Navigating through daily stressors can take a toll on you, and make it hard to concentrate at work and(or) school, communicate with your family and friends, and do the things you usually love. These stressors can include relationship concerns, peer conflicts, parental conflicts/difficulties, continuing to make“bad” decisions; unresolved childhood concerns, un-fulfillment at work, or difficulties dealing with past trauma.

My name is Marianne Redmond Lopez. I am a regular, down-to-earth gal with a pretty good sense of humor. I am a solution-focused psychotherapist (LCSW) licensed in VA (working on other state licenses), whose goal is to help people uncover their true potential and move forward with confidence toward all of their goals. I specialize in working with individuals, couples and groups focusing on the treatment of narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, PTSD (trauma), grief/loss, borderline personality struggles, marriage or interpersonal relationship problems, addictions (any/all) struggles, daily life pressure/problems, and more.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University in 2016. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in the mental health field since 2013 servicing individuals and families in numerous settings including residential placements, community based settings, schools and private practice.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you've had therapy in the past, this process may bring up a variety of feelings, including hope, worry, uncertainty, and curiosity. My intention is to provide a safe, empowering space, in which we partner to create an experience that serves you well. Clients that I commonly work with have needs related to trauma, relationships, parent/child dynamics, school/ vocation, chronic mental health, and transition/ phase of life concerns. I work with individuals (child, teen, and adult) and families who are living with a variety of mental health diagnoses.

"Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible." (Carl Jung) Effective therapy is a dedicated collaborative partnership between an individual and therapist. Helpful therapists empower individuals to access their own inner emotional and spiritual wisdom, courage, strength and innate capacity for healing. It is the therapist's responsibility to offer insight and guidance so that one can grow to stand in their truth and set a clear course for change. Often this process must go deep to resolve hidden pain that has resurfaced in the form of symptoms.

When people face trauma or loss of connection with their loved ones, they can feel as if their lives are coming undone. Life after trauma can be overwhelming as we begin to feel fragmented, powerless, and without hope. As a U.S. Marine veteran, I also understand the unique struggles and strengths that military life brings. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families build on their strengths to reconnect with others and bring resilience and comfort back into their lives. I believe that emphasizing our strengths is key to our healing, as we see ourselves more whole and more at peace with each new discovery.

At some point in our lives, we all face challenges we can solve on our own, but there are times that we may need to seek support from a professional who can be objective, supportive, and focused on us... Hi, my name is Net, and I am a seasoned therapist specializing in helping individuals experience a more stable sense of self, change unwanted patterns, and foster healthy relationships. In my practice, I value and strive to create a nurturing and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel supported to actively explore deep personal issues and be empowered to make lasting changes towards the life and the person they want to be!

I am an Adlerian counselor, helping people better understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, purpose, and motivations using a person-centered, positive, and cognitive-behavioral approach. I tend to focus on short-term symptoms but long-term mental health. I have worked with patients for just a few weeks at a time, as well as with some patients for several years. I tend to work mostly with people experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, which often shows up as frustration, anger, isolation, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and overall loss of pleasure in life.

Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.
