Behavioral Issues Therapists in New Kent, VA

I am a born and raised Southern girl and now a recent transplant to Virginia. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in both Virginia and Georgia and have 22+ years’ experience working with children, parents, and adult women in various stages of life. My specialities include anxiety, depression, ADD, stress and parenting difficulties. I especially enjoy assisting women with meeting their treatment goals! Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also offer EMDR intensives when appropriate.

I have over 25-years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children within agencies and the community environment. I find it a pleasure to serve families or individuals who are challenged with life stress, grief issues, abandonment, adjustment disorders, depression, and mental health needs etc. Therefore, I strive for quality service to ensure positive results. However, it is important for me to reflect, listen, and communicate to make sure that I have a clear understanding of my client’s needs.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I create a welcoming and secure space for individuals to address a range of concerns.

Discovering your passions, managing change and navigating daily stressors can be difficult. It is particularly difficult, if you are experiencing stress at home or work, struggling with unhealthy behaviors or dealing with unexpected life events. I work collaboratively with clients to determine their treatment goals and explore barriers that prevent them from reaching them. My aim is to help you process change while offering strategies that increase coping skills and challenge behaviors that disrupt your progress.

First and foremost, my primary goal includes establishing a strong therapeutic rapport and understanding your unique goals, as well as how your personal history impacts your current level of functioning. Ultimately, I hope that you will "graduate" from therapy after learning and practicing new coping strategies. My clinical focus is strengths based and eclectic, and I tend to assign homework (which may include reading, writing, or other behavioral tasks). If this approach appeals to you, please feel free to contact me. I see clients in person (Midlothian office, 23113) and I am also willing to see clients virtually.

I am a US Navy Veteran, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Life Coach. After establishing a trusting and genuine relationship with clients, I then strive on helping individuals become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I am a life coach that aims at helping those looking for guidance in achieving their personal and professional goals. I provide support and guidance to help you focus on what's important to you and then how to take the necessary steps. Being overwhelmed, stressed or dealing with anxiety can limit your personal and professional growth. I seek to provide an environment where you can find growth and change.

My ideal client is someone who is open to the therapy experience and is ready to challenge themselves to actively work toward feeling better. Someone who recognizes that while changes in behavior, mood, thinking, relationships, employment, parenting, lifestyle etc. may test our ability to cope, as they can be difficult and painful, how we respond to these changes/challenges ultimately determines the outcome. Someone who is willing to engage in a symbiotic, collaborative therapeutic relationship to work on their self determined goals, whatever they may be.

Are you seeking positive change in your life? I am a counselor working under supervision who is passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate challenges and obstacles that arise in their lives. Through a journey of self-acceptance and self-awareness we will collaborate together to take action-oriented steps towards your personal goals in a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment.

I have worked with military members and their families for over twenty years. I have extensive experience with deployment, reunification, domestic violence, child abuse, childhood trauma, military trauma, addictions, depression and anxiety. I also work with couples who believe that participating in counseling is their last resort; issues with parenting children with challenging behaviors and adolescents that are having difficulties with socially interacting.

Are you in search of support? Are you struggling with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, personal growth, life transitions, relationship conflict, multicultural issues, religion, spirituality, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or bipolar/mood disorders?

My name is Charita Selden, and my primary focus when providing counseling services is to help a client become the best version of themselves, through person-centered services. I have found that there are many times when my clients are seeking services for the first time in their lives and there's often a bit of reticence. I am quite familiar with this feeling, as I too have sought counseling in the past. This is why I work first to establish a rapport with all of my clients, find out what it is they want to accomplish and collaborate with them to develop an achievable treatment plan.
