Therapist

Virtual • Charlottesville, VA


I hope to help you transform those painful, self-limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bilateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move clients very quickly towards the core healing, which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem-solving techniques. This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Richmond

Finding family therapists in Richmond starts with looking for someone trained to work with the family as a relational system, not only with one person. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and training that match what your family is navigating, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or experience with parent-child relationships.

Richmond offers a range of local options, and virtual appointments can add more flexibility if travel, school schedules, or work hours shape when family members can meet. Family therapy may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on the goals for care. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, communication style, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

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. Headway helps you find family therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and often display current availability, so you can compare bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
