I'm a licensed psychologist with over 21 years of experience. My clients are high-functioning, responsible people who've reached a point where pushing through doesn't work anymore. They need deeper understanding, not just more coping strategies. You might be here because you keep noticing the same relational patterns. Or you're navigating a major transition. Or family dynamics from decades ago are showing up in your current life. Maybe you've achieved external success but something feels misaligned. You want to understand the "why" behind your choices, not just learn to cope better.

Here's what I want you to know: You can have your shit together professionally and still need help personally. You can have your shit together personally and still need help professionally. Success in one area doesn't mean you've figured out all the others - that's part of us being human.

I have been married for 41 years and am a mother and grandmother. I have have an MSW degree and have been in private practice as a therapist for 27 years. I prefer serving adults and have a passion for individual and couples counseling.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.

As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.

In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.

I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

Hello! My name is Zachary! I am happy you visited my profile. Before you begin browsing, I just want to say you are strong and you have incredible power in you to journey towards healing. I believe in your success and your potential.

I received my Bachelor of Arts at Goshen College and my Master of Social Work at Andrews University. I am a LCSW in Indiana, LISW in Ohio, and a LSCSW in Kansas.

I have experience in care management and facilitation, providing counseling to juveniles on probation, delivering therapy to those who have been court ordered, doing home-based clinical services, implementing and administering Family Centered Treatment© to families, hospice social work, community mental health, certified clinical behavioral health clinics, conducting counseling to geriatric and SPMI populations, as well as telehealth.

I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop skills that you can use outside of our sessions rather than simply talking through problems week after week. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward the life they want to build.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, my goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing and feel supported as we work toward lasting change. I strive to balance compassion with directness, offering both validation and practical strategies to help you move forward in a way that aligns with your values.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over eight years of nursing experiencing, including more than six years in the intensive care. My experience caring for patients during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, along with my own journey with therapy and mental health treatment, inspired me to pursue a career in psychiatry.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I also enjoy helping children with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My goal is to create a compassionate, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If life feels heavy, overwhelming, or like you’ve been carrying too much on your own, you’re not alone. I work with teens (12+) and adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. In our work together, you’ll have a calm, supportive space where you can finally exhale, feel heard without judgment, and start making sense of what you’re going through. We’ll work together at your pace to help you feel more grounded, understood, and confident in your life.

I am seasoned therapist with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of clientele.
