Therapists in Henrico, VA

Hello! My name is Tara Johnson, LPC, and I am a graduate of Walden University with my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. In my educational and clinical journey, I have found the Cognitive-Behavioral approach to be of great assistance; however, I am also aware that everyone is unique thereby requiring the addition of other therapies as warranted in my “mental health toolbox”. All theories incorporate an understanding of the desire to change one’s approach to a situation even if the situation continues to exist, let me assist you in the process.

The fact that you have found your way to this site indicates that you or someone you care about may be experiencing pain or distress. My experience has shown me that people have the ability to heal and make the changes they desire when given the tools, guidance and encouragement that will help them. My treatment approach uses a combination of strategies to help you reach your goals effectively.

Helping people live a better life is my passion. Do you struggle with anxiety, childhood trauma, PTSD, depression and/or ADHD that affects your daily life, relationships and ability to function? It might be that you are learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, or life transition or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Our goal is to help you feel better so you can live the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Hi there, I'm Aryn. Are you someone that finds yourself in a place of life transition? Feeling anxious or depressed about how your life is changing? Are you facing a divorce, new to being a single parent, graduating school, transitioning to adulthood or making some other big life change? I'm here to help clients facing tough life transitions overcome the barriers they are facing and take the leap into their new and improved lives. Together, we can identify what parts of yourself are struggling and what stressors you are facing in order to become your best self.

Do you feel stressed out and overwhelmed balancing parenthood with your career and relationships? Do you wake up exhausted and dreading the day? If you’re struggling to balance life’s demands and be at your best, now is a good time to connect with an experienced therapist who can help. Now more than ever parents are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain on how to juggle their kids, spouses, careers, and their own well-being. Prioritizing others first while putting your own needs last can work a little, but leads to longer-term issues like burnout, depression, and chronic stress. You don't want to burden your friends and family either.

I work with clients from all walks of life who may be struggling with drug addiction, life transitions, self-confidence and other issues that affect your well-being. During our initial session, we will collaborate to create a plan designed to get your life back on track. My approach to helping others is very practical and casual.

Hello! My name is Matthew Dean and I am a Resident in Counseling. I am excited to tenderly explore your story with curiosity as you seek growth and healing. I have experience working with people who want help with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ issues, and faith-based counseling. In a therapy session there is room for everything you are feeling. Through awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and bodies, change can begin to occur. I believe the therapeutic relationship of the counselor/client is uniquely suited to facilitate that change.

Maria offers a warm, compassionate, person-centered approach. Maria focuses on client collaboration, working with clients to help navigate healing and growth processes, supporting positive changes to live a gratifying and abundant life. Maria’s interests are in providing care to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, personal exploration, grief and loss, and trauma. Maria emphasizes a holistic, self-compassionate perspective to achieve acceptance and fulfillment.

I believe that as human beings, our being matters more than our doing. I help people foster peace with themselves apart from anything they could ever accomplish or do. I also believe that we are all made to be in relationship with one another. Relationships are where we learn love, comfort, encouragement, joy, and hope. Alternately, they are also where we experience pain, abuse, abandonment, and rejection. It is my desire that my clients are able to reflect on the pain of their past with peace and hope and are able to have healthy and joy-filled relationships with others.

As a teen therapist I support anxious, highly sensitive adolescents move from a space of worried and unsure to a place of calm and confident. Imagine your child woke up and felt confident, peaceful and just “okay” in their own skin. When she was younger, you never had to worry about her. Now you're worrying all the time. She’s her harshest critic and never seems to think she’s good enough. Maybe you’ve seen friendships change or grades drop and you want so desperately to just understand - to help. Adolescence can already feel challenging, throw in anxiety and it can feel down right debilitating.

Are you experiencing feelings of hopelessness, shame and guilt? Struggling with anxiety and depressive symptoms associated with life's circumstances? Do you want a new start and need support without being judged by your past? Having an innate passion for people, I believe that your best self develops after experiencing life's challenges. I will meet you where you are, and from a Christian perspective if requested, will provide you with the tools necessary to find your purpose from the power within you.

You really are the most important person in your life! Finding a therapist that’s a good fit is half the challenge and I am committed to creating that space for you to be yourself, share your truth and continue your process of growth. It’s about facing challenges together. I’m not here to make you change BUT I will set the stage for you to grow and develop your strengths. Let me guide you in bringing out your inner BADASS, respectfully.

Professionally, I approach counseling as an ally and assistant to my clients throughout their counseling journey. I believe "change" is defined by the individual and that everyone has the potential to grow when empowered to do so. We all experience some form of stress, grief, hopelessness, or fear, and the idea that we must shoulder the weight of these emotions alone is counterintuitive to who we are as humans. My goal is to provide you with strong support and tools to manage whatever struggles you may be working through at your own pace.
