Play Therapy in West End, VA

Hi there! I'm Kelly, a dedicated therapist with a strong foundation in social work and a passion for providing trauma-informed, person-centered therapy to adolescents and adults in a warm and inviting environment. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where individuals of all identities feel respected, valued, and supported. With a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Science and Social Work, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. Additionally, I am trauma treatment graduate certified specializing in trauma-focused interventions.

I am committed to helping individuals find the strength within themselves and to share that with those most important to them. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, I always seek to assist you in finding the most effective way to help you achieve your goals and live a happier life. My orientation is interpersonal, psychodynamic and emotionally focused. I am very active in the therapy.

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.

Seeking therapy and support can be tough. I seek to create a safe and comfortable place for all individuals to work towards healing and growth from where they are, when they are ready. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that allows clients to work towards building on self-esteem and other necessary skills. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults as we all navigate the world and process the challenges that follow. I have three years of experience working in education that has enlightened my understanding of the complex, developmental processes, that children and adults face.

I have experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, divorce, single parenting, job loss, family conflict, stress, domestic violence, substance abuse, and crisis situations.

Hi I’m Ashley, the founder and heart of WATWC. I love working with highly ambitious young professional Black Women and Women of Color who desire to reclaim control from anxiety stemming from childhood trauma and live boldly with purpose. I’m often described by my clients as real, relatable, and culturally responsive. Let's be honest! Starting therapy can bring up so many emotions. That's why it is essential for me to infuse the therapy room with fun, laughter, and encouragement. I value gently challenging those I work with to redefine self-care and prioritize their well-being, even while balancing the many roles they fulfill.

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 7 years, I have supported teens and adults with childhood wounds, grief, religious trauma, or sexual assault in creating more confidence, balance, and comfort in their lives. I especially enjoy working with folks who are exploring their sexuality or questioning their spiritual beliefs, but these are not necessary for us to work together.

The decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one, and choosing the right therapist can be overwhelming. I am passionate about helping children, teens, and families live a more peaceful and empathetic life.

Do you feel down or maybe just unlike yourself due to something you're dealing with? Is there a change taking place & you're struggling as a result? Do you find it difficult to say no to people? If you knew how to, you would stop putting other people's needs ahead of your own. Your recent or near past experiences come up & you struggle to make sense of it all, wondering if you will feel better & be able to move on. Do you find yourself worrying & fixating on past events more than you like? You overthink your behaviors & wish you could go back for a do-over. Or you feel off due to changes with a loved one, family member or partner?

I work with children from 3 to 18 as well as adults, couples and families with issues such as trauma histories, anxiety, depression, school issues, self-esteem issues, anger management, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, divorce issues, family conflict and parenting. My goal is to provide a safe space where children and adults can feel free to express themselves and in that process develop self-awareness and a skill set to improve relationships with themselves and with others. I do this in a non-judgmental, compassionate and caring way to promote healing and transformation.

Hello and welcome! If you're looking for a therapist for yourself or your child, I can help. Although many people are able to express exactly what is causing them stress (or why), it's also common to struggle with putting it into words. You might feel anxious or depressed more days than not. Clients who seek me out often experience overwhelming emotions but might also feel low and unmotivated, or even detached. If you're a parent, you might be concerned about your child but feel unsure how to help them. I'd like to partner with you on how to make things better for you!
