Trauma Focused Therapists in Richmond, VA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. I consider therapy to be my life's work and find it an honor to be entrusted with being a vessel for others each day. I have vast experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I specialize in working with issues related to adoption, foster care, sexual abuse, complex trauma, PTSD, attachment, depression, anxiety as well as grief and loss. I am passionate and committed to my work with children, adolescents and their families.

I don't believe in practicing from a distance, I bring my real self into the room in an accessible and open way. I am wholeheartedly invested in the people I work with and believe that therapy works best when it's a collaborative process. Ultimately, you just want a therapist who gets you, and I get that. I know it is a daunting task to select someone to support your mental health needs and for me no one is "just a client." I would be honored to work with you. My clinical specialization is Trauma.

Look, we all can agree on one thing in this day and age: the struggle is real. In a world that is fast-paced and overworked, we often forget to process what is happening externally and how it is affecting us internally. And if we don't have the right tools to handle big stressors or major life events, it can be even more difficult to deal with what comes our way. Whatever your struggle is, I'm here to help.

Hi, my name is Dr. Dionne Dauphin Green. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 11 years of experience. I focus on the family, including adults and children, using cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused therapy to help my clients to obtain a clearer perspective on life. I have experience in working with adults and children with a history of inpatient mental health treatment, substance abuse, and crisis management. I have also worked alongside families and children in the juvenile justice system.

You pour your morning coffee and stare off. "This is fine," you tell yourself. But this is not fine. Life feels like a gigantic dumpster fire. You're not alone: I've been there, too. Your story is sacred and deserves to be heard, held, and believed. For the past 6 years, I have supported folks who have survived traumas like domestic violence, sexual assault, and traumatic grief in finding more confidence, balance, and comfort. I especially enjoy working with folks who are questioning their sexuality or their religious beliefs.

Adolescence and adulthood are challenging, and coping with trauma, depression, and anxiety can make life even tougher. You may struggle to balance the demands of work/school, relationships, and family, and you may be realizing that something needs to change. Taking the first step towards change can be daunting, but I am here to walk alongside you in your journey. My laid back, non-judgmental, compassionate, and humorous demeanor allows us to work collaboratively to resolve your challenges. I believe that you have the tools to heal within you, and I can give you the skills to harness your power.

Everything can feel overwhelming during difficult times. Perhaps you've noticed that you have a short fuse lately. Maybe the demands of caregiving, a recent stressful event or unresolved past difficulties taught you to think that you aren't deserving. Our response to stress can range from difficult to debilitating if we don't have the tools to manage it. I have over 18 years of experience in the therapy profession with the goal of helping you understand yourself more deeply, identify those self-defeating thoughts that may be holding you back and better cope with change.
