Hi, I’m Emileigh! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the mental health field since 2018 with children, teens, and adults of all genders, backgrounds, and identities. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University, and I have also served as a Clinical Director and supervised counseling interns. I believe strongly in dignity, cultural humility, and creating a practice where people from all backgrounds and identities feel valued and understood; outside of work, I love coffee, sunshine, the beach, dancing, and spending time with family and friends.
I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
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.
Hi there! I'm Courtney Goolsby, an LPC in the state of Virginia. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years and truly love assisting in the creation of change. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and communication challenges.
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
I am a client-centered therapist who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges, using a collaborative and supportive approach to foster growth and resilience.
I have a wide range of experience in various clinical and therapeutic settings. I specialize in working with children and adults with depression/anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, serious mental illness, lgbtq+, crisis intervention, intellectual and developmental disabilities (including Autism Spectrum Disorders), as well as traumatic brain injuries. I primarily enjoy working best with youth or adults in individual therapy sessions. I am NOT currently accepting any new COUPLE THERAPY clients at this time.
I help couples build deeper connections and enhance eroticism in their lives. I studied to obtain my Certification in Sex Therapy from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. My work focuses on a number of sexual health and mental health issues, including desire discrepancies, physical concerns that limit one's ability to enjoy preferred sexual activities, erotic recovery after infidelity and/or trauma, establishment of monogamy agreements, kink-affirming care and assistance to co-create polyamorous relationship agreements. I also see clients for more generalist concerns including anxiety, depression, the general stress of living in the world today. Some of the concerns I help couples and poly folks with include: communication difficulties and strategies for interpersonal effectiveness in relationship, including coaching on scripted communication strategies; enhancement of desire, play and eroticism; recovery from infidelity; integration of kink/poly dynamics.
It takes incredible courage to pause and ask for support, and I am so glad you are here.
Hi, I'm Brooke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that works with multiple areas of treatment including anxiety, cultural norms, PTSD, and maternal issues with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I view therapy as a sacred, gentle space where you can step out of the daily noise, set down the burdens that are draining your emotional energy, and reconnect with your true self.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Virginia Beach
Searching for postpartum therapists in Virginia Beach starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a pregnancy therapist or counselor for pregnancy before or after delivery. As you review profiles, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or a PMH-C credential, which can signal specialized training in postpartum support.
Virginia Beach offers a range of local options, and the right fit may depend on both specialty and logistics. New parents may need flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, or appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. In-person care may be a good fit if you prefer an office setting, while virtual therapy can expand access to postpartum depression therapists near you when travel is harder. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy 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 make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book, so you can find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers the support you’re looking for.
