Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to explore my page. My name is Patricia Clark, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a doctoral candidate in traumatology, and the founder of D.I.V.A. Counseling & Consulting. For more than 10 years, I have walked alongside individuals, couples, families, and organizations as they heal from the weight of what life has handed them. If you have been doing everything right on the outside, showing up, pushing through, holding it all together, but quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you have lost yourself somewhere along the way, you are not alone. What you are experiencing is common today.
Hello! I’m Kody, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I work with adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and who want help navigating stress, life transitions, or relationship struggles. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Through a collaborative approach, I offer honest feedback, encouragement, and support as we work toward your goals.
Hello, I’m Domonique Jackson, LCSW. I have a solo private practice, Full Connections Counseling LLC, in Orange Park, FL. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University in 2016. I’m currently a licensed social worker in Florida, Georgia, Virginia and South Carolina. I published my first book in 2024 about the positive potential connection between nerd culture and mental health. When I’m not volunteering with the local gaming community, I enjoy playing board games and video games, doing puzzles, gardening and watching anime.
Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.
Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.
Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.
As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I recognize that taking the first step toward seeking therapy can be difficult, which is why I want to help clients feel comfortable discussing some of life's most challenging topics. As I near the end of my education in Counseling Psychology, I have honed my experience in trauma-informed care. I have experience in working with individuals across the lifespan, but have focused my recent work with adults aged 18+ with extensive trauma and anxiety.
Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, detached, and overwhelmed by the demands of life, how to sustain healthy relationships, keep work-life balance, or simply find meaning in their daily lives. My hope is to guide you through the process, offering adaptable skills and insights along the way.
As a clinical psychologist, I believe in a whole-person approach to psychotherapy and hope to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and regain a sense of strength and purpose. Seeking help can be one of the hardest first steps, and the therapy room can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin to heal. Let's get this process started!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Charlottesville, VA
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.
