Female Therapists in South Boston, VA

Seeking help is a tremendous act of courage. If you are looking for help to heal, cope, and thrive, there is hope. Over the past decade I have had the joy of seeing people recover from trauma, learn to manage anxiety, improve depression, and find a more satisfying life. Although therapists don’t have a magic wand, counseling can be lifechanging. Because it involves talking about personal or painful situations it is important that you have a counselor that you can grow to trust. Before scheduling an appointment I offer a free phone consultation to see if we are a good fit. We can discuss your goals and help you move to the next step
