Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile, and congratulations on taking the first steps in trying to find the right therapist for you! Should you choose to work with me you'll learn plenty more about me, but to hit the highlights: I spent the first half of my career and vocational life working in non-profit management and fundraising before becoming a therapist. I'm divorced and have 50/50 custody with my co-parent of our two delightful children (11 & 13). I love nature, soccer, and cooking!
I work with couples and individuals 21+, and have a particular interest and passion in working with folks (whether individually or as a couple, friends, or members of a family) suffering from CPTSD, complicated grief, and significant attachment and developmental trauma.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. Currently, I provide individual and family therapy services to teenagers and adults experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, as well as with LBGTQ+ and trans/gender non-conforming (TGNC) folks seeking supportive and affirming care.
Hello, and welcome! I'm Sakura Pate, a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I became a social worker in 2013, supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges across community and behavioral health settings. After earning my Master of Social Work in 2023, I expanded my practice to provide individual and couples counseling, combining years of social work experience with evidence-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed care.
I work with adults and couples experiencing a variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, struggling in your relationships, processing past experiences, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I provide a collaborative space to explore what matters most to you. My approach is tailored to each individual, recognizing that every person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I also provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care and am committed to creating an inclusive environment where every client feels respected, valued, and safe to show up as their authentic self.
I believe healing happens through connection, self-awareness, and compassion. Whether you're seeking support for a specific concern, personal growth, or greater fulfillment in your relationships, I'm honored to walk alongside you as you build resilience, strengthen meaningful connections, and create lasting, positive change.
I work with individuals who are navigating stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and past experiences that continue to impact the present. I work with motivated individuals who are balancing a lot and want to feel more grounded and fulfilled.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond
Searching for therapists in Richmond starts with finding someone whose experience matches the care you’re looking for. People seek therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists in Richmond, VA, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist’s profile can help you see whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and whether their background fits your needs.
Richmond offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like the Fan District, Jackson Ward, Church Hill, and nearby areas. For some people, an in-person office close to work, school, or home may make appointments easier to keep. Others may prefer virtual therapy in Richmond, VA, especially if scheduling around commute time, caregiving, or a busy calendar. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what sessions may feel like.
Therapy in Richmond 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 starting care. Headway helps you find Richmond therapy options by showing therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are verified. You can browse therapists, review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
