Depression Therapists in Crimora, VA

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in the field. I have worked in private practice, hospice, integrated healthcare, and child and family settings. My specialities include working with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, life transitions, coping skills, and aging. My approach incorporates strengths-based and trauma-informed modalities, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I help my clients navigate grief and trauma, create better interpersonal relationships, and cope with life stressors.

Life can be overwhelming and emotional when children and adolescents are struggling with mental health concerns and challenges. Trauma leaves feelings of anxiety, depression, worthlessness that can make everyday interactions a struggle. Individuals need to feel safe, secure, feel valued and have a sense of belonging to fully participate in their lives. Treatment options should focus on their developmental stage, strengths and values. Building self-esteem, confidence and self image is the first step to healing.

Hi. I'm Lisa Smith, a Clinical Social Worker. I like our therapy to be a time of creating what next steps you are willing to try. Together we think of the barrier. I act as a coach for accountability with awareness of any diagnosis or past struggles you've had. I highlight your strengths and together we celebrate victories. The therapy I use is research-based. I'll show you the logic and ease of following incremental steps. I will share the traits of your personality or diagnosis that are working for or hindering progress. When plans don't work, we begin again.

Hi, my name is Nicole. I've transformed personal experiences of trauma & abuse into the ability of having true empathy & understanding for others. Hope is fostered through a nurturing and safe space where thoughts and feelings are validated.

A sensitive & compassionate therapist will enable you to feel seen & heard. I’m here to hold space & provide guidance which enables trust in your internal wisdom to grow. You matter! It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck? I would be honored to be a participant in your journey towards change. When working with individuals, I seek to provide a safe space for people to consider how their lived experiences, ways of thinking and environments impact their mental health and the way that they feel. Together, we can explore ways in which to create change, while discovering coping skills, and examining how patterns of thinking can impact our decisions, behaviors, and moods.

Many individuals I work with are in the midst of a major life transition or in need of one. Transitions can have many forms: loss or gain of income, status, health, security, or a loved one; the course of life bringing you into adulthood, parenthood, middle or old age; traumatic experiences; spiritual, psychedelic, or spontaneous experiences that alter your sense of self and the world. Other times you may sense that something is off but don’t yet have the words to articulate what needs to be changed. Some of the difficulties you may encounter at these times are anxiety, depression, anger, relationship trouble, and confusion.
