Hi, I'm Jerrica Newsome, a licensed professional counselor and founder of LifeWell Psychotherapy. I provide trauma-focused treatment and specialize in working with women and the BIPOC community. Trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, with certifications in CCTP and DBT-C, my approach is shaped by my experiences with identity, life transitions, and parenting. I'm dedicated to helping you heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and achieve personal growth in a compassionate and supportive space.
We all encounter difficulty in life; it’s inevitable. Nowadays, we have the knowledge to know it takes more than physical health, or good nutrition to be well. In order to have a fulfilling life, we must take care of all aspects of our lives. At times, all we need is to lean into our own resources to cope. Other times we need a neutral person to place adequate tools in our path to help us move forward and thrive.
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.
I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
I apply a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. I recognize that by creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and to ultimately make lasting changes in their lives and relationships. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, OCD, narcissistic abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and relationship strain.
I have over 40 years of experience in mental health practice. I believe that we work together to help you be the best version of yourself. I am trauma therapy certified, anger management certified and work with teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma issues as well as Adult Children of Alcoholics. We are a team working together to help you improve your life situations

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hampton, VA
Searching for therapists in Hampton starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or major life changes. If you are looking for therapy in Hampton, VA, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking. Some therapists may offer cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, while others focus on specific life stages, identities, or concerns.
Hampton is a smaller city within the larger Hampton Roads area, so local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a Virginia-licensed therapist. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and experience with areas like relationship counseling, marriage counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Hampton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists in Hampton, compare bios, and find someone who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
