I’m Karina Smith, LCSW, founder of Bloom Haven Therapeutic Services❀. I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions related to relationships, career shifts, and family dynamics. I also support individuals experiencing the lasting impact of trauma or feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to break.
My work is grounded in EMDR, DBT-informed therapy, somatic approaches, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices. I’m also an advocate and serve on the PAIMI Council for Disability Rights Florida.
Anxiety, stress, and addiction can make every day feel like a battle you're fighting alone. I'm Myra, an LPC and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner in Virginia. I meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you build a path toward what you actually want. Let's start talking.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience in behavioral health and more than three years in clinical practice. I specialize in treating trauma, eating disorders, and identity-related stress through a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. As a Black woman therapist, I value holding space that honors the fullness of who you are—including your cultural identity, generational experiences, and lived realities. I bring a steady, compassionate presence and a deep respect for your autonomy and truth.
Welcome to Parts and Patterns Psychotherapy, PLCC. I have spent 5 years working with individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, intimate relationship conflict, complex trauma, life transitions, chronic anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, BPD, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, vocational stress, and more. My experience has taught me that while every person’s story is unique, our need for connection and agency is universal.
I hold a Master’s in Community Agency Counseling from Hampton University. Beyond my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing training in neurobiology and trauma-informed care. This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I look at how your nervous system is responding to the world around you.

Welcome! Since space is limited, let's hit the ground running! I have been a counselor since 2003 and am licensed in Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Prior to this, I worked as a respiratory therapist, so I am familiar with the stress medical personal face, as well as issues related to trauma, death and dying. In particular, I enjoy working with those who are struggling with existential questions or have suffered moral injury.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Searching for therapists in Virginia Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling can help you understand what sessions may focus on before you book.
Virginia Beach has therapy options across a range of neighborhoods, from the Oceanfront and Town Center to Kempsville and Great Neck. Your search may include therapists with nearby offices, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Consider practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
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. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept a range of insurance plans, may be accepting new clients, and can show upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, 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.
