We all encounter difficulty in life; it’s inevitable. Nowadays, we have the knowledge to know it takes more than physical health, or good nutrition to be well. In order to have a fulfilling life, we must take care of all aspects of our lives. At times, all we need is to lean into our own resources to cope. Other times we need a neutral person to place adequate tools in our path to help us move forward and thrive.
Hi, I'm Jerrica Newsome, a licensed professional counselor and founder of LifeWell Psychotherapy. I provide trauma-focused treatment and specialize in working with women and the BIPOC community. Trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, with certifications in CCTP and DBT-C, my approach is shaped by my experiences with identity, life transitions, and parenting. I'm dedicated to helping you heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and achieve personal growth in a compassionate and supportive space.
I believe that we are all a work in progress, including myself. I want therapy to feel safe, productive and supportive.
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Suffolk, VA
Searching for therapists in Suffolk starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Suffolk therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care.
In a smaller city like Suffolk, the number of local in-person options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can add more choice while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. Some people prefer an office setting, while others value the flexibility of virtual appointments. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultations, and how clearly their profile explains what to expect.
Therapy in Suffolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
