Hi there! I am Nathaniel "Nate" Alexander, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience. I am also a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in Virginia.

My name is Brittany Williams. I am an LPC in Virginia and I mostly use cognitive-behavioral therapy. I enjoy working with a wide range of people of all ages and conditions from kids to teenagers to adults to older adults, who are experiencing anything from depression to anxiety to life changes such as grief and loss or anything in between! I look forward to working with you! I have worked with clients of all ages but enjoy mostly working with kids and teenagers. I feel like they have a lot going on in life that is very difficult to navigate and can have a lot of depression and anxiety on top of everything else.

I help people overcome fear and sadness so they can have time for what matters most. I have found the most effective strategic tools which prove that change does not have to take years. With the right tools, any of us can make the change we desire. I teach you how to use tools from these proven treatment strategies so that you can spend time focusing on what matters to you. I work with all ages in additional areas of post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, low self-esteem, parenting, career transition, and life stressors.

You find yourself feeling stuck in unsatisfying and repetitive cycles. You want to feel happy, but deep down you feel insecure. You feel lost, but are unsure what it is you’re looking for. Whether you are struggling with relationships, anxiety, a major life transition, or self-esteem, you do not need to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can be the catalyst for healing and transformation to develop a more fulfilling life. I know the decision to reach out and seek help is a courageous and vulnerable one.

Ideally, our early experiences of connection were secure, safe, accessible, and responsive and we developed an internal sense of ourselves as loveable, worthy, and deserving of getting our needs met. But what happens when this has not been our experience? Many of us have had to find ways to adapt and survive moments of disconnect, invalidation, or criticism. This can often mean we hold beliefs about ourselves that are limiting, worry that we have to hide or minimize parts of who we are, deny certain emotions, hustle for our worth, and/or build up layers of protection. I can support you to heal, connect and create lasting change.

Currently accepting new clients! Connection and comfortability play a key role in the success of therapy. Finding a therapist who has expertise in addressing your specific concerns is essential! I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and autistic teens and adults, or those who think they may be neurodivergent. As a parent myself, I also enjoy working with parents of neurodivergent and/or high needs kids.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in helping adolescents, young adults, parents, and families. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and identities and provide care for a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, anger, identity exploration, relational issues, stress, and neurodivergence. My approach is eclectic and client-centered, with a strong focus on building a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of unconditional positive regard, empathy, authenticity, and collaboratively working with clients, not on them.

Hi! As a resident-in-counseling, I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, and grief/loss. I believe in our ability to grow and have a deeper awareness of ourselves and the people around us. One of the first steps for change in the counseling space is building a therapeutic relationship, and I aim for the counseling space to feel fluid and open to change.

I enjoy helping individuals in need. I have an eclectic approach but rely heavily on mindfulness and solution focused therapy. I am very straight forward in my approach, and focus on individuals, adolescents, adults couples. I specialize in teenagers and young adults.
