Syreeta Dawkins

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


My approach is direct, compassionate, culturally aware, and deeply grounded in trauma-informed care. I help clients understand not just what they are feeling, but why their mind and body respond the way they do. A lot of people come to therapy feeling exhausted from surviving, overthinking, masking, people pleasing, or functioning on autopilot. Together, we work on building emotional safety, nervous system regulation, healthier relationships, self-awareness, and practical tools that actually work in real life.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, and helping high-capacity individuals who are successful externally but overwhelmed internally. My work integrates evidence-based practices, somatic awareness, attachment-focused interventions, and practical strategies that support both emotional wellness and everyday functioning.

Therapist

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, or a major life transition, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

I'm Sorlyz, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Therapist with over eight years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults. My background includes extensive work with individuals who have experienced severe trauma, as well as first-generation and Spanish-speaking clients navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and life's many demands. This experience allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs.

Together, we'll build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Tiana Welch

Tiana Welch

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Have you ever felt like you're accomplishing everything but still feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied? Do you give so much of yourself to others that little is left for you at the end of the day? Does your child's behaviors (fighting, defiance, truancy, argumentative) leave you wondering what's really going on beneath the surface. It just might be time to take a deeper look.

I’m Tiana Welch, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, providing telehealth therapy for children, teens, and young adult/adult women. With six years of experience, I have supported clients facing many challenges, including mental health concerns, behavioral issues, and substance abuse. My passion lies in helping children, teens, and families take a deeper look at behaviors to uncover the root causes, and in supporting young adult and adult women as they peel back the layers of perfectionism, burnout, and societal expectations to reconnect with their true selves.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy attending Pilates and spin classes, coloring, painting, reading, and exploring new creative hobbies like learning to sew (this month).

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Norfolk, VA

Searching for therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Norfolk has a range of therapy options, from local offices near neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, and Larchmont to virtual appointments across Virginia. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to find appointment times that fit. If you prefer meeting in person, location, commute time, and office availability may matter more. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
