My name is Kashorie R. Fields and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor. I attended Liberty University where I received my Masters of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a professional counselor committed to inspiring healthy lifestyles and promoting healthy behaviors to optimize mental health, I am prepared to immediately contribute to achieving a healthier mental health community.

The passion and delight of the past 30-plus years of my life has been having the honor of sitting with individuals as they share their stories, sort out difficulties, face the hard work of healing and change, move toward healthier relationships, and a more meaningful inner life. Sometimes the stories are of experiences in the past that cause mild to severe life disturbance. Sometimes difficulties manifest in depression or anxiety. Relationships (family, work, etc.) can be impacted by internal unrest. Addressing these concerns can restore peace and health to you and your relationships.

Throughout our lifetime, we experience difficulties and struggles that can feel overwhelming. My clients experience low mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and at times trauma; sometimes they have found ways to manage their distress through self-harming or disordered eating behaviors. These struggles also impact family life, relationships and education or work. I work in a compassionate and motivated manner to understand each individual's unique experience and to develop a therapeutic approach that enhances skills and coping. I draw from a range of approaches to create a therapeutic plan that is unique to each person.

It's an honor to partner with adults, teens and children! I provide cognitive behavioral therapy infused with person-centered & strength-based approaches. I believe that we are all born with a series of specific purposes. Unfortunately, the grilling of life's negativity occasionally chars us by bringing us out of alignment with our true purposes. Consider getting back into alignment with your original purposes by linking arms with a supportive, and informed licensed professional! That's me in a nutshell (smiles).

I offer psychotherapy at my office in the Oyster Point area of Newport News. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to make your life more like you want it to be. Professional counseling services afford the chance to sort out feelings and thoughts about present or past relationships, situations, experiences, or coping styles that diminish your present quality of life. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced difficult life experiences, addictions, relationship problems, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and stage of life problems.

Life happens, and at times, its challenges cause us to experience intense emotions or feelings of defeat. These challenges can create complications, especially if it is traumatic. Whether that trauma is due to an unexpected event, like the death of a loved one, sexual assault, recent incarceration, or something else entirely, you should not have to navigate life's challenges alone. I want to partner with you through your challenges and assist in developing strategies that will support in smoothing out life's transitions. I'm a passionate and encouraging therapist with a strong belief that there's HOPE through all life's challenges.

Sorry, I am not accepting new clients for now. Therapy at its best has the potential to enable us to HEAL and RECOVER, ENJOY more positive relationships, FIND BELONGING in the world and LOVE OUR LIVES! It is important to address symptoms and problems, but also to begin to move beyond them. The patterns of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that we have developed keep us stuck. With insights from the losses and hurts of the past and new skills we come to the threshold of POSITIVE CHANGE.

Change is critical to our understanding of who and what we are as a human being. As a professional helper, I am best suited to work with clients who want to develop better managing and regulation of their depression, anger, anxiety, self-esteem and psychotic disorders. I truly enjoy providing mental health services and believe that everyone has potential for great things and when given the chance to explore/realize their potential can live life to the fullest. My goal is to work alongside you as you discover your strengths to heal from the inside out.

Do you find yourself in a rut, having difficulties adjusting to a new circumstance, or feel your situation is hopeless? Do you frequently worry about where your life is headed? Do you find yourself afraid to face situations that others do not? Are you afraid to discuss these things for fear of being judged or misunderstood? If so, consider speaking with me to discuss your concerns in a confidential, safe setting. We can work together to lessen or eliminate the impact of whatever problems, worries or concerns you may have.

I believe that every individual can get through difficulties that arise in life and sometimes we need some help. I am passionate about providing a safe space for you to talk about your story.
