Self Esteem Therapists in West Virginia

Are you an athlete or know of an athlete with all of physical ability, but lack the mental ability in the moments that matter? Do you lack the confidence needed to consistently play well in your sport? You may be fed up with the pressure to perform and feeling like you can’t get out of your head. If this is you or someone you know, you are ready to take the next step in your athletic development. You are ready to have the confidence you desire. You are ready to learn the mental strategies that will give you consistent outcomes. Most of all, you’re ready to become the athlete you want to become!

I am devoted to helping people cope with situations in daily living. Psychotherapy services are provided to children ages 11-12, adolescents, and adults with mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral issues. Licensed Psychologist Dr. Dee Nazzaro provides clinical guidance, along with Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) Sara Delong, MSW, LICSW. My goal is to gain an understanding of your situation and help you reach your goal(s).

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist based in West Virginia. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers. I have 5 years of therapy experience with clients of all ages, including kids, teens and adolescents. I have provided services both online and in person through an agency and in my private practice.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients who are having difficulty in our fast-paced environment dealing with life’s stressors related to marriages/partnerships, families, friendships, social isolation, employment and finances. I provide a safe place where clients know they can share in a confidential environment without judgment. All of us have negative thoughts. Realizing that we are more than our thoughts, though, can be truly liberating and allow a person to live a full and meaningful life, even when faced with struggles that may seem impossible to overcome.

My personal practice is centered on curiosity, openness, and understanding. I will never claim to know exactly what it is like to live the life you’ve lived (as we’re all so unique!), but I will do my best to hear your story in the way you want it to be heard. Together, we will work as a team to identify, understand, and challenge the things that keep you feeling stuck. I aim to help my clients cultivate self-compassion and develop coping and self-regulation tools that can be accessed no matter what life may throw their way. My experience is primarily in working with complex trauma, anxiety, disordered eating, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. My goals are to assist you with problem areas of your life. I offer a safe and judgement free space for you to explore your issues.

My goal in counseling each individual is to help them feel and get better. I have been working with children and adolescents in this field for over 20 years in areas such as ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and behavior issues as well as struggles in the family unit. In addition to this, I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and life stressors who want to improve their moods and make positive life changes for themselves.

No shame-based, trauma informed, evidenced based treatment focusing on optimal recovery, healing, and wellness;

I work predominantly with adults ages 21-81. About 20% of my practice consists of families or couples. Common themes for therapy are family conflict, romantic relationships or lack of, chronic illness, anxiety and depression.

Everyone feels anxiety. It is a normal human emotion, but sometimes anxiety becomes too big and no longer helpful. When anxiety feels burdensome, help and hope are available. I enjoy helping clients handle concerns with anxiety, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and a range of fears/phobias (needle, blood, heights, animals, etc.). I also have expertise working with clients who are experiencing depression, grief/loss, the unique challenges faced by the queer community, as well as distinct issues encountered by men in general.

We look at the individual as an individual. It is with that apporach that we work to truly incorporate body and mind through behavioral and bio-chemical interventions. We bring traditional counseling techniques with a blend of supplements and amino acids to increase the individual's chances of a long-term change.

Do you feel like no one sees you or your pain? Do you feel misunderstood and alone in your thoughts? Are you navigating through life holding on to emotional pain and circumstances that leave you feeling alone or out of control? Living with all of these thoughts, feelings and emotions can be overwhelming to our daily routine and function and just having another person to walk this journey of life can create healing and new perspective.

In a society that often celebrates pushing limits and wearing masks to conceal our struggles, I believe it's time to unveil the true depth of our emotions and challenges. As a dedicated mental health counselor, I am committed to creating a safe space where individuals can remove their masks, explore their vulnerabilities, and embark on a journey towards holistic wellness.

Anxious? Do you feel like your brain gets stuck? Are you worried about what COULD happen? Are you getting easily irritated towards loved ones? Maybe you are feeling sad, overwhelmed, or having a difficult time with life's changes. Reaching out can be frightening, as well as the idea of these symptoms worsening. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and/or your child/family to connect, feel heard and understood, and learn the tools needed to get back to functioning at the level you desire. Let me help you turn life's challenges into a journey of bravery and self-care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor/EMDR Therapist providing individual therapy to children, teens, adults, and families. As a Mental Health Counselor, I believe meeting clients where they currently are is a top priority ensuring you feel heard, validated, and understood.

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Ironically, someone living with chronic stress uses the same strategy. Hoping their "I'll get through this somehow" attitude will make the stress go away. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping, growing impatience and anger with others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, secretly feeling bad about oneself, guilty and resentful are all indicators one is out of balance. Let me help you remove this distress before it results in health issues. I have years of successful experience teaching clients powerful interventions to transform stress into personal empowerment.

My philosophy of healing is like working your way through a set of nesting dolls from the outer doll representing why you want to heal: trauma, attachment/relationship injury, depression, grief, and anxiety. The next doll holds the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings of the first doll. The next doll may may hold your negative beliefs you have perceived about yourself, others, and the world. The next doll may hold consequences and life impairments. The final doll represents your core and authentic self. The person you would be without all of the other dolls in relationship to the unity of mind, soul, heart, body and spirit.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from West Virginia University and am a licensed, independent clinician in both West Virginia and Maryland. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults and have experience working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, mood disorders, chronic illness and crisis intervention. I believe that all people possess the strengths and abilities to overcome life’s challenges and sometimes we just need a safe space, an open mind and some extra tools to cope with these inevitable parts of life.
