Sakura Pate

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.4 mi away • Richmond, VA


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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.2 mi away • North Chesterfield, VA


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 with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.

Dr. Joseph Warren, II

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I believe therapy can transform your beliefs, feelings, and relationships with the right support. It offers deeper self-understanding, stronger relationships, and greater overall well-being; often, the strength and resilience that come from working through pain are the most lasting gifts of the process.

I bring compassion, generosity, hope, humor, and a spiritual perspective to our work together. My goal is to create a space where fear has no room to grow, and sharing feels natural, because seeking therapy is already an act of courage, and I celebrate that in every session.

My approach is built on honesty, self-discovery, empowerment, and accountability. Together, we'll work to shift your perspective and bring more relief and freedom into your life.

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Richmond

Finding couples therapists in Richmond starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling in Richmond may support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.

Richmond offers a range of in-person and virtual couples therapy options, which can help you find a therapist who works for both partners’ schedules. You may prefer an office near your neighborhood, workplace, or school, or virtual sessions that make it easier to meet from separate locations. As you compare Richmond couples counseling options, check appointment availability, session structure, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation to assess fit for couples specifically. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist works with partners and what to expect in a first session.

Couples therapy in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for Richmond couples therapy, filter by preferences, review therapist bios, and book directly with a therapist who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
