Male Therapists in Virginia

This is an accelerated solution-focused type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy used to create long lasting results as fast as possible. Modern Psychological Services only uses medically validated treatment to reduce symptoms usually within 8 to 10 sessions. Obviously some cases take much longer. During cognitive training, you will develop your own toolbox of mental and emotional techniques making future stress easier to deal with. In the end, you will gain independence from therapy as your psychology becomes self-sufficient and your emotions self-regulate.

I have always had a keen interest in the human experience, which has been cultivated into a passion for helping individuals face the struggles inherent within their lives. I believe that effective therapy is based on providing an attentive ear to the specific needs and struggles of each client. I recognize that facing significant issues within our lives takes bravery and requires a counselor to have a skilled eye for the ways in which our own behaviors hold us back from the goals we set forth for ourselves. Exploring difficult areas of life takes a willingness to confront hard truths while using a gentle hand in the process.

When grappling with life's relentless challenges, like grief, loss, trauma, depression, and anxiety, we can feel trapped in a seemingly unchangeable reality. In these moments, Viktor Frankl's poignant words ring true: "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." As your therapist, I am committed to walking alongside you and igniting this inherent transformative power within you. Together, we'll journey through these difficult times, building resilience and strength, and carving out fresh perspectives to light your way forward.

Expect our sessions to have a feeling of natural conversation, with a dash of humor as we work to instill hope, develop solutions, and promote your healing. Let's do this!

I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy which involves integrating various elements of different theories and practice. I lean most heavily on approaches focused on how people’s thinking can change feelings and behaviors while also implementing an approach focused on helping clients achieve their highest potential.

I also use approaches oriented toward problem-solving including Hypnotherapy, NLP Brain Training, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Coaching, and EMDR therapy.
