Just relax, they said - and you want to, but don't even remember what that feels like! What if something goes wrong? It did that one time. You are not alone: many people spend their time dealing with thoughts and feelings that feel intrusive and time-consuming. If you are tired of feeling trapped inside your own head, there is hope. My passion is helping people get unstuck from thoughts and feelings related to past and present experiences including child and adult complex traumas, OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder), scrupulosity, and other anxiety and depression issues and into living life.
I want you to know that my heart is to walk with you. No matter what you are bringing into counseling with you, I desire to provide you with a safe space where you can be confident in knowing that you are seen, heard, and known.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
Welcome! I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges.
I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.
I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.
A lot of men arrive in therapy through anger, because it is often the only feeling they were ever given permission to have. If that is you, or if the anxiety has been running underneath everything for years, or if something happened to you that you have never said out loud, you are in the right place. I'm Dr. Justin D. Gravely-Strayhorn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master of Social Work from Campbellsville University and my Doctor of Education from Liberty University. I work with adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationships, and the particular weight men carry when they have been taught that handling it alone is the same thing as being strong. Culture is part of that conversation, not separate from it. What shaped you, what was expected of you, and what it costs to keep performing being fine all belong in the room. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with compassion, cultural awareness, and a holistic view of wellness. I believe growth happens when we feel seen, supported, and empowered to rewrite our stories.
Welcome to Headway! I am Zarinah, a Licensed Professional Counselor currently licensed in Virginia, Texas, and Iowa. I have fourteen years of professional counseling experience working across settings with a diverse population and wide range of presenting problems. My passion is helping clients adapt healthy ways to cope with stress and intense emotions related to family or relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma and many others stressors. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to guide clients towards awareness of how thoughts and feelings impact behaviors and can often lead to undesired outcomes.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lynchburg
Searching for therapists in Lynchburg starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists and counselors in Lynchburg, VA may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or faith-informed counseling.
In a smaller city like Lynchburg, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Virginia. Some people prefer in-person counseling near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like marriage counseling, Christian counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Lynchburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Lynchburg, review detailed bios, and book directly when you find a fit.
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.
