Therapists Beginning With W in Virginia

Hello! My name is Stephanie (she/her/hers) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with individuals and couples through life adjustments, job changes and finding meaning in your day to day. I'm happy to help you reach your goals in managing your mental health and your life! You can expect to feel empowered and encouraged after our sessions with tools to manage the things that come up in life with more ease.

Ultreya means Onward in Spanish. This sentiment is perfect for a mental health counselor, because our goals are about helping clients progress onward in their lives and to not let the past dictate their present or future. My intention with my practice is to help clients navigate their lives in a way that they become more self-aware and happy with the individual that they are, rather than who they think they should be based on the world around them.

Dr. Wade specializes in health psychology, particularly the areas of chronic pain, adjustment to chronic illness or injury, weight management, weight loss surgery counseling, disordered eating, body image concerns, and implementing health-promoting lifestyle changes. Dr. Wade practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and positive psychology approaches, capitalizing on the strengths of each individual to form a collaborative and holistic treatment plan.

Do you felt lost and need guidance? Are you going through a hard time and don’t know what to do? Are you looking for a safe space to vent and be free to express yourself? If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, it would be my pleasure to work with you.

Outwardly, you seem to have it all together. You’re living the perfect life… on paper. On the inside, it feels like you’re just keeping your head above water. Days are lackluster and monotonous, like someone muted all the colors of life. Yet the painful emotions are vibrant as ever, and are starting to feel overwhelming: anxiety, loneliness, shame. Gnawing emptiness. You try to distract yourself, but it’s getting harder. The critical voice in your head is growing more insistent. You can’t talk about it because you’re the one people go to with their problems. You know something has to change, but you don’t know how or where to start.

Dr. Waggoner has a passion for working with individuals and couples who struggle with trauma, crisis, suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse (physical, emotional, mental, sexual, spiritual), and complex trauma. She also works with the grief, loss, depression, and anxiety that stems from these issues.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of clinical counseling experience providing services in the Tyson's Corner area. I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents through individual, group, couples and family treatment modalities. I have a diverse professional background including community mental health, independent counseling groups and private practice.

I only provide Telehealth services due to COVID-19. I am a Licensed Clinical psychologist who completed clinical training at Duke University, Harvard Medical School's Victims of Violence Program and at the University of Massachusetts and UNC-Chapel Hill. I provide highly specialized treatments for traumatic stress (posttraumatic stress disorders), grief/loss, major depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I am trained in several highly specialized, evidenced-based therapies that have scientific research supporting their efficacy. I have also worked extensively with college students and physicians coping with burnout.

Hi and welcome to the first step on your mental health journey! Life tends to hand us painful experiences that make us feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to cope. If you're feeling this way and need support, you have come to the right place. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process your feelings, feel heard, and empowered.

Hello. I am Alexis and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Work practicing in Virginia. I have over twenty years of experience working with clients of all ages in a wide range of settings including: inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, outpatient care, in-home, school and residential. Most of my experience has been working with individuals who struggle with grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, Autism Spectrum, PTSD, developmental and intellectual disabilities, abuse, trauma and major life changes.

When life gets overwhelming, it can feel like you are stuck, facing an endless cycle that you wish could change. Experiencing gridlock in your own life or in a relationship can be stressful, frustrating and lonely. Sometimes in the moment, it can seem easier to ignore/avoid the issues that are challenging you until you are faced with them again; and other times you can’t stop thinking about your challenges. It can also be difficult or painful to tolerate watching your loved ones struggle, or make decisions you think are not in their best interest. Over time these stressors can cause you to experience negative thoughts and feelings.

I support individuals and couples by using the science of attachment to make sense of important relationships. My role is to help you to organize your life experiences and emotions so you can better understand your patterns/needs for connection and then find more satisfying ways to share and relate to loved ones. I work to help you make sense of your emotions, especially the vulnerabilities, misunderstandings, protections, and hurts that underpin your experience and often drive your behavior or responses. From there, I can support you to create more satisfying relationships, abundant self-work, clear boundaries, and emotional calm.

Hello! I specialize in serving adolescent, young adult, and adult clients experiencing disordered eating/eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions struggles, and stress. In session, I aim to provide a safe space for clients to explore and process the intricacies of their experiences, while acknowledging the many intersections of background and identity that each person possesses. Additionally, I utilize a client-centered approach that honors each person’s inherent wisdom as the mechanism that will lead to lasting change. She is licensed in both Connecticut and Virginia.

My style is compassionate and supportive. I specialize in working with clients to enhance psychological growth, build satisfaction, and build community in their lives. I have over 15 years of experience facilitating change and self-integration. Clients often report feeling more alive, willing to take more risks, and feeling secure in their relationships with others following their therapy journey.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feelings of not measuring up in some way? Is it tied into an eating disorder, body image, relationships, parenting, perfectionism, performance, major life changes, or substance use that has you feeling this way? Most likely life feels like a bloody slog, but it doesn't have to be. Nor do you have to do it alone. As a therapist, I don't judge and I don't tell you what to do. I'm a guide, educator, and motivator who will work as hard as you're willing to work so you can have a full, happy life.
