I am an experienced therapist offering counseling to individuals and couples. I provide a professional, relaxed environment in which clients will receive honest feedback and support surrounding their life stressors. I enjoy supporting clients in all phases of life transitions as they embark on a journey of increased health and well-being. I am certified in EMDR, as well as a specialist in perinatal mental health. I am also trained in Brainspotting. Using these approaches, as well as talk therapy, can truly help clients process the root issues related to current stressors.

With over 25 years experience as a therapist, I understand the importance of finding a welcoming space for therapy. Often people cope with stress in ways that can cause long-term problems. Whether you struggle with instability in your relationships, have mood swings, or addiction issues, therapy can help you learn more effective ways of coping, allowing you to be more effective and reduce suffering in your life. I specialize in treating individuals with various mental health concerns, including borderline personality disorder (BPD), addiction, LGBTQIA+ related issues, depression, OCT, trauma, and/or anxiety.

I started my career in a private foster care agency, then transitioned to a group practice for 7 years before opening my own practice. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have specialized training in adoption and play therapy. I view counseling as a partnership between client and counselor. I value the therapeutic relationship as central to supporting clients in developing insight, increasing self-awareness, and processing hurts. I utilize a variety of strategies to assist clients with examining their patterns in thought, feelings, and behaviors, to increase understanding, and make adjustments toward improved functioning.

My ideal client is someone who seeks clarity. They are genuinely curious about emotions and more interested in understanding than quick fixes. They have a solid desire to unravel their past, find solace, and heal from their struggles. They yearn for wholeness and are ready to transform our virtual therapy space. They deeply desire empowerment and actively engage in their healing journey by using tools and practicing mindfulness to rewrite their story. Above all, they crave connection and seek deep connections and vulnerability, with me, Dr. Edery, as their supportive guide.

Hi, I'm Michelle Gorden, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I specialize in treating mood disorders, trauma, and PTSD. My background is diverse and supports my ability to help my clients reach their highest potential. I strive to work collaboratively with each client in a non-judgmental space to improve overall happiness and well-being. Counseling can help you with many stressors in life such as anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, family conflict, and self-exploration.

If you are ready for a change, let's talk! I work best with individuals and couples who are motivated for change. The clients' I work best with initially report depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual concerns, relationship concerns, difficulty with effective communication and/or self-esteem struggles. Clients who are insightful and willing to try a new approach experience success in the therapeutic process with me. I also provide psychosocial evaluations for Hardship Waivers (I-601 and I-601A), Cancellation of Removal, VAWA and Spousal Abuse, U-Visas, Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and Convention Against Torture.

My belief is that everyone could use extra support, a place to define purpose and values, and tools to use to tackle life’s everyday challenges. As humans, we often struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties in relationships. I aim to walk with you through life’s most difficult moments while also celebrating life's successes. ​

Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or simply want insight into how you operate, I’m here to help. Often, a life transition brings people to therapy. Even transitions we choose—like starting college, a new relationship, or changing careers—can be stressful. If the transition is unexpected, like getting fired or facing a sudden health crisis, the impact may be profound. Together, we will work through the emotions and uncertainty that all transitions bring so that you can move forward with new insight and strength.

Are you suffering from the end of a relationship? A job? Do you feel like you are in crisis, or no longer feel like yourself? Maybe you’re realizing that your life as it is in this moment is not working for you. Perhaps you feel alone, lost, or at a loss for what to do. Congratulations on taking the first step to finding relief and taking control. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or to be anxious or angry all the time. You may feel stuck, but there is hope.

I offer services from two separate practices: my solo practice, where I serve Individuals with mental health diagnoses and accept insurance; and my couples specialty practice, "Relationship Repair" where I offer non-medical couples therapy and aid folks in healing their pain points and getting the relationship they want, and that practice is private pay only. Please indicate which service you are interested in when contacting me. I welcome clients from all ethnic and religious (or non-religious) backgrounds, and am an ally to LGBTQIA+ clients. I am sex positive and poly/kink informed.

Have you been trying to overcome difficulties in your life only to find yourself still feeling stuck? Perhaps it is time to try something new. Therapy is a place where you can talk, think, feel, act and learn new ways of being yourself. I draw from psychodynamic and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) approaches and invite my clients into an open experiment in which we can bring maladaptive habitual patterns into awareness and allow new ways of being to emerge.¨ I believe therapy offers the chance for an honest relationship that facilitates that change.

Are you struggling with feeling off balance in your marriage? Does it feel like there is a lack of appreciation or attention from your partner? Does it sometimes feel like you are living parallel lives? All families and couples go through these feelings at some point in their relationships, but it’s about how you choose to cope and change the course of your relationships that matter most. It is important to feel valued and understood. I provide a safe space for couples and families to repair and rebuild relationships through communication, understanding, and trust building without sacrificing their individual identity.

With experience in guiding individuals through grief, depression, trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal stress, I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Due to the stress of the everyday world, emotions can become intense, overwhelming, and at times debilitating. Therapy provides individuals with the support necessary to become your best self. I utilize a genuine, empathic and open-minded approach to treatment. I strive to help clients achieve improved connections, increased insight and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. I provide couples with the skills needed to improve communication, build trust and enhance intimacy.
