Gregg is a seasoned LCSW, CSAC and Board-Certified Diplomat with over 30 years of clinical practice experience as an Army Behavioral Health Officer and VA Mental Healthcare Provider.

I specialize in addictions and recovery services, child and family therapy, military adjustment and transition services, and persons experiencing complex trauma.

"I am adept with teens, young adults and veterans facing career transitions and the pressures of early adulthood."

I provide a safe, client-centered and nonjudgmental space where you can unpack stressful and difficult experiences and work toward desired goals and outcomes.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Treatment plans address the specific needs and objectives of clients, ensuring they receive individualized care.

In addition to individual therapy, I also lead group therapy sessions that foster a sense of community and mutual support among participants. These group sessions cover a range of topics, from coping strategies for PTSD to effective communication skills within families. By providing a collaborative environment, clients can share their experiences and learn from one another, promoting collective healing and growth.

Moreover, I am committed to continuous professional development and stay updated with the latest research and advancements in mental health care. This dedication ensures that clients receive the most effective and innovative treatments available. My goal is to empower individuals to achieve resilience and well-being, equipping them with the tools necessary for a fulfilling and balanced life.

Gregg is a retired Military and Veteran Health Care provider with extensive experience optimizing veteran care.

Virtual & in-person • Covington, VA


Hi, I’m Bethany Hagy, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about six years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in May 2021.

I work with clients ages 6 through adulthood, supporting a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, impulse control, relationship challenges, and life or career transitions. Whether you’re navigating something specific or just feeling stuck, I aim to meet you where you are.

At the core of my work is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. I strive to be a voice for those who feel like they don’t have one and a steady presence for those who need someone in their corner.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to make therapy as accessible and comfortable as possible.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience providing evidence-based mental health services to adolescents, adults, couples, families, and elite athletes. Help athletes in their mental skills and performance.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented, helping clients develop practical strategies to overcome challenges while building resilience and lasting emotional well-being.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Puerto Rico and have worked across outpatient mental health, crisis intervention, community behavioral health, and professional sports. I currently serve as a Mental Health Team Counselor with the Baltimore Orioles organization, where I support professional athletes in managing stress, anxiety, performance demands, life transitions, and overall psychological wellness.

My clinical experience includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment disorders, relationship concerns, grief and loss, stress management, self-esteem, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based interventions, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique goals and needs.

I believe that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped with the tools they need to thrive both personally and professionally.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Norfolk

Finding addiction therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that happen alongside addiction, like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction and approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a psychiatrist as part of their care team.

Norfolk has a range of therapy options, from local offices near downtown and Ghent to virtual appointments across Virginia. In a mid-size market, it can help to compare both in-person and virtual care so your options reflect your schedule, location, and preferences. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they describe their approach to addiction care, including whether they use a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed framework.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare therapists, review their bios, and find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
