Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I wear many different hats and enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address low self esteem, communication, anxious thoughts, scattered mind, or boundary setting. I also enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with financial stress, career fulfillment and burnout, as I believe this is inextricable linked to mental health and wellbeing. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to support you.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and their families, as well as both younger and older adults individually. I enjoy working with clientele from diverse backgrounds and I strive to create a culturally sensitive, inclusive and affirming space.

Michelle is a licensed therapist experienced in trauma focused therapy approaches to clients 18+. Michelle has been working in the social work field in the Charlottesville area since 2015.

My name is Sara Dillon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I am licensed in Virginia and I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth. I have worked with kids and families for over a decade both in the school and in the private practice settings.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.

I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why they react the way they do. Whether you're carrying the weight of a specific traumatic experience or you've spent years feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why, you're not alone.

One of my favorite moments in therapy is when a client pauses and says, "That finally makes sense." Those moments are powerful because understanding the why behind your reactions is often the first step toward changing them. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and never judged as we work together to help you heal and move forward.

Please note: I only take self pay for couples therapy. My rate is $200.

Hello! I am an LPC in the Charlottesville area, with 8 plus years experience working with at-risk youth and and their families.

Life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, or the life we imagined. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, loneliness, or the weight of life’s many transitions. Therapy offers a place to slow down, be deeply heard, and gently reconnect with yourself. I believe healing begins in a caring, trusting relationship where you feel accepted just as you are. Together we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, discover new possibilities, and help you move toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.
