As a Contemplative Psychotherapist and Coach, I offer my clients a unique blend of professional and spiritual experience. For 34 years I have been counseling individuals and families. My work is enriched by over four decades of engagement in Buddhist philosophy and practice. This background offers expertise in helping individuals and couples find authentic love, and parents more mindful and ethical parenting. I also coach many clients on how to use their wisdom and kindness to reach more 'enlightened' functioning. I do accept a limited number of insurance clients.

Through a holistic and integrative approach I support individuals and families to navigate the unique challenges that life has unfolded for them. Whether our work takes place in my office or out in nature, I help my clients identify, cultivate and nourish their strengths and resources. Through our work my clients deepen their connection to themselves, others and the natural world. As these connections grow I support my clients to uncover limiting patterns that inhibit their relationships, creativity and happiness so they can nourish new ways of moving and relating in the world that support authenticity, ease, and joy.

I believe that therapy is about the journey towards self-discovery and joining that person on a quest to seek out the answers they already have within themselves. The ideal client is a person who is open to learning, determined to self-improve and committed to the therapeutic relationship. My experiences with mental health range from: autism, mood disorders, postpartum depression, lyme disease, suicide ideation, gender identity concerns,personality disorders, chronic pain, trauma, behavioral management, social skills training, parent training, psychosis to substance use.

I serve individuals who have experienced interpersonal violence, sexual violence, attachment wounds, and other traumas. Trauma is events, experiences, and their effects. It is the ensnaring voice inside that says "not good enough," it's the feeling of shame and not-belonging, and it's the body's rhythms out-of-sync. Through a healing relationship, I journey with clients in the messy process of change by drawing on their inborn capacity for growth and wisdom. I support clients in reconnecting the stories of the mind, heart, and body such that they attune to the self with compassion, honor their emotions, and orient to the present.

Accepting new clients: I approach my work through the lens of attachment – how we cope in moments of disconnection with those we love the most – with empathy, cultural awareness, and validation around being a human – moreover, a parent. As a mother to young children, I understand the beauty and despair of parenthood. As a therapist, I understand the impact our childhood experiences have on how we show up in our adult relationships. I meld my experience and training to support both women and men along the path of reconnecting with themselves and with those whom they love most.

Being human can be incredibly difficult. Our feelings and thoughts significantly shape our experiences, both inwardly and in our relationships with others. When we struggle, it’s common to feel stuck and isolated in our pain, often lacking the tools to navigate and change. My goal is to establish a trusting, collaborative partnership where we can address your current challenges, explore the roots of your suffering, and gain a healing perspective. By understanding your motivations, experiences, and patterns we can build the capacity needed to traverse your emotional landscape helping you feel empowered and centered in life.

Hello there! I'm Joshua Schaap, though most folks just call me Josh - either works for me. A few tidbits about me: I'm a sucker for a captivating true-crime podcast, and I share my life with a rescue pup named Lilo. On a professional note, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Virginia. Before joining the Lifebulb team, I've worked across various mental health settings, from psychiatric inpatient to residential recovery and outpatient care. Each experience has enriched my understanding of mental health & deepened my respect for those I've had the privilege to assist along the journey.

Some gentle reminders: It's not too late for you + Having feelings means you are human + Not everyone will understand you + You deserve to heal from the things that weren't your fault + You don't have to abandon yourself to be loved + Your sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness + You can (learn to) trust yourself (again). My therapy style is intuitive, imaginative, soulful, and authentic. As a breast cancer survivor, I welcome women facing breast cancer to receive therapeutic, tender care during that challenging time.

I am a firm believer in evidence based treatments and have extensive training and practice in such. That being said, I recognize that "evidence" is usually based on outcomes of clinical trials with very controlled environments where very specific populations with very specific diagnoses are treated. Thus, I find that I am most effective when adapting, integrating and tailoring treatments to my clients' individual needs.
