I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.
I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.
I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.
Life can feel heavy when anxiety, stress, or family tension pile up and you are not sure where to start. I offer a safe, accepting space where you can slow down and be
truly heard. With years spent walking alongside clients through hard seasons, I help you build new habits that lead to real transformation and restoration. I am ready to walk this journey with you as you prioritize your mental health!
Hello, and welcome! I'm Sakura Pate, a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I became a social worker in 2013, supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges across community and behavioral health settings. After earning my Master of Social Work in 2023, I expanded my practice to provide individual and couples counseling, combining years of social work experience with evidence-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed care.
I work with adults and couples experiencing a variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, struggling in your relationships, processing past experiences, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I provide a collaborative space to explore what matters most to you. My approach is tailored to each individual, recognizing that every person's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I also provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care and am committed to creating an inclusive environment where every client feels respected, valued, and safe to show up as their authentic self.
I believe healing happens through connection, self-awareness, and compassion. Whether you're seeking support for a specific concern, personal growth, or greater fulfillment in your relationships, I'm honored to walk alongside you as you build resilience, strengthen meaningful connections, and create lasting, positive change.
I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.
I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.
My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.
Hi there! I am Dr. Godwin Oshegbo. I'm glad you stopped by our website and this forum to learn about me and our services.
I am a licensed clinical professional in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. In addition, I am a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) in Maryland, and a national certified counselor (NCC). I have over 20 years of professional and clinical work experience. I have extensive experience working in different clinical settings over the years. I have experience in helping individuals with substance use issues and disorders, anxiety, family conflicts, bipolar disorder, & depression, including issues of faith and spirituality in wellness.
I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.
If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much on your own, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you find steadier ground.
I'm Darryl Webster, a licensed therapist with 35 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's heavier seasons—including those caring for someone they love. My approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness—practical, evidence-based tools you can actually use, paired with a warm and unhurried space to be heard.
Together, we'll work at your pace to ease what's overwhelming you and help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Whatever you're facing, healing is possible, and I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
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 Virginia Beach
Finding couples therapists in Virginia Beach starts with naming what you want support with as a couple. Many people look for couples therapy for communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so review each profile for relevant experience. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
In Virginia Beach, the right fit also depends on what works for both partners. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier across two calendars. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, session format, and whether a brief phone consultation is offered. Reading a therapist’s bio can also show how they structure couples sessions, communicate with partners, and approach relationship counseling in Virginia Beach.
Marriage counseling in Virginia Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find couples therapy in Virginia Beach by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, may accept your insurance, and offer clear scheduling options, so you can review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
