Counseling for Young Adults

Life as a young adult is not always easy. Are you feeling stressed and no matter what you try, the stress just won’t seem to go away? Are you wondering if therapy is right for you? Being new to adulthood is a time of changes. At times the changes can just seem too overwhelming. From leaving school to starting a new program or job, change can be scary and difficult.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for young adults.

Sometimes previous things that you thought you had dealt with can come back to the surface. It’s not unusual to feel like friends and family just aren’t helping. Sometimes they feel like they are the problem. Therapy can be a great time of collaboration and trying new things. Changes in life can be fun and exciting and they can feel that way with the right therapist ally. Sometimes, it’s just helpful to have an unbiased ear willing to listen. I specialize in helping young adults going through life changes and hard times. Let’s band together to get you where you want to be. You don’t have to be alone in this, I want to help. Reach out if you have any questions or are ready to schedule an appointment.


Counseling for Adults

Have you been experiencing changes in your sleep or feeling fatigued? Do you feel restless, anxious or irritable? Do your finance or money problems feel insurmountable? Does your spouse or partner just not understand? Are you wondering if therapy is right for you? If you are, you are not alone. It’s not uncommon to notice changes like these.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for adults.

Maybe it has been gradual and you wake up one day and think, I am just not happy. Maybe something traumatic has happened and you can’t see your life ever getting back to normal. You may be thinking that there is no hope. But there is more to life than where you are at now. Life really can be happy and satisfying again. Therapy can help you get there. Talking with the right therapist can help you get over that impossible mountain. If you are looking for a collaborative and positive environment to help you through, you are in the right place. Not only can you feel better, you can achieve more than you ever thought possible with the right partner in therapy. Reaching out is that first step. I am here if you have any questions and when you are ready to schedule that first appointment.


Counseling for Teens

Is your teen struggling with anxiety, depression or substance abuse? Are their grades falling? Are they suffering from extreme mood swings or volatile temper? Do they have the tendency to overreact to situations? How do you know if your child needs therapy? Whether your teen is dealing with normal teenage stress or you are worried about a more serious mental health problem, you are not alone in this.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for teens.

Being a teenager is difficult. Teens are walking a line between being a child, yet trying to emerge as an adult. This natural drive for independence can be stressful for the entire household. Therapy can help adolescents in this transitional time. Having a confidant, a non-judging and wise adult ear for your teen to talk to, may be just what he/she/they need. You want to help your child; therapy can be that help. With my guidance, your teen can not only start to feel better but can excel. Please reach out with any questions or if you are ready to schedule an appointment. I am here to help.


Online Counseling

Are you wondering if online therapy is effective? Does it really work? Are online counselors legit? Is it covered by my insurance? Online counseling is effective and it has comparable outcomes to traditional in-person therapy. Receiving therapy online is convenient and relaxed and in many cases it is a great alternative to traditional therapy.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for people of all ages.

Some people find online counseling to be more relaxed than in-person counseling, because you can hold your session wherever you feel most comfortable. Because of the laid-back nature, therapeutic results can even happen faster than in person counseling. Online therapy with Virginia Counseling is covered by your insurance.

Do you have questions if online counseling is right for you or are you ready to schedule an appointment? Reach out to me.

Anxiety

Think you may be spending too much time worrying? If stress and anxiety are getting in the way of your sleep, or keeping you from the relationships you want, you may be dealing with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can paralyze you, and keep you from doing things you have the skills to excel at. It can keep you from being the person you want to be, or the person you really are.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for anxiety.

Counseling for anxiety can help you to push through anxious moments and live your life with a sense of curiosity instead of worry. Reach out if you have any questions about anxiety counseling or are ready to schedule an appointment.

Depression

Feel sad or lonely throughout the day? Are you falling out of touch with activities and people you used to enjoy, or are you always in a bad mood? Depression can feel overwhelming, but with counseling you can find relief. Counseling for depression can help you to identify and remove the damaging thoughts that create and sustain depressive symptoms.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for depression.

Studies show that counseling is more effective in treating depression than medication alone. Reach out if you have any questions about counseling for depression or are ready to schedule an appointment.

Substance Issues

Thinking about cutting down on alcohol or drugs? Maybe you have gotten a DUI or had other legal messes sap your time and money, or maybe you’re starting to wonder if your recreational alcohol or drug use has become a problem. If you are having trouble with drugs or alcohol, please act now. It is only likely to get worse if untreated.

Counseling for substance abuse and addiction can give you the support you need and help you build a positive lifestyle that will keep you healthy. Reach out if you have any questions about getting help or are ready to schedule an appointment.

Relationships

Is your relationship leaving you feeling drained instead of energized? Relationships are one of the most important part of our lives. I can help you with fine-tuning your communication or interpersonal skills to help you build the relationship you want. If you’ve been told you’re overbearing, or if you sometimes feel like a doormat, you may benefit from talking with a counselor and working on communication skills.

Virginia Counseling offers in-person and online therapy for relationships.

Communication styles are fluid, and you can make changes with practice. If you are looking to bring the spark back to your relationship or decide if it is really where you want to be, you are in the right place. I am here to help. Reach out if you have any questions or are ready to schedule an appointment.
