Therapists in Lynchburg, VA

I've been in the counseling field since 2008 and work with many different needs including complex trauma, attachment, relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and maternal mental health needs. It's an honor to collaborate with my clients to care for the deep and tender places in their lives.

Hi, I'm Cara and I've been practicing mental health since 2010. It wasn't until I gave birth in 2021 that I realized a real need for counselors trained in all things postpartum. Postpartum issues can range from depression and anxiety to Bipolar disorder, grief, OCD, PTSD, and psychosis. They can also be present in someone other than the one who gave birth! Partners, close social supports, adoptive parents, and even birthing professionals can experience these issues. With the right treatment things can get better! If you're experiencing any issues listed above, regardless of parental status I'd love to help.

I think the first thing someone seeking help needs to release is a sense of wrongness - "I let this happen," "I'm no good," "If only I had..." These are all normal, human responses, but they are also hurtful and create a false sense of self. The reason I became a counselor was to help those individuals carrying around guilt and shame. It affects everything - your relationships, your work, everything! I want everyone to thrive and live their fullest life. Being able to see yourself clearly, not for what you've done or did not do, is a powerful healing agent.

Imagine a space where you feel heard, seen, and safe. A place to unload all of your anxiety, stress, and fears. Therapy is meant to be a place to be wholly yourself and to explore the most difficult aspects of your life. My goal is to help you find solutions and to empower you to live life to the fullest. I seek to empower clients to take charge of their own stories in an environment that is confidential and comfortable.

I specialize in therapy for college students, young adults and women struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, motherhood/parenting, relationship issues, and interpersonal life skills. I also specialize in couples/marital counseling, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and trauma training with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I develop strong relationships with my clients and, together, we work towards finding their roadmaps in life, improving self-worth, identifying goals/objectives, reducing hard feelings and behaviors, and overall feeling better at managing daily life

I have worked with many children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2017. Conflict in relationships, issues in communication, adverse patterns of behavior, and many more have been successfully addressed through counseling. Life is a journey that includes a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk along side us for a time as we face challenges that come along. I would like to equip you with the tools you need to address these. As we work together, my objective is that you gain insight and understanding about your personal struggles and feel confident enough to face them autonomously.

I work with clients who come to counseling because they are ready to reflect, challenge and better understand themselves. I work with individuals who are experiencing life changes, family of origin issues, trauma, anxiety, mood dysregulation, wish to work on self esteem, work-life balance or finding life purpose. I have experience working with Multicultural/ Minority Groups, LGBTQ populations, non-religious and religious clients, therapists and medical related service professionals, women's related issues, and a number of other populations. My goal is to help clients end sessions with a greater sense of self awareness and insight.

I have had the opportunity of providing counseling to the Lynchburg and surrounding areas since 2017. Through helping individuals from 3 years to 89 years old, I have experience in assisting those as they navigate through the various stages of life. I believe in using a multi-faceted approach to therapy, as each individual is unique and allow the treatment to be client focused and not restricted for better client outcomes. While I am trained in a variety of mental health needs, I have the strongest proficiency in assisting those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, behavioral issues, and relationship conflicts.

I love to help others feel comfortable in sharing their stories without guilt and shame. I try to give an open space for clients to share what they are looking for during counseling and specific outcomes they would like to achieve. One of my goals is to help clients take time to become aware of their thoughts and feelings amid demanding work, school, and personal schedules. I am passionate about helping other's slow down in the midst of our hurried world and engage in practices that increase awareness of ourselves and of God within our story.

The decision to begin therapy can take a great deal of vulnerability and courage. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and other personal experiences with someone unfamiliar can be difficult and it's important to work with a counselor who allows you to be completely authentic as you begin your journey of personal growth and healing. I take pride in providing a safe, judgement-free environment for each individual I work with in order to help them meet their fullest potential.

The goal of every client who comes to treatment is to resolve the existing crisis or trauma, manage anxiety, reduce depressive and other symptoms, and return to a state of being that better reflects their optimal functioning. Clients who come to therapy are arguably the best suited to tell us what their needs are and where the gap exists between their needs and goals for their best life. Living with grief, loss, anxiety, PTSD, psych ache, relationship distress, trauma (including racial trauma), rejection, and mood disorders takes a toll, not only on everyday functioning but also on self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-care.

I believe that the relationships we have form our experiences and beliefs about ourselves and the world. In order to best serve the needs of each client, we need to look at the impact our social supports have had on us and adjust accordingly.

My goal as your therapist is to help you create a life worth living. While we cannot change your past, we can work together to create a better today and a brighter future. Regardless, of where you are in life or what your circumstances may be, I offer unconditional acceptance, so that you can feel safe to share your story without fear of judgment.
