Therapists in Virginia Beach, VA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of counseling experience. I specialize in individual, family, couples therapy helping clients heal from past traumas and addictions while achieving a positive sense of self identity. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an organic experience. Each of us walks our own path/journey and that no two are alike. I work from a holistic approach to develop the best course of treatment for your personal needs. I strive to assist and help aid the healing process through a compassionate, non-judgemental, strength-based, person- centered approach.

Are you motivated to see change? Are you tired of the past ruling your life? Do want to stop barely making it? Relationships unfulfilling? Need a answer/diagnosis for what you experience? My clinical work integrates psychology, theology, and spirituality. I consider my counseling to be a ministry first. However, treatments will also include empirically based techniques and skill-building. I am a Level 1 and Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I also work with Trauma Focused Couples Counseling, Grief Therapy, and Dysfunctional family issues. I serve both Georgia and Virginia via video/phone sessions only.

Together we will explore emotions and thoughts, gently nudging toward self-discovery, uncover patterns and building effective coping skills and gain valuable insights!

Are you struggling with the relationships in your life? Do you find that you are struggling with the need to be accepted by others? Do you fail to live up to your own personal values or even know what they are? If these issues continue to plague your relationships and continue to have a a significant impact on your functioning, then maybe it’s time to talk. I work with those who struggle with depressive symptoms, anxiety and loss, anger and aggression, trauma including physical and sexual abuse. I see couples, those with self-esteem and self-worth issues and those who struggle with family issues.

Hello! Are you having a difficult time in life right now? Are your relationships struggling, are you struggling to maintain overall? I can help you overcome this and more, by providing therapy to suit your needs. My approach to therapy is a collaborative one, where I will work with you as an individual, family, or couple to reach your personal or relationship goals. Culturally speaking, as a Black American, I am most sensitive to the issues that are specific to Black people; particularly focusing on how to build stronger families in the Black community and how to cope with the stressors of our daily life experiences.

Rachel Townes, MA, LPC, ACS, CCTP. Counseling is building relationships that produce strength based behaviors for healing and recovery. My preferred modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and other therapies for addictions counseling, trauma-informed care, and family relational matters. I have an extensive experience in addressing matters of addiction, familial discord, trauma, serious mental illness, crisis intervention, and life stage conflicts.

I have enjoyed a breath of experience in working with children, adolescents, their family and caregivers to maintain individuals in their communities and prosper in positive relationships. I aspire to assist clients who are motivated and desire to connect with others by expanding on communication skills, engaging in interactive modalities to explore skills, and facilitating development of appropriate family dynamics.

Welcome! My name is Donna Adams and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia with over 31 years of experience. I work with all ages, races and genders. I work with people who find the need to have assistance with regulating their world so that they are able to focus and balance themselves on a daily basis. My areas of focus include ADHD, anger management, behavioral issues, family conflict, and relationship issues. I work with each person on their level, and I do not assume that a certain therapeutic concept will work for anyone.

Every human being at times experiences sadness, anxiety, anger, shame, fear, hopelessness, guilt, uncertainty. But for some, their daily lives are significantly impacted. You may be struggling with your marriage, partnership, children, family, friends, employer, co-workers. Depression and anxiety may cause you to avoid doing the things that matter and/or to choose unhealthy ways of coping. Some struggle with anger issues that result in legal, relationship and/or employment problems. Others have experienced traumatic events as children and/or adults. While pain in life is inevitable, it does not have to take over our lives.

Are you experiencing relationship changes that you're ready to address head-on? Are you looking for new tools to challenge inherited patterns? My mission is simple: to empower my clients to thrive through adversity. My clients are often navigating significant life transitions, such as parenting/school challenges, career changes, or shifts in their relationships. They come from diverse or cross-cultural backgrounds and may be working through issues related to cultural identity or family conflicts. Additionally, some of my clients are working through intergenerational trauma and are committed to breaking unhealthy patterns.

Welcome! I have a passion for supporting neurodiverse individuals of all ages and families seeking acceptance and understanding. I have a personal connection to this journey as well. I am what some may call, 'neuro-spicy' myself. It is this unique blend of experience and expertise that sets me apart and allows me to truly connect with my clients on a profound level. Life can be tough, and sometimes, all we need is a little empathy, humor, and realism to navigate its complexities. That is where Shooting Star Counseling comes in!

My ideal client is someone who has experienced a deep and profound loss. I can provide a safe space to express emotions without judgment. I can empathize with your unique grief experience and validate your feelings. I can provide effective coping strategies to manage your grief and depression. This could include techniques for processing emotions, handling triggers, and finding moments of solace. My unique experience as a mother who has lost a child provides you with a profound understanding of your pain, making me a highly empathetic and relatable therapist.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we can get overwhelmed or lose our way. A therapist can be a strong support to help you achieve some balance, to improve mood, find relief from anxiety or depression, and to create healthier relationships (boy/girlfriend, spouse, family, coworkers, etc). We can also explore what it is you want out of life, and help you work to reach your goals. Sometimes we just need to clear negative thoughts and self-defeating beliefs that no longer serve us.

We help families, couples, and individuals who are struggling. We offer them help when they are working through personal struggles, marriage/couple difficulties, family concerns, the difficult teen years, emotional/behavioral issues, or other difficult life circumstances. This process can be scary and I commend you for starting it! We accept Anthem/BCBS, Optima, and Tricare. We are currently open to new clients!

Working 20 + years in the mental health field, I have always been passionate about helping clients reach their full potential and live healthy and satisfying lives.

I have been a psychotherapist for 30 plus years. Intially, I worked at The Menninger Foundation and later at Eastern Virginia Psychiatric Institute Adult Unit. I was an associate professor at EVMS in family therapy where I taught and coordinated training workshops for the Family Therapy Institute. In 1986, I joined the private practice of Clinical Associates. In 2012, my psychiatrist husband and I moved our location to Laskin Road. I am an Approved Supervisor in the American Association of Marital and Family Therapists and specialize in marital therapy, pre-marital counseling, divorce and conflict resolution in couples.

Life can get hard, no matter how old you are or how “great” you appear to have it. Navigating through daily stressors can take a toll on you, and make it hard to concentrate at work and(or) school, communicate with your family and friends, and do the things you usually love. These stressors can include relationship concerns, peer conflicts, parental conflicts/difficulties, continuing to make“bad” decisions; unresolved childhood concerns, un-fulfillment at work, or difficulties dealing with past trauma.
