Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Vienna, VA

My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.

Hello! I’m Kody, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I work with adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and who want help navigating stress, life transitions, or relationship struggles. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Through a collaborative approach, I offer honest feedback, encouragement, and support as we work toward your goals.

Over eleven years I have worked with a wide range of clients, which means very little of what you bring will be unfamiliar to me. Maybe you are managing anxiety that puts you in fight or flight, a low mood that will not lift, the demands of ADHD, or a health condition that has quietly reshaped your life. Whatever brings you here, I start from what is already working

in your life rather than from what is broken. You do not need the right words or a clear diagnosis to begin. If that sounds like the support you are looking for, I would be glad to hear from you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, and families.

I work with relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, maternal mental health, and life transitions.

My training includes EMDR, DBT, the Gottman Method, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Si estás cargando algo que se siente demasiado pesado para seguir llevando solo, o simplemente buscas un espacio donde puedas hablar con honestidad sin ser juzgado, puedo ayudarte. Mi camino hacia la terapia nació de una profunda curiosidad por la resiliencia humana y del deseo genuino de acompañar a las personas en sus momentos más difíciles. Durante mi formación de posgrado trabajé con sobrevivientes de trauma, una experiencia que me mostró el poder transformador de la terapia y que fortaleció mi compromiso de caminar junto a otros en sus procesos de sanación. Soy LMHC con mas de 20 años ofreciendo terapia.

Thank you for reaching out for assistance. I have been providing mental health interventions and support for 36 years as an LCSW. I have also been credentialed as a trauma and ICU nurse and very early on in my professional life I was a special education teacher and received a masters in education as well.

My first few decades in practice was dedicated to the care and treatment of children 4 -12 years of age and adolescents 13 to 18 many who had been adjudicated for protection. Because of my nursing background and work in oncology I also have experience in providing supportive care for loss and grief issues as well as education and support for chronic illness, and post trauma care.

I have in the past 15 years began to work also with adults. I am licensed in EMDR interventions for PTSD both acute and chronic post trauma effects.

Because of my medical background i try and include a holistic approach to understanding both the physical and psychological issues my clients may be experiencing .

Hello! I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique experiences and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices, trauma-informed care, and years of experience helping individuals navigate mental health concerns, substance use challenges, life transitions, and emotional difficulties. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and feel empowered to create lasting growth and healing
