Anxiety Therapists in Centreville, VA

Anxiety? Let's calm the mental hurricane together? I have limited space available. Anxiety and the related trauma, stress, PTSD, and depression can be treated if you are willing to work at therapy. So come ready to work and let's do this! Let me help you work on: decreasing those worried thoughts, meditation, boundary setting, self-compassion, healing your mental pain, and slowing down to see where you want to go in life. I will partner with you to work on your goals. And hey, if I don't answer, I may be helping someone, so please do leave a message.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a challenging relationship that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, or your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by just getting through the day or answering emails, texts, or calls? Do you wonder if life could be better? Thank you for reaching out for support! I take a collaborative and wellness-based approach to counseling that uses my client’s strengths and expertise as we work together to identify problem areas getting in the way of their relational, spiritual, academic, or professional values and goals.

Lately life is relentless. Overwhelming. Filled with demands. Suddenly, you’re full time mom, teacher, employee of the year and queen of the zoom meeting! There’s never a moment to yourself…yet you’ve never felt more alone, invisible, exhausted by it all. You find yourself anxious. How to balance all the competing demands and still have time to go get the groceries, let alone sleep a few hours before you get up to do it again? Your mind circles, trying to figure some way out of the trap…you don’t want to be grouchy. You long to get back to connection and peace, to be the fun-loving mom you always thought you’d be.

I believe in a compassionate approach to therapy, working collaboratively to see inner and outer challenges in new ways so that you can have new choices in how you wish to them. Sometimes, it's useful to look to the past in therapy so as to change old patterns of thought, emotion and behavior in order to discover more liberating ways of being in the present and the future. Therapy also focuses on developing new skills to handle one's emotions and relationships so as to decrease suffering and work more effectively towards the goals that you care deeply about.

Let’s face it, sometimes life can be challenging which can hinder personal growth, happiness, relationships, quality of life, professional success, parenting among other things. You feel like you are spinning your wheels but not going anywhere. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, sad and/or irritated. Effecting change takes work but YOU can master the skills to cope with these feelings and regain control of your life! You want to create meaningful changes but aren’t sure where to start. There is no magical solution, and, change takes work, however, YOU have the ability to make it happen.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of Panic Attacks, OCD, Generalized Anxiety, and ADHD. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and published a book on Panic Attacks "Attacking Panic: The Power To Be Calm." I am licensed to practice in Virginia.

Have you spent years struggling to be yourself with family, coworkers, friends, and loved ones? Unable to control emotions? Unsure how to express yourself in a way you feel understood? You're not alone, and I'm here to help. With years of experience in mental health, I have honed my skills in addressing trauma, mood disorders, and unresolved emotions/relationships. My approach is holistic, integrating skill-based therapy and talk therapy with a culturally sensitive perspective to ensure that you can see and feel change in a safe and positive way!

Would you like to become the best version of yourself? That journey begins with figuring out what you want, choosing what you believe and taking responsibility for the changes you want to make. This is a step by step process best achieved in an environment of unconditional positive regard, validation and genuineness. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy along with mindfulness, assertiveness training and relaxation techniques.

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.

Greetings from Nucleus Counseling Services (NCS)!! Are you or a loved one experiencing feelings of loneliness, fatigue, low energy, lack of focus, anxiety or are you struggling with a traumatic experience? At Nucleus we believe that healing begins when our core issues are addressed. We are here, via teletherapy, to assist individuals with navigating social/emotional obstacles that may be interfering with day to day function and progress.

Painful past experiences and current life stressors can tremendously impact our mental health, challenge our relationships with others, and affect our sense of self. We often have to find strategies to adapt and survive difficult circumstances of disconnection, criticism, invalidation, and trauma. Without realizing it, we may develop beliefs about ourselves that are limiting and self-defeating, and we continue to operate from old patterns long after they have stopped serving us. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for you to share, learn, grow, and heal.

In my experience, a solid and trusting bond between a client and therapist brings about the most positive and sustaining life changes. In therapy, I like to help create the safest environment for someone to fully express themselves without judgment. In this day and age, it is so easy to hide away parts of us that we find shameful or unattractive, only to find that we become unhappy, worried and lonely. I would like to facilitate an experience of being known and accepted, as this can only help uncover the things standing in our way and the tools to move past them. I offer online and telephone therapy.

We all face problems in life which can at times seem overwhelming. Do you find yourself feeling sad or anxious, stressed or discouraged? Are you looking for greater happiness and fulfillment in your relationships or career? Perhaps you've tried everything you can think of but nothing seems to work. I would like to help. I believe that entering a respectful, compassionate therapeutic relationship can promote real change and lead to greater satisfaction and enjoyment in life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples in a relaxed, safe, and caring environment. People enter my office because they feel stuck or lost. Clients recognize that they are unhappy and often know what makes them unhappy, but they don't know how to change. Many people in these situations are feeling depressed, anxious, and may be involved with self-defeating behaviors. Together, we examine these issues with non-judgmental dialogue.
