I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist for 40 years. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many different types of people, including those navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, veterans’ issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I’ve worked in private practice, counseling centers, nursing homes, inpatient treatment, and equine therapy, which has given me broad experience supporting clients across many settings and stages of life.
Greetings! My name is Kara Stewart, I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in the state of Georgia and Virginia. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years and have a passion for assisting others with finding their sense of wholeness and fulfillment. I obtained a M.S. in Counseling and Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also have a M.S. in Mental Health and Wellness with an emphasis in Christian Ministry. I specialize in trauma, grief, life transitions, and other mood disorders.
Hi. My name is Monique Branch, a licensed therapist that provides a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and encouraged as you navigate life's challenges. Whether dealing with stress, relationship concerns, personal growth, or difficult seasons in life, my goal is to help you build healthier connections with yourself and others. I believe in meeting you where you are, offering compassion without judgement, and working together to create a meaningful change. To me, you are more than a client, you're a person whose story matters.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 50 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, churches, and organizations find help, healing, and hope. Dually trained in both clinical psychology and theology, I bring an integrated perspective to mental health care that honors the whole person. I earned my Psy.D. and M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University and have served in a variety of professional roles, including Director of Counseling Services at Focus on the Family and Vice President of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I have authored or co-authored ten books on marriage, mental health, recovery, and relational health, and have been in professional practice since 1977.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
Looking for a space where you don't have to pretend you're fine? My approach is warm, direct, and culturally aware, with a focus on getting to the root of what's draining you. We'll work together to build healthier patterns, better boundaries, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are and not who you're "supposed" to be.
I have a wide range of experience in various clinical and therapeutic settings. I specialize in working with children and adults with depression/anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, serious mental illness, lgbtq+, crisis intervention, intellectual and developmental disabilities (including Autism Spectrum Disorders), as well as traumatic brain injuries. I primarily enjoy working best with youth or adults in individual therapy sessions. I am NOT currently accepting any new COUPLE THERAPY clients at this time.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds things together for everyone else. I work with teens and adults who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are insightful and thoughtful people who want more than quick coping strategies — they want to understand themselves more deeply and experience real, lasting change.
Hi. I'm Kris Wegman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have decades of experience working with clients with various behavioral health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I have had the privilege of working with Veterans for most of my career but have worked on the Civilian side, too.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a broad clinical background in treating substance use disorders, mood disorders, trauma related disorders/experiences and co-occurring mental health conditions that may not fall so neatly into a diagnosis. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have most of my professional experience within forensic and outpatient settings.

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.
