I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I've been working in mental health for the past decade. I specialize in trauma, grief, anger, and communication.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
Hi! My name is Whitney McCoy and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia. I graduated from Radford University in 2020 with my MSW. I have worked in community mental health in numerous capacities since 2016.
Hi, I’m Johnathan, and I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to navigate life’s challenges and build on your strengths. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of mental health settings, including inpatient care, substance use treatment, school-based therapy, outpatient therapy, and with first responders. I am also trained in EMDR and have experience helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and other life difficulties. Whether you’re feeling stuck or seeking personal growth, my goal is to help you find healing, hope, and greater alignment in your life.
Hi, I’m Jody. I have a master’s degree in clinical social work and am a licensed clinical social worker. I’ve been working as a clinician for the past 8 years in a community outpatient mental health agency.
I specialize in substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I have a background in women’s mental health including relationships and parenting.
Hi there! I'm Courtney Goolsby, an LPC in the state of Virginia. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years and truly love assisting in the creation of change. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and communication challenges.
Life is hitting you hard right now and maybe you're stuck, feel alone, struggle accomplishing tasks, struggle with the way your mind works, or you feel like there's not much meaning in your life. I am Michael Sheffield and alongside obtaining Master's degree, I have been working with people for 4 years. My life and training lead me towards these challenges, my listed treatment areas, as well as self-judgement, relationship stress, pessimism, anger, life building, workaholism, & chronic pain.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been working with clients since 2021. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity — the big, tender stuff that often doesn't have an easy answer but always deserves a real conversation.
I work with adolescents and adults but to be honest, my door is open to anyone having a human experience. Which, is all of us.
My approach draws from Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness — but what that looks like in practice is less textbook and more tailored to you. Some people need tools and strategies. Some people just need to feel genuinely heard for the first time in a long time. Most people need both, and we figure that out together.
I show up as a real person. I'm warm, honest, occasionally funny, and always in your corner. You won't find me blank-faced or judgmental. You will find someone who is genuinely invested in your story and rooting for you, every step of the way.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in prioritizing our mental health. My goal is make therapy feel approachable, empowering, and warm. I will meet you where you are on your life journey and collaborate with you on meeting your goals.
I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I acknowledge that late-stage capitalism is an implicit factor in functioning. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping.
