Couples Counseling Therapists in Richmond, VA

Currently accepting new clients. I believe that people are resilient and that we all have the capacity to change our lives for the better if we are given opportunities to succeed. Many of us will suffer moments of defeat, moments of heartache, cultural moments of significance, and situations of joy that beg to be shared. As a therapist, I facilitate the success of others by creating a space for hope, empowerment, passion, and sorrows. I desire to help others to become their best selves.

Alexandra “Alex” Cromer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 4 years of experience partnering with adults, families, adolescents, and couples seeking help with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders. Alex completed her Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology at Virginia Tech and her Master of Education (MEd) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the College of William & Mary.

We all need someone who can provide an unbiased perspective, challenge our thinking, and help us navigate unchartered waters. Whether you're seeking change or a better understanding of yourself, your family, or your relationships, I would love to help. Let’s get together and talk about it. There's hope and strength in seeking counsel during these times.

We are all seeking in this life- seeking to understand ourselves with more depth, connect with others with more ease, and find space from pain with more health. I aim to partner with my clients in the seeking, and offer safety and support in the process. Most of my clients are children, adolescents, and adults struggling with disordered eating, self esteem, and anxiety. I also have a background in working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Additionally, I offer an understanding and safe space for those who are exploring their spirituality, or going through a deconstruction or faith transition process.

As a psychotherapist I work with adults (including young adults 18+) who are experiencing difficulties with relationships, anxiety, depression, work/school challenges, parenting issues, family conflicts, grief and loss, life transitions, or other problems that may get in the way of a more balanced, satisfying life. With each client, I seek to create an empathic, judgment-free space where you can explore your feelings, gain insight, and improve coping skills that can help to enhance your life and relationships. My approach is interpersonal and relational--working within a psychodynamic framework toward goals we will set together.

Hi, my name is Sharon. I’m a military spouse of 26 years and counting, with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. Traveling the country and meeting people from all walks of life helped solidify my passion and desire to help others achieve their personal self-care goals and become the best versions of themselves. Caring for others is my small way of helping to make a difference in the lives of others during these challenges times. I believe in treating the whole person, the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects.

As a Mother of 10 who has endured obstacles after obstacles my job is to serve. I was stumped and not sure of how and who would assist me with reaching my goals. A Life Coach/therapist will support guide and hold you accountable if you lose patience and feel like giving up. Its opportunity for everyone let me help you find yours. I also offer couples coaching and counseling. I am now a member of the "International Society of Professional Women". Everyone has a story but how you write it is your choice. Let your ending be one of courage and commitment towards change.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!! The world is a complex place, especially in these ever-changing times. Dealing with adversity can be challenging and stressful. I will work with you to develop a trusting relationship , with the focus to work together to better understand and resolve the conflicts that hinder you from living a fulfilling life.

You may be struggling with relationship issues, partner betrayal , sex addiction, porn addiction, infidelity, narcissistic abuse, isolation, disconnection, self esteem, anxiety & other feelings. You may not even know what brings you here, just a feeling of being stuck or that life is missing meaning or purpose. I provide a safe space to explore your thoughts that perhaps may be difficult to talk about with family & friends. My approach is non-judgmental, supportive & compassionate. I offer confidential, easy-to-connect, face-to-face, video conferencing for your convenience. I offer a free meet & greet for your comfort.

Emotions are an important part of life, and help us to connect with others. Sometimes our experiences with intense emotions can take away from our ability to clearly communicate with each other or appreciate ourselves. Do you find it difficult to enjoy life in the moment? too focused on the past or worried about the future? Do you wish you could connect with your family or partner in a way that doesn't lead to conflict or slammed doors? Whether you are experiencing relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety, anger, feelings of low self esteem or sex related concerns, your feelings do not have to control your life.

We have all had seasons of struggle in life. Whether you are grieving, lonely, confused, or just plain ol’ stuck, we all deserve a warm, accepting place where we can talk with someone who we know will not judge or shame us, but who instead will acknowledge and accept us, and who can help us to create change and reignite our sense of hope and strength. I’d love to be that person for you.

I offer both individual and couples counseling to adults of all ages, also teaching mindfulness meditation when desired. In addition to ameliorating symptoms, decreasing emotional pain, and helping to solve difficult problems, therapy and meditation can facilitate significant personal growth and increased wellness. My approach is broadly humanistic, meaning we seek together in a safe and secure environment, mutual understanding of you as a whole person, honing your internal "voice" and tapping into your existing strengths. Once we identify who you really are and what is most important to you, the path to bringing your life into alignment becomes clearer.

I practice with a client-centered approach while cohesively using different counseling methods, such as CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. In a time when overall wellness is the lowest for many individuals, I encourage my clients to connect with themselves through mindfulness and self-care. I am interested in working with adults on life transitions, anxiety, trauma, depression, stress management, low self-esteem, and family issues.

Life can be a challenge. Even with the most sincere attempt and best effort, everyone experience setbacks, loss, trauma, and at times, a reduced sense of hope. In the darkest moments, we need someone to offer genuine support, help us discover sustainable solutions, and guide us through challenges to the ultimate pivot. While I welcome and have experience with diverse populations, I am especially passionate about increasing access and reducing the stigma of behavioral health among men. You can expect professional high quality care, humor, and a compassionate yet challenging partnership to help you discover quality health & wellness.

I like to work with clients who genuinely want to improve their lives and are willing to devote time and effort in order to achieve permanent change.
