Hi, I’m Meghan Rise- a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience in mental health care. I hold a master’s degree in psychiatric mental health nursing and am also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP). My practice focuses on supporting adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, mood disorders, and life transitions. I offer care virtually to meet clients where they are in their wellness journey, and also available in-person by request.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist, licensed in Virginia and North Carolina. I specialize in supporting women navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. My background includes years of experience in community mental health, crisis counseling, and private practice, giving me a wide perspective on the challenges people face. Many of my clients come to me during seasons of change, adjusting to motherhood, coping with loss, or redefining their identity after difficult experiences.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from University of Maryland University College, a Master of Science Degree in Marriage & Family Counseling Therapy and a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University.
I specialize in working with couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, trust issues, infidelity, intimacy concerns, life transitions, and relationship distress. I work with couples of all backgrounds and identities and provide an LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive environment.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel supported, but also challenged to grow. I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard and understood while also encouraging honest reflection, personal accountability, and meaningful change. My goal is to help couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier ways of relating to one another.
Please note that I offer couples therapy on a self-pay basis only. Insurance companies generally reimburse services that are tied to an individual's mental health diagnosis and do not typically cover relationship or couples counseling. My fee for couples therapy is $150 per session.
I specialize in working with individuals in the counseling and mental health professions, including clinical counseling students, doctoral learners, professional supervisors, consultants, and educators.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Richmond, Virginia, specializing in treating PTSD and dissociation with adults and adolescents (14+).

Whether it’s you or a loved one going through ongoing struggles, please know that you are not alone, and I am here to offer my support and compassion.

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.

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.

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.
