Female Therapists in Springfield, VA

When the world feels like a storm, and you don’t have an umbrella, or raincoat, or even shelter. The anxiety or trauma is so intense, and the scars you carry are real. Yes, you feel the chaos, and you can’t see the solution within you. Each day requires all of your strength, and you’re still in “survival mode”- every struggle is a chapter, not the conclusion. You don’t want this to define you, but there are dark nights, despite the stars still shining. And though the path may seem daunting, you want to reach the end. You are seeking some rest, some peace, and (at the very least) a lifeline in your sea of emotions.

I specialize in working with adults and young women who have experienced traumatic events (childhood sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, physical abuse, car accidents, military trauma, etc) and are experiencing trauma symptoms. The traumatic event may also lead to emotional dysregulation, self harm behaviors, hospitalizations and/or a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, among many other disorders. I also have a passion for working with veterans of post 9/11 wars who have a diagnosis of PTSD. My goal is to help others find and achieve their "life worth living".

Hi, my name is Anel. I'm a licensed counselor in the state of Maryland and Virginia. I work with a variety of clients and specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, social anxiety, depression, have experienced trauma, who struggle with self-esteem, who need to process through relationship challenges, or have difficulty managing life stressors. My approach is proactive as I help you pace through your goals. I aim to understand the uniqueness of a person within their whole context in a non-judgmental and supportive manner.

Life and relationships sometimes offer inaccurate messages about who we are, what we deserve, and what is available to us. Where you have felt invalidated, shamed, limited, or unsafe, I want to help you rewrite your story. I am passionate about connection, communication, mind-body-soul healing, and guiding others into their light. I support individuals and teen families in identifying patterns such as over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shutting down, withdrawing, or focusing on tasks. As we explore the roots of these strategies, we can find new ways to relate, meet needs, build self-worth, and heal old hurts.

Are you pregnant and experiencing some anxiety related to being a Mom? Do you find yourself crying, feeling overwhelmed or wanting to be alone? Are you in a stage of life transition? Being a licensed mental health professional for 21 years, I specialize in helping women manage life transitions, postpartum depression, trauma, anxiety and grief. I also have extensive experience and training working with foster care and adoption issues. As a certified Prepare Enrich facilitator, I also assist premarital and married couples with assessing their strengths, opportunities for growth, and learning skills to strengthen their relationship.

Change is hard. Transition is hard. Life is hard. It can take unexpected turns. Nonjudgmental support and guidance can make a difference. Does having the right support to help you navigate your stressors sound like a relief? Gaining tools and setting goals to move through this season can help lift your outlook and your mood. We can get stuck. We subscribe to others expectations. We can operate with a negative filter. We can compare ourselves to others. We deserve more, we are more and together we can obtain more. I look forward to helping you shine through this tough season.

Couples seeking a deeper connection in their relationship with their partner need to learn how to speak about and listen to their partner's dreams, inner world, and viewpoint. Often couples feel a sense of disconnection and distance from their partner, who was once their friend and admirer. Couples also want to stop feeling stuck in the same cycles of arguing and miscommunication. They want to start resolving problems and work towards compromise with each other. They want their dreams to come true and create a sense of shared meaning together. If you have lost your partner's love map, I am here to help you find it.

I provide a trauma informed, safe, genuine, and compassionate environment where individuals can learn practical skills and tools to feel better. I use client-centered, trauma-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based therapies that have proven effective both in my own practice and in evidence-based research. Particular areas of strength and interest are LGBTQIA+ issues, religious trauma, gender fluidity and identity, childhood trauma, ADHD, and working with survivors of sexual abuse. My practice is committed to working with a diverse population and providing a safe and inclusive environment.
