Trauma Focused Therapists in Richmond, VA

I am a psychotherapist who enjoy lighting the path for others. I believe you are the authority over your own life but sometimes you need someone objective to help you look from the outside in. Coupled with my clinical expertise, I am emotionally attuned to others. I often recognize others’ feelings and intuitively understand where these sentiments come from. As a result, I often know what to say to help find solutions that address the individuals’ concerns.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, incarceration, dissociation, trauma and abuse, PTSD, career challenges, and eating issues. I have a special interest in working with LGBTQIA+ clients with specialized training for supporting transgender clients as well as cult recovery/religious deconstruction. My therapy style is warm, interactive and person centered. I believe everyone has the ability to find healing and you are the expert on you! My role is to support you. It takes courage to reach out and ask for support. That courage will serve you well as you work towards feeling better.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and other mental health struggles can at times prevent us from living the life we deserve. I believe by working in collaboration with clients, we can create a plan of care catered to your specific needs. Allowing for growth, healing, and a higher quality of life. I specialize in working with those who may struggle with anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, trauma, life transitions, and substance use.

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.

Are you working through a life transition? Are there concerns with relationships in your life that you're hoping to work through? The best place to start is where you are. You may be seeking support in making changes to your life to support your overall health. My practice focuses on highlighting the strengths you have and how to identify areas of growth.

As a collaborative therapist, my focus is on meeting the client where they are and helping them identify goals in treatment that will allow them to achieve optimum functioning in their lives.

Recovering from trauma is the most inspiring and difficult things one can do in their lifetime. I am a believer that post traumatic growth is possible in all people. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a base of radical feminism utilizing approaches from DBT, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness and acceptance based approaches. I firmly believe that everyone has the tools within them to heal and grow and my primary job as therapist is to provide a safe non-judgmental setting for you to discover your healed self.

Life is no simple highway. It can be confusing, overwhelming, and even scary at times. In an effort to avoid pain, fear, and suffering, we sometimes develop coping techniques that are ultimately roadblocks to fully living life. Do you feel lost, like you’re just going through the motions without a sense of direction? Whether you’re going through a major life transition, grieving a loss, have experienced a traumatic event, or are simply tired of the day-to-day struggle, I’m here to tell you there is light up ahead and you don’t have to make this journey on your own. I am Ramona - a mother of two and former hospice social worker.

I believe in meeting you where you are and offers therapy and wellness services in the office, home, community and schools.

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!

Life can be exciting and beautiful, and can also be full of pain and challenges. It can feel overwhelming trying to navigate life on our own, and taking the step to seek additional support takes great courage and strength. Whether you are struggling due to painful past events, ongoing mental health concerns, or current life transitions; the good news is that change is possible.

I believe we all possess unique strengths that can help us overcome obstacles and reach newfound potentials. Often, our strengths end up buried or bruised by the complexities of life, and we could use some help. "Why do I keep feeling this way?" "What am I feeling?" "Who am I?" "Is this normal?" "Why does this keep happening?" These are some common questions that bring people to seek therapy. I see these questions as beacons of light. Together, in therapy, we can take this light and learn to better navigate through dark and twisted hallways of anxiety, trauma, shame, depression, etc... out into fresh air in which to THRIVE.
