Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Virginia. I started in School Counseling and later began working with juvenile offenders and families to reduce recividism. After obtaining my license, I worked with clients experiencing a mental health crisis and in need of inpatient care. My most recent position allows me to provide assessments and individual counseling for underserved populations.

Hello, I'm Natalia. Are you feeling overwhelmed, tired, and worn with all your responsibilities as a young adult woman? Maybe feeling anxious, down or depressed and wondering how you will manage it all? Whether you’re a mother, a daughter, a student or an employee, you matter and behind all that you do is a woman wanting to be seen and heard. You Are Not Alone and you don’t have to do life alone.

I have 13 years of experience working as a therapist. I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is very important for the healing process, and I take time and care to establish rapport. I work with adolescents and adults who want to improve their mood, their relationships, self-regulation, communication skills and overall satisfaction with life. We explore your emotions, situations, and past events that have an impact on your life today. We can tap into the skills and gifts you already have and learn more.

Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

I offer compassionate counseling services that help you to access greater wellness in life. I enjoy supporting my clients in navigating a range of life stages and transitions. I believe deeply in the healing role of an authentic and warm therapeutic relationship. I have a passion for helping my clients to gain new levels of insight, collaborating around creative and compassionate ways to address personal and professional concerns, facilitating a safe space to explore important identities and cultural experiences, as well as supporting my clients' development of healthy relationships with others that can foster long-term growth.

I believe that clients are the expert in their lives who may need an opportunity to talk about what they are experiencing without feeling judged. The clinical process is not an easy path - it takes time to gain a greater awareness of ourselves and develop healthier coping strategies.

No matter who you are, life is always changing, filled with challenges, transitions, doubts, and sometimes successes. This is the human experience, and you do not have to go it alone. Counseling is an available resource to help hone your natural talents and skills to find vision, motivation, meaning, and resolve through your choices and experiences. With the support of a professional counselor there are no dead-end scenarios. I thoroughly believe in meeting clients where they are at, treating individuals with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they come from, celebrating differences and individuality.

Integrated Mental Wellness is an approach combining traditional approaches to mental health such as talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, medications with other modalities that together more comprehensively support wellbeing. Wellness has many domains including relationships/community, health/diet/physical activity, creativity, meaning/spirituality. This approach addresses a whole person as a unique individual attempting to deal in their own ways with their challenges.

Jodi Herndon has over a decade of experience providing individualized care for adults and adolescents with depression and anxiety. She has spent the last decade specializing in individuals with substance use disorders and has a dual license in this specialty.

I believe that everyone can heal, grow, and thrive through therapy. I enjoy working with clients to help them process trauma, loss, and grief and to help those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Everyone needs connection and relationships in their lives. I help my clients become aware of their own needs, emotions, and fears so that they are better able to connect with others. My own experience with grief after losing my husband in a car accident forced me to grow and learn about recovery from catastrophic loss. We all face unique challenges and tragedies in our lives. Therapy can help us to feel less alone in our pain.

Hello! My name is Newzaira, which translates to someone who sees's the good in others. Do you feel that at times you struggle with finding a deeper meaning in life? Or that little things can trigger a large emotional response? Is it hard to draw kindness to your experiences and others around you?

Discovering your passions, managing change and navigating daily stressors can be difficult. It is particularly difficult, if you are experiencing stress at home or work, struggling with unhealthy behaviors or dealing with unexpected life events. I work collaboratively with clients to determine their treatment goals and explore barriers that prevent them from reaching them. My aim is to help you process change while offering strategies that increase coping skills and challenge behaviors that disrupt your progress.

I am a person-centered therapist who truly believes that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to support and guide you on your journey, empowering you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. With a deep respect for your individuality, I strive to create an environment where you can freely express yourself without fear of being misunderstood. As a geek-aware therapist, I understand the power of pop culture, gaming, technology, and all things nerdy. I embrace your passions, whether it's delving into the world of comic books, discussing the latest sci-fi TV series, or video game narratives.

My objectives in therapy are safety and growth. We will work together to discover what is needed to create the life and relationships you want. Together, we discuss what is needed for you to thrive (and what gets in the way). I am honest and direct in my work. I am a highly empathetic, interactive, personal, and dynamic therapist who can equally support and challenge when needed. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families with relationship issues, connections (with self and others), anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger, communication, impostor syndrome, and mindfulness.

Welcome and well done on navigating this difficult step of finding care.

I believe that counseling is most effective when it is designed by the participant and fits their individual or family needs. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and holds certifications in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma Treatment. I have experience working with children and their families to strengthen attachment, manage complex traumatic experiences, and overcome anxiety, depression, suicidality, isolation, and negative patterns of behavior.

Life throws a lot at us. Sometimes it’s a recurring problem and sometimes it’s a totally new and unexpected problem. I have experience working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, eating disorders, sexuality and gender exploration, trauma, relational issues, life transition difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. I also enjoy working with clients who share multiracial, Hispanic, or Asian backgrounds. Whatever the concern is, it’s my privilege to walk alongside my client as they navigate a path forward.
