Family Therapists in Richmond, VA

Sarah Mayfield
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, CT
Richmond, VA 23238
Many grievers seek counseling due to traumatic bereavement, a lack of understanding from family and friends, or to find guidance in an unfamiliar terrain.
My role as your counselor is not to try to "fix" your grief. Instead, my role is to walk with you on your journey. As a grief counselor and bereaved mother, I bring both professional training and personal experience to the field of bereavement, grief, and trauma. At the end of each session, I hope you sense this is more than a career-it's a passion.

I’m glad you’re here right now, reading through different bios. The interest you’re taking in yourself is huge. I recognize starting with a counselor may feel daunting, but I am here to make that process as open and as safe as possible. Many come to therapy feeling burned out, anxious, or unsure why things feel so difficult despite their best efforts. If you’re feeling alone, stuck, or overwhelmed by the same patterns showing up in your life, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin creating meaningful, sustainable change.

Life seems to be going pretty well. Maybe you recently were accepted to college or started a new job or relationship, and yet something still feels "off." Perhaps you do have some trauma in your background but wonder if it's bad enough to warrant therapy. You are in the right place! I enjoy working with college students as they manage the many transitions and stresses of university. I also have experience working with people of all age groups, on issues relating to stress and anger management, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress as well as LGBTQIA+ identified clients.

You have a vision for your life, and despite your best efforts it hasn't yet materialized. You may want more fulfilling relationships, to feel worthy, to feel calmer in your mind and emotions, to focus more on the positive aspects of your life or to make decisions more easily. You may find that long ago or recent experiences continue to bother you even though you think they shouldn't. Maybe you didn't receive the care you needed growing up, were sexually assaulted, experienced medical trauma, or have experienced a loss. You want to heal, grow, and thrive. You may be worried it won't help and you are ready to try therapy.

Sometimes, life can be difficult to navigate, and you just need someone with whom to process all that is going on inside of you. You may be struggling with your faith journey or with relating to your children, your partner, or your parents. You might be asking scary questions about your own identity, including gender or sexuality, and how to integrate that with your faith. You might be trying to acclimate to the U.S. after growing up overseas. You might be failing to maintain focus on what matters in life and need some emotional support to live the life you always hoped you would live.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.

As a depth-oriented therapist, I offer an integrative approach that combines Sensorimotor/Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Interpersonal Therapy.
I believe that healing is a holistic process, addressing not just the mind, but also the body and the relationships that shape us. In our work together, I draw on depth-oriented techniques to explore the emotional and psychological underpinnings of your experiences, integrating body-based healing through sensorimotor and somatic methods. I use IFS to help you connect with different parts of yourself, fostering self-awareness and self-compassion. Additionally, my approach to Interpersonal Therapy focuses on understanding how relationships—past and present—shape your emotional world and sense of self.
