I’m glad that we’ve found each other. My name is Arianne and I've been partnering with individuals navigating the challenges and working towards the life each person hopes for themselves. When life feels like it is too much to handle, you might know what you need to do, but actually starting can feel scary. It's hard to move forward when you're stuck in negative thoughts. You understand your struggles and story better than anyone else and I am here to work alongside you to restore your calm.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Roanoke, VA


Do you feel overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted by life’s challenges? Are those challenges affecting your day-to-day life? Do you think you “should” be happy but can’t figure out why you’re not? These are all normal thoughts and feelings and navigating them shouldn’t be so hard! Processing the struggles and transitions we face with a professional can help. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a life transition or changing a pattern that is keeping you stuck.

Christina Schultz

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Virginia


My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.

Renata Creech

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Haymarket, VA


You may be someone who usually handles things well. You are responsible, capable, and used to figuring things out—but relationships can bring up reactions that are much harder to manage.

I work with adults who find themselves overthinking conversations, struggling with boundaries, questioning their decisions, repeating painful relationship patterns, or feeling stuck between what they want and what others expect from them.

With over 10 years of experience, I offer a warm, direct, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I will listen carefully, but I will also ask questions, notice patterns, and help you understand what keeps getting in the way of the relationships and life you want.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
