Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

As a fellow truth seeker and meaning maker, I know firsthand how challenges in life can seem inescapable at times. I also personally understand the layered impact that a history of trauma has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women to learn to connect, cultivate, and honor their deepest sense of self, from the inside out, and what I like to think of as on a soul level. I want to support you to learn how to own all parts of yourself - mindfully, without judgment, and to honor your soul.

My name is Lisa McIntosh, LPC License 0701008421. I have more than 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My holistic approach focuses on the individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. I also focus on rapport building, goal setting, and implementing evidence-based treatment to help individuals and families identify and change their troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

My name is Keshawna Tiggle and I'm a Licensed Professional Counseling (LPC) in Virginia. My approach to therapy is very much person-centered.

Mental health is my priority and supporting families is a passion. I am Tracey Johnson-King, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) Resident and Life Coach certified. I started my mental health career in 2012 as a community QMHP. I am a mother of 10 and grandmother of 8. Currently, I am Crisis Clinician who assist those with an immediate need of mental health stabilization. I am a crisis assessor and currently started my own company Fresh Nu Beginnings LLC.

You are going through a lot. The pain, loss, and confusion in this life can feel insurmountable. You have experienced hardship and still strive to find the solution. Sometimes the journey only proves to cause more suffering. Yet, you're trying every day to feel better, be better. With byproducts like negative thinking patterns and unhealthy habits, I know it can feel like there is no end in sight. I am here to throw you a lifeline, because it doesn’t always have to be this way!

My ideal client is one who wants to building a collaborative relationship that will help to foster change. I believe that most of the work of therapy happens in between sessions, so my clients will benefit if they are willing to practice the things that we agree will be helpful. I am less focused on diagnoses than beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that are amenable to change. I am hoping that my clients have decided that they are willing to be vulnerable at this point in their lives and that they are open to having me participate in their journey toward a more effective life strategy.

My passion is for helping others feel and live their very best. Therapy is a powerful tool to help you begin doing just that; whether you are trying to navigate feelings of depression, grief / loss, or the tumultuous feelings that come with anxiety caused by work or relationship stressors, therapy can help you shift your perspective while developing the skills needed to not only move through challenges, but to begin thriving. I primarily work with adults and adolescents of all backgrounds.

Are you feeling lost or stuck in your personal or professional life? Do you feel like you're not living up to your full potential? Dawn believes that true healing comes from a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. Her ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change in their life, but isn't sure where to start.

Helping clients become the best version of themselves through building a comfortable and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance. Welcoming diverse clients from every walk of life.

You are not alone in your journey to feel better, mentally and physically. Are you experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress or feelings of fear that are holding you back? Symptoms of PTSD? Feeling depressed, overwhelmed or unmotivated? Do you have unresolved trauma? Have you experienced abuse? Difficult or unfulfilling relationships? I specialize in helping clients identify problem areas in their lives and formulate goals to improve them. We will work to eliminate any self limiting and sabotaging beliefs patterns and you will acquire coping skills, strategies and resources to succeed. Healing and thriving is possible!

As a therapist, I work primarily from a relational dynamic perspective and I use human diversity and social justice lenses to further inform my work. This means that I place particular emphasis on emotions and relationships, and that I strive to be emotionally present and available for authentic connection. It is my belief and experience that the work and healing of therapy occur within this connection. Therapy is thus a collaborative process of building an affirming relationship that leads to meaningful change.

There are many reasons why a person may seek therapy. Sometimes we are struggling in a crisis, and sometimes we are ready to go deeper into our understanding of ourselves. With this understanding, we can create a life richened by the healthiest, most insightful version of ourselves. The shifting of habits, fears and core beliefs is a brave act that deserves therapeutic support. In treatment my clients are able to build on their inherent strengths to heal, to grow and to ground.

Have you ever felt stuck? Have you ever felt confused or experienced general dissatisfaction with your life? Or found yourself wishing things would change, but not knowing how or where to begin? If so, I am here to support you as you take your first step in your healing journey. I work with a variety of diagnoses to include anxiety, depression, and trauma, along with other issues such as identity, cultural, social injustice, life transitions, and parenting.

Are you feeling dragged down by life's challenges? The Zen proverb 'Let go, or be dragged' reminds us that in order to be free of suffering, we must let go. I am inspired by secular Buddhism and believe that suffering is an innate human experience, not created from life's problems, but from our clinging to "the way things should be" and resisting impermanence and change. I help individuals develop acceptance through mindfulness and other Eastern teachings to provide them with freedom to flow with life and equanimity to remain calm even amongst the most chaotic storms.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you having difficulty dealing with grief? Is this affecting your relationships and overall happiness? Anxiety and depression can display in many ways but are some of the most common issues faced by people today. Therapy can help break the cycle of stress and aid in developing the necessary tools for a happy life. Call now to schedule an appointment with Nadia!
