Sentara Health Plans Therapists in Suffolk, VA
I am in-network for Sentara & Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Virginia.
You’re doing all you can, but it feels like you're unraveling. Maybe you’re stuck in anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, haunted by past experiences, navigating a life stressor, or parenting a child whose struggles leave you feeling helpless. It’s exhausting holding it all together when your mind and body are asking for relief. It can also be painful to watch your child overwhelmed by big emotions they don’t understand -resulting in meltdowns or clinginess. Therapy can be a place to breathe again, understand the weight you're carrying, and begin to feel like yourself, stronger and more in control.

“Be perfect.” “Don’t disappoint anyone.” “If I slow down, everything falls apart.”
Many high achieving women, carry this pressure every day. You juggle careers, families, relationships, and responsibilities while quietly feeling unseen and worn down. You are emotionally available to everyone and the holder of all of the things. Perfectionism shows up as self-doubt, overthinking, and the belief that you have to be it all for everyone. You feel tension in your body, constantly overwhelmed, and unappreciated. Even rest can bring guilt. You give endlessly, often placing yourself last. Therapy can be the place you finally get to exhale.

You’re sitting in a murky pond that is grimy, still, and lifeless. The water is thick with mud. There’s no wildlife around. It feels quiet… but not peaceful.
This pond represents life after difficult seasons: trauma, painful relationships, overwhelming stress, or a tough childhood.
The grime is hopelessness. The isolation is heavy. The murky water clouds your clarity and keeps you stuck.
