Hey! I'm Brendan (he/they), a licensed professional counselor, living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I will be offering in person appointments starting in August. My goal, in every session, is to help you reach a point of empowerment and acceptance with yourself through compassionate and playful work together. You are the expert on you, I will follow and walk along this path with you. I want to help you better understand yourself and how you wish to be. Through understanding there is compassion, through compassion there is liberation. Tsi-Ya (ᏥᏯ) means "otter" in the Cherokee Language. In life we may feel our emotions and stress in such profound ways we struggle to tread water and may find ourselves drowning and overwhelmed. Like otters, we must learn to float.

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.
I work mainly with college-aged individuals, and specialize in working with individuals from adolescence to early adulthood who struggle with feeling that they are too much or not enough, who have been affected by trauma, and around issues relating to identity, attachment, grief, dysregulated emotions, self-esteem, and relational conflicts.

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