Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.
Hello, I’m Glenda G. Momrelle-Clarke, LMHC-D, LPC, a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and Clinical Director of Soul Discovery Mental Health Counseling Services. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and leaders navigate life's challenges while fostering emotional wellness, personal growth, and meaningful change.
With experience in clinical practice, leadership development, education, and faith-based communities, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and emotional regulation. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and strengths-based interventions to support each client's unique needs.
I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop practical skills, and move toward the life they desire. Whether you are seeking support for personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or leadership-related stress, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater wellness and resilience.
Hello, I'm Annisha Dunaway. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I come to this work not only from training but from a lifetime of experience—as a veteran, military spouse, mother, daughter, and sister. I understand firsthand how challenging life can be—how deeply we all need support that is compassionate, judgment-free, and motivating. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to keep moving forward. Your story matters here, and I’m here to walk alongside you—no judgment, just honest, supportive partnership.
Feeling overwhelmed, lost, or unsure where to start? You've come to the right place.
With over 17 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings, I specialize in creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. Whether you arrive with specific goals in mind, need help identifying them, or simply need somewhere to exhale.
I work with children, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whatever brings you here, I bring deep clinical expertise, genuine compassion, and a commitment to helping you move toward the mental health and life you deserve.
In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.
We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

My name is Rachel, and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I received my associates degree in nursing from Blue Ridge Community College, and I received my bachelors and masters degrees in nursing from James Madison University. I received a post graduate certificate in psych mental health from Shenandoah University, and I am currently enrolled in classes to obtain my doctor of nursing practice degree from James Madison University. I have worked as a registered nurse in state psychiatric facilities since 2018, and I became a nurse practitioner in 2025.
Clients should know that I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can openly discuss their concerns. I understand that seeking mental health treatment can be difficult, and I strive to build trusting relationships through empathy, respect, and active listening.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe in treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to promote lasting wellness.
Clients can expect me to be compassionate, approachable, and dedicated to helping them navigate life's challenges while empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.
I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.
My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Charlottesville
Finding postpartum therapists in Charlottesville starts with knowing what kind of support matches your needs. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, sleep disruption, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or therapy for perinatal depression. Some therapists may also list specialized training, such as the perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal focused experience with pregnancy and postpartum care.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, local in-person options may be more limited than in a larger metro area. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Virginia and may be practical if your schedule changes often, you are managing infant care, or you are recovering physically. Beyond postpartum experience, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, who they work with, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on postpartum support in Virginia, and you can check each profile for insurance participation and view estimated costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
