I work with adults, couples, moms, and Black women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. As a mom myself, I understand the weight of balancing caregiving, relationships, work, and your own emotional well-being. I’m especially passionate about supporting Black women as they navigate the pressures of being “strong,” people-pleasing, and learning to prioritize themselves without guilt.
My practice is inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free. I proudly support LGBTQIA+ individuals, nontraditional and kink-positive relationships, and clients exploring intimacy and sexual wellness through sex therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself.
Many of the people I work with come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying things on their own for too long. It is a true privilege to sit with individuals during some of the most difficult and painful seasons of life. My hope is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, known, and valued. Through curiosity, compassion, and genuine connection, we can explore your story together, begin healing deep wounds, and move toward greater wholeness and freedom. I’m passionate about helping people make sense of their stories, heal from what has wounded them, and move toward a life that feels more whole and meaningful. Above all, I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported in the process.
We provide culturally-sensitive services tailored to the needs of every client. We specialize in providing individual counseling services to the Black community. Our clients are Black women and men seeking healthy relationships with themselves and others as they work towards building healthy families while healing from race related traumas.
I am an EMDR Trained LPC in Virginia with 7 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I am dedicated to collaborating with you on your transformative journey, fostering lasting change. The clients that I am best positioned to serve are those that seek counseling to process trauma, identify post-traumatic growth, develop effective coping strategies for anxiety and depression, and improve self-awareness and self-esteem that has declined due to relationship trauma. I am also passionate about helping clients build stronger relationships through healthy boundaries and assertive communication.
My name is Linda, I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). The cornerstone of our practice is about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services through a biopsychosocial approach. Our focus is to help individuals improve their mental health and quality of life, as well as to heal and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral, nonjudgmental, safe space, where your concerns are heard, and you are encouraged to be an active participant of your treatment plan.
My experience has given me the opportunity to work closely with adults, children/adolescents experiencing symptoms of ADHD, autism, ODD, ID, depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and OCD.
I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Virginia
Searching for therapists in Virginia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Virginia has a wide mix of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options can vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Virginia therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking for therapy in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, consider whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and scheduling options in one place.
The cost of mental health care in Virginia varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from appointments that fit your schedule. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Virginia, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you are ready.
