Female Therapists in Richmond, VA
Hello, my name is Tina Curran-Taylor, LPC. My favorite areas of practice include trauma, addictions, depression and anxiety including all the nuanced behaviors that can present within these categories. Many people have the misconception that you must dig relentlessly into the past to release the pain or the limiting beliefs and though the past informs our current approach to life, we only want to explore as much as it takes to release the chains.

Often difficult life experiences like pain, suffering, confusion, intense emotions, and things just not going right bring us to therapy. Sometimes it's our relationship with ourselves, or with significant others or family members that creates the pain point. It can also be a specific event (breakup, move, feeling left out socially) or a specific felt experience (sad, lonely, angry, scared). AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in receiving support. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

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.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.

Fortunately and unfortunately, there is no road map to our lives, and the unknown is both beautiful and terrifying. I work with you to create a version of a road map, a better understanding of yourself, goals, past experiences, insecurities and road blocks, in an effort to make you feel excited about the unknown rather than fearful. If you are seeking individual therapy the roadmap may include exploring unhealthy thought patterns, navigating loneliness or finding tools to tackle anxiety. If you and your partner are looking for support, the road map will help to identify points of conflict & strengthen communication skills.

As an experienced maternal and perinatal therapist, I believe that women are strong and deserve to be happy, and moms can find the balance they crave.
Being a mom leaves you feeling drained, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be burnt out from being the default parent, feeling numb and disconnected from your new baby, or finding you're not sure who you are anymore. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel balanced. You’re ready to feel confident. Whether you’re a new mom or further along on your parenting journey, you are ready to feel like yourself again.

Sometimes, people feel sad, unmotivated, worried, and anxious, and this can be very frustrating, mainly when it affects your focus and concentration and your ability to complete your day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. Anxiety makes you feel like you are falling off a cliff, and depression makes you feel like you have already fallen and are unable to move. Almost everyone feels anxious and depressed from time to time, and the key is to be able to manage your symptoms effectively.

You might be facing common challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. You hold a desire for growth but need a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself, receive validation and learn tools to manage your symptoms. Your goals may include reducing immediate distress, processing past traumas, increasing motivation and developing healthier coping skills. You want a place you can show up to feel heard and understood, with a therapist that you can laugh and cry with comfortably. More than anything, you want to walk out of sessions feeling lighter than you felt coming in.

Hello I am Laura Cahill! I am a passionate, energetic, and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a love for the art of engagement in the work of therapy. Do you feel like your emotions have taken over and pushed you out of the driver's seat in life? In life, we often experience challenges, unexpected stress and transitions, trauma, hurt, grief and loss. Understandably, we may struggle with powerful emotions that seem to almost overtake us. Part of the human experience is wanting to feel in control of our inner and outer lives. It’s time to step back from the battle-not by retreating, but by re-framing.
