to make sense of the overwhelming & figure out the direction of their life.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed and trying to handle things on your own? Are you thinking things are not improving? It can be scary to seek out support from someone you don’t know. Seeking therapy is a great step to receive support and guidance to improve your wellbeing. People who seek counseling are taking the steps needed to heal and improve their wellness.

My target market are Men and Women , ages 14-99, Military and Civilian. I enjoy working with African-American and Latino American women . As an LCSW with over 20 years experience, I have a plethora of experience counseling clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, self-esteem, relational conflict, etc. I use words life "Different" not "Disorder" when speaking to my clients. Different is not disorder. Emotional pain is not disorder. These are aspects of being human. I describe human experience in all its variety by trying to help those who are suffering and helping them work through their pain without stigma.

What all of my clients have in common is a desire to be self-reflective (even though this may be scary), to learn more about themselves at a deeper (unconscious) level, and to grow in ways that allow them to have the life and relationships for which their hearts yearn. Psychotherapy is a process of learning to listen to, care for and heal the pained parts of ourselves that burden our mind, body, heart and spirit. Including the body in this process is essential, as it carries our pain until we learn how to engage the brain and body to release our burdens. This is not always easy, but is certainly self-empowering and life-changing.

Are you secretly dealing with the pain of sexual trauma? Is it causing problems in your relationship or keeping you from relationship? Do you use work, accomplishments, ministry or even relationships to avoid or mask the pain? Has the discovery of infidelity left you riding an emotional roller coaster you can't stop? You're confused, angry, scared, and in pain, uncertain of how or if the pain will end. You want off of the roller coaster. You need answers not only regarding how this could happen, but about what's next. You are not alone. There is help and healing is possible. You can regain control of your emotions and your life.

New Clinicians Added to Practice- - You may have recently transitioned out of a major change, such as the military, retired out of a life-long career, or perhaps realizing that there are certain past issues and traumas that need to be processed in order to move forward. You realize that moving forward is often times the most important function of self-care, however you need help. I am humbled that you took the time to read my profile, so let's see how I can help.

Life is a journey that we all go through, and it presents us with many obstacles to navigate. Sometimes these obstacles can present us with challenges that can lead us to feel depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, withdrawn, or even isolated. When we learn to create balance in our life, we begin to feel a sense of joy and happiness for the person we are meant to be. I would like to partner with you as you explore life’s challenges and concerns and help you in identifying feelings and thought patterns and assist you in developing effective coping and self-care strategies that will strengthen your everyday life.

Do you or someone you love have a substance use problem? Have you been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and don't know where to turn? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and having a hard time getting through the day? Are you gay/ lesbian/ bisexual/ gender fluid/ transgender /* and having difficulties coming to terms with this identity? I have over 20 years of experience helping folks with these issues. My basic approach uses humor combined with evidence based approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral, GLBT Affirmative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Enhancement, etc.

I am a professional counselor licensed in Virginia with over 7 years of experience working in various settings including schools, in home, and Outpatient.

I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. I consider myself a very spiritual person and like to incorporate spiritual practices into my work!

Are you feeling overwhelmed during this time of uncertainty? Are you finding it difficult to complete your normal daily tasks due to irritability, anxiety, and depression? Do you feel overwhelmed to a point where you cannot control your fear of negative thoughts about the future? I am passionate about empowering you to find the best within yourself to overcome life’s stressors and traumas. I would like to partner with you, identify your feelings and thought patterns, and assist you in fostering healing and creating effective change in your life.

Welcome! Are you ready for a life change? We can help you see/feel the results of your therapy. Many of our clients come to us when they have lost hope in their healing journey. Others were tired of talking in sessions and not getting results. Many adults, children, and teens have experienced trauma (childhood trauma, emotional abuse, etc.), and talk therapy hasn't helped. This can be disheartening because it can be avoided. We offer a unique, and evidence-based therapy approach, that allows the brain to heal. You will see a positive change in your mood, thoughts, and behaviors. We look forward to seeing how healing looks on you!

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.

Perhaps you, like many people, struggle with unhealthy relationships and low personal growth. If you are not working on becoming the person that you desire to be, you feel stuck and need someone to help get you back on track. Many people struggle with relationship issues, unhealthy behaviors, or mental health concerns, such depression, fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, co-dependency, divorce, and grief. If you do, then it is time for you to seek the help of a professional. I am here to help you.
