As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I struggled feeling seen, heard, and as if I truly belonged. I realized at a young age people (of all ages) shared with me their vulnerable, intimate and personal stories. And as I listened and held space for their concerns, these story-tellers felt a sense of relief, seemed lighter and a smile spread across their face.

I began wondering why people do what they do. This led me to gain education, strategies and tools to understand human behavior and development, learn how to effectively hold space for another, and begin supporting others with empathy; allowing them to feel seen, heard, and belong.

In the process, I chose to become a stepmom. I learned first hand how hard it is to blend a family and co-parent. If no one gives the biological parents a manual upon the birth of their child, there really is nothing for steps. This experience has given me a desire to fill this gap; helping steps, bios, and the children navigate and build a more content settled home.

All you want is to quiet that voice that says you’re not “doing enough" or stop overthinking long enough to actually enjoy your life. You’re used to managing a lot, like school, work, relationships, or the many changes of motherhood. And even when things look good on the outside, it’s hard to shake the feeling of anxiety; if you relax, you'll start falling behind.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Dee Keller, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and board-approved supervisor in Virginia with over 12 years of experience helping women and young adults navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and big life changes.

Many of the women I work with are juggling so many plates, and while there is a lot that you can feel grateful for... it's exhausting and overwhelming, and very common to feel incredible doubt you aren't doing enough.

My work focuses on helping you feel seen and supported while finding ways to release the inner critic and anxiety. Whether you’re entering a new chapter (starting college, changing jobs, becoming a parent, or redefining your identity after kids), the therapy space we create together can be one of your tools to help prevent, reset, grow, or heal.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and figuring out where to begin can be the hardest part. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling to manage emotions, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, therapy can be a place to start. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, recognize your strengths, and build practical skills to help you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Reaching out for support isn't always easy, especially when you're used to handling everything on your own. You deserve a space where you can show up as yourself, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. I bring compassion, authenticity, and a little humor into our work together. When you're ready, I'd be glad to connect.

Sometimes just getting through the day can feel like a full-time job. Finding a mental health provider who truly understands you may seem out of reach, but it’s absolutely possible. Before anything else, I’m human. I’m also a woman, born overseas and shaped by the diversity of a Southern metropolitan city. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am passionate about partnering with patients as they move toward greater health, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to navigate it all alone. You can exhale- we’ll take it from here, together.

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.
