CareFirst Therapists in Winchester, VA

We enjoy working with clients who are motivated to grow, change, and seek overall emotional health and wellness through the counseling process. We will create a safe and supportive environment so that our clients are able to set and meet their goals without feeling judged or criticized. Our clients "drive" the counseling process, while we gently support them on their road to personal growth.

Immediate Openings! Life is an extraordinary thing but it can also be full of challenges, especially when situations occur that can seem out of our control. Sometimes life stressors can seem so overwhelming that it can be hard to imagine that light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it can feel like we are just surviving instead of thriving. My goal is to help you reverse that and really begin thriving in the life you deserve. I utilize a strengths-based, client-centered, collaborative, trauma-informed, and holistic approach that considers the person’s mind, body, spirit and worldview.

Dr. Rachel Spurrier is a licensed clinical psychologist administering comprehensive psychological evaluations to clarify client diagnosis as well as to provide recommendations for treatment. Dr. Spurrier has administered testing to clients with concerns related to depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, adjustment disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), learning disabilities, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her goal with clients is to make them feel comfortable and secure with the evaluative process, and to understand the importance of testing as they progress in their therapeutic treatment.

As a psychotherapist, I cultivate a safe & supportive atmosphere in which my clients explore thoughts and feelings about the important areas in their lives that may be broken, or not working as well as one hoped and planned. Adults often address major life changes, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, as well as struggles with substance misuse and alcoholism.

I weave in CBT techniques, motivational interviewing skills, and humanistic interventions to help you move forward on your path. It is my hope that each individual I work with will find greater health and wholeness as we work together through their therapeutic journey.

Hello, I'm Kelsey, a passionate Licensed Professional Counselor. My heart lies in working with women and adolescents, guiding them through life's challenges to find healing and growth. With trauma as my focus, and my understanding of the complexity of how compounded stress impacts our lives, I have trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which enables me to work with the client to remove the pain/feelings of the trauma and restore life to the pre-trauma level of functioning. I firmly believe that addressing trauma is pivotal to achieving lasting transformation, and I bring a trauma-focused approach to all my counseling sessions.

My ideal client will want to grow from our time together. I will provide you with education and ideas as to how you can improve your mental health. What you do with that information outside of our sessions determines your success!

Personal growth and a life fulfilled is what most people strive to achieve in this lifetime. But personal growth is NOT with out challenge.... Have you experienced a major life event such as the death of a loved one, loss of employment, divorce or retirement? Are you thinking...how do I create a "New Normal"? .... Are you feeling overwhelmed... don't know where to begin? Are you pondering if your emotional responses could be hindering a better life choice or change? When exploring your values and priorities...are they truly YOUR choices or are you trying to fulfill a role and please others?

Are you struggling with grief, sadness, or depression? Do you feel like it takes extra effort to get things accomplished, or just to get through the day? Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety about everything, or have trouble obtaining adequate sleep? Things can get better, but it is hard to do it alone. I am so thankful that you have chosen to reach out for support. I am a LPC specializing in work with adults. Therapy can be enlightening and transformative when you are paired with the right therapist for you.

It is not easy to ask for help, but in working with me you will find a safe, compassionate, and accepting space that fosters growth and personal development. For over 14 years now, I’ve had the honor, privilege, and opportunity to use my training, skills, and experience to try to make a positive difference in the lives of many people, from many different walks of life. By meeting people where they are, and not where they are expected to be, I empower my clients to lift themselves up. I help my clients turn difficulties into opportunities for personal growth and a more satisfying and rewarding life through promoting positive change.

I'm so glad that you are reaching out. It's a big step to reach out for support during a difficult season of life, but a step that is so important. My goal is to make this healing process as comfortable as possible for you. I approach therapy as a partnership; you and I working together towards your goals. You are the expert of your own lived experience, and I know that you have strengths inside of you that can be used on your journey towards healing. I am here to walk with you on that journey; offering feedback, support and alternate ways of thinking along the way.
