Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Abingdon, VA

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. I use an evidence-based, collaborative approach including DBT and somatic-informed methods. I work exclusively via tele-health and am licensed in Virginia. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and can build the skills to live more fully.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in relationship patterns, or trying to make sense of experiences that have shaped you, therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and create meaningful change. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia with a PsyD in clinical psychology, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. I specialize in helping people understand patterns that may have developed as ways of coping but are no longer serving them.

I believe you shouldn’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. My experience across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings has given me a broad perspective on care and the ability to meet people where they are. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, processing past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s happening and identify meaningful ways forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood while also feeling supported and gently challenged to grow. If you’re looking for a therapist who will take the time to understand the bigger picture, not just your symptoms, I’d be glad to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

With over a decade of experience, I am dedicated to helping adults find peace, clarity, and emotional balance. I take a holistic, person-centered approach, combining clinical expertise with genuine compassion to support my clients' journey to restoration. I have extensive experience in mental health, correctional healthcare, and community psychiatry.

As a therapist, I believe in your story and your individual experience. A space that is safe, comfortable, & free of judgement is essential for your success. It is important that you are in control of your own therapeutic experience, and I believe my role as a therapist is to serve as a guide & emotional support for you through your own journey. To provide a more authentic process and promote psycho-education, I aim to actively engage with you through discussions and person-centered support. “Pain is real, but so is hope”, and that is the main goal of my therapeutic approach: instill hope.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, or a major life transition, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

I'm Sorlyz, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Therapist with over eight years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults. My background includes extensive work with individuals who have experienced severe trauma, as well as first-generation and Spanish-speaking clients navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and life's many demands. This experience allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs.

Together, we'll build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

For the past 35 years I have helped clients work through troubling life situations. Throughout my career I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients from every walk of life. I have treated people struggling with a wide range of problems; depression, anxiety, marital difficulties, infidelity, loss of a job, domestic violence, PTSD or other life altering circumstances. Your past does NOT equal your future. Who you can become is not defined by who you have been, who you think you are now, or by what experiences that may have impacted your life to this point. My role is to challenge and empower you to transform your life, helping you to change your patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may not work or don't support you to attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing.

My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, guiding you toward resilience and lasting change. Whether you're facing PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to support your journey to well-being.
