Welcome. My name is Joanna, and I am glad you are here.

Asking for help might be the one of the hardest things to do. It is also a courageous, healthy, and empowering act. It is the first step in deciding to take an active role in how you want to feel, show up, and achieve in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and currently see adult (18+) clients virtually. I specialize in anxiety and panic disorders, depression, family and parenting issues, trauma, and LGBTQIA needs. I am trained in EMDR and I utilize skills and interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, and supportive patient-centered approaches to meet your unique needs.

Aimee Dumaresq

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I am a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate the complexities of healing and self-discovery. With a background in supporting individuals within high-stress systems, I bring a deep understanding of how early life experiences and relational trauma shape our adult lives.

I specialize in working with clients to cultivate a healing relationship with themselves, fostering the resilience needed to break old patterns and navigate life transitions. My therapeutic approach is creative and holistic; I often incorporate art, nature, and somatic movement to help clients engage more fully with their internal experiences beyond traditional talk therapy.

Above all, I strive to provide a space where clients feel safe, seen, and heard. By establishing this foundation of trust, I empower individuals to gain the insight and self-awareness necessary to drive meaningful change on their unique healing journeys.

Outside of the office, I find my own balance through watercolor painting and am a self-proclaimed Swiftie.

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.
