I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 7 years working in behavioral health, offering personalized care through telehealth for adults and teens. I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood changes, and life stressors with a strengths-based approach, focusing on both symptom relief and personal growth.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth and compassionate style. I believe that healing begins with feeling seen and understood. I specialize in post traumatic stress disorder.
When life gives you lemons...
My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.
In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.
Learning to love the desert
I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.
There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
I'm Catie Eager, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician practicing virtually in New Jersey, Washington D.C., and Virginia. I founded Lotus Mental Health Counseling to fill a gap I kept seeing: brilliant, capable people destroyed by relationships that quietly dismantled their sense of self.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Virginia Beach, VA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Virginia Beach starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and relevant to your needs. You may be looking for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to address in care.
Virginia Beach has a mix of local practices and virtual therapy options, which can help broaden your search for affirming care. If nearby appointment times are limited or you prefer a wider range of choices, virtual sessions can make it easier to find therapists in Virginia who focus on LGBTQIA+ support. Beyond specialty, consider availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, communication, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins.
