Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Stafford, VA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-certified therapist, dedicated to providing a warm, empowering space for healing. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, I specialize in helping individuals reprocess trauma, build skills to manage emotional dysregulation, and develop a more positive mindset. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, guiding you toward resilience and lasting change. Whether you're facing PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to support your journey to well-being.

If you're an adult navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, substance use, burnout, or other challenges, and it feels like life doesn't leave room to sort it out, I'd like to help. I'm Dr. Cooke, a psychologist who works with people from a wide range of backgrounds, including active-duty service members, veterans, and dependents navigating demanding careers and environments. I earned my PhD in clinical psychology from Texas Tech, where I researched trauma, substance use, and the effects of head injuries, before finishing my training at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to understand what's happening and work with you to find a way forward that fits your life. Together, we identify what's getting in the way and build practical, evidence-based ways to address it.

As the founder of ArborLight Health & Wellness, PLLC, I provide virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults throughout Virginia experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood concerns, and women's mental health concerns.

I am a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with more than 26 years of healthcare experience. I bring both psychiatric and medical insight to treatment.

This background is especially valuable when mental health symptoms overlap with sleep concerns, medical conditions, stress, or hormonal changes such as perimenopause. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and evidence-based, with treatment tailored to your symptoms, health history, and individual needs.
