As a psychologist on The Mind Center's team, I understand the challenges you face when navigating your child's academic and emotional needs.

Asking for support and help can be difficult, if you struggle with some of these thoughts; “I’ve relapsed and shame is taking over.” “I’m so stressed out I can't function anymore.” “My life is out of control, how did I let it get to this point.” “All my family does is argue with one another.” Sometimes it all seems so overwhelming and impossible. My approach is solution focused with unconditional positive regard. I work in a non-judgmental space to help guide down a purposeful life, living up to your potential.

I provide support to individuals who are navigating the effects of trauma or complex life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression, or relational challenges, or carrying the weight of marginalization, cultural displacement, or perinatal stress. Many are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel disconnected and overwhelmed. They are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can learn to feel grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected—to themselves and to others. Ultimately, they are seeking not only relief from symptoms but also growth, integration, and a more fulfilling way of being in the world.

Get busy living or... A stark choice laid bare by Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption. But what does it mean to live? Living is more than mere existence. It’s about experiencing joy, feeling connected, and finding purpose. It’s about overcoming challenges, embracing growth, and building resilience. Therapy is a catalyst for this transformation. It's a space where you can explore the depths of your being, understand your patterns, and develop tools to overcome obstacles. As a therapist with lived addiction and mental health recovery, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to heal and reclaim your life.

I am passionate about helping individuals from diverse backgrounds to experience growth in their lives and achieve their highest potential. I believe that your relationship with your therapist should not be one where you constantly feel the need to explain yourself and your culture. I value the impact that an individual's culture, religion, and family history bring to their lives. As humans, we do not live in a bubble. Our health, physical and mental, is impacted by issues such as individual racism, structural racism, poverty, and the struggle for equality.

Hi, my name is Jeannette Abelson, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Interpersonal Practice, from the University of Michigan in 1998. Over the past 25 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles.

I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding you on your healing journey. My approach is shaped not only by my professional education but also by my personal experiences as a mother of four, navigating divorce, embracing life as an empty nester, and enduring the profound loss of my husband and parents. These life experiences have deepened my belief in God’s transformative power and the healing that comes through authentic connection. I offer a holistic, faith-integrated approach grounded in interpersonal neurobiology and an understanding of our God-designed need for connection and being known.

Sometimes, life can be difficult to navigate, and you just need someone with whom to process all that is going on inside of you. You may be struggling with your faith journey or with relating to your children, your partner, or your parents. You might be asking scary questions about your own identity, including gender or sexuality, and how to integrate that with your faith. You might be trying to acclimate to the U.S. after growing up overseas. You might be failing to maintain focus on what matters in life and need some emotional support to live the life you always hoped you would live.

My ideal client is an individual who realizes they are navigating a season of change and everything feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety shows up as constant overthinking or tight chest that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. You may be juggling a career, relationships, and caring for others while quietly wondering, “What about me?” Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving an old one, or simply feeling lost in the in-between, you don’t have to do it alone.

Often times as a client when talking to Therapist, counselors you feel like your voice is not being heard or just another notch under their belts. As your resident Therapist your voice will be heard and you will be treated with the utmost respect.

My passion as a therapist is helping couples and families establish a safe, secure connection. This often involves healing a past injury. I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an empirically validated therapy based in attachment theory. I also work with individuals to help recover from depression and establish ways to manage anxiety. Parenting, including co-parenting for divorced couples is another passion of mine.
