For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I am not here to judge you or tell you what to do. I am here to help motivate you and work on issues from a strength based focus. 

My first career was in fine art reproduction where I worked with art buyers and galleries on an international level. I had no idea that in 2015 I would change careers and become a therapist. Clients say that therapy with me feels like a simple conversation. Couples therapy is my favorite type of clients but I currently work with anyone over the age of 13 unless they are seen for family therapy. I have five kids myself and have seen the ugly side of divorce. My belief is that we are all one decision away from something better.

If you're hesitant to try therapy, I want you to know that taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. You deserve to feel your best; therapy can help you achieve that. It's understandable to feel intimidated by the idea of starting therapy, but the process can be incredibly empowering and transformative. In therapy, you can learn new skills, gain insights, and work through challenges that may hold you back from living the life you want. Imagine what it would feel like to have more energy, freedom, and peace in your daily life. It's not too good to be true - it's a real possibility with therapy. And the best part is, we'll go at your pace. You're in control of the process, and we'll work together to create a comfortable and safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. So if you're still on the fence about therapy, I encourage you to take that first step. You deserve to live a fulfilling and joyful life; therapy can help you.

Does it feel like there’s something wrong with you? Are you overwhelmed with daily life while it seems everyone else is getting along okay? Many people struggle with past trauma, anxiety, or high levels of stress that make it difficult to cope, let alone enjoy life. Often my clients find me when they’re at this point. They’re dealing with PTSD, feel trapped in the past, or have crushing depression and anxiety. I work with those in the LGBTQ+ community and others who need an accepting and supportive therapist. My ideal client is motivated to go on this journey with me.

Imago therapy is all about creating emotional safety for both partners. With safety being the goal of every session, couples learn immediately how to change their interaction with each other from one that might be volatile to a calm and structured way of communicating, deepening connection and empathy. Imago therapy is very different than traditional marriage counseling you may have tried that hasn't worked for you in the past as there is no blame or shame in the structure that Imago provides.

I am aware that considering seeking therapy is a big deal. Especially, if you grew up in an environment that told you to keep your problems to yourself or that it is viewed as a sign of weakness. Let us deconstruct those ideas that have not served us. We matter! As such we need to allow ourselves to be helped. I would tell someone that is hesitant in seeking therapy to give it a chance. At most, you will learn something about yourself that you did not realize before.

Welcome! My name is Kenia Rijo and I am the Founder of Mind, Body And You Therapeutic Services. I have over a decade of experience in clinical settings working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity and anxiety. I am fluent in Spanish which allows for one to be able to serve a large range of clients in their healing journey. In my work I believe it is important to work together to help you develop coping skills, reduce anxiety and stress, cultivate self-love and compassion, and find peace using a strengths-based and person-centered approach. But most importantly our relationship will center on building a better and healthier you as whole- in mind, body, and spirit. It can feel like life is happening too fast and you may feel like you need air to breathe. Together we can work on setting manageable and realistic goals. In the process of wanting more for yourself, you may miss all the small victories that are just as important. Let’s work together to allow you the space to become your authentic self.

I get it. It feels weird to open up to a stranger. But if you are thinking about therapy, that is your intuition talking—and it’s telling you that you need support. My advice is to listen to that gut feeling. It knows help is out there. Remember, you aren't signing a life contract; you're just having a conversation. I offer free 30-minute consultations specifically so you can "vibe check" me without any obligation. If we aren't a match, that's okay! But don't deny your intuition before you even try.

Hi, I’m Jenn. I'm a Resident in Counseling and the founder of The Mind Garden, a boutique, online-only practice in Virginia. I specialize in helping millennials who are exhausted from holding it all together. If you are the person everyone else relies on, but you feel like you have no one to lean on yourself, you are in the right place. If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the inability to say "no" without guilt, I can help you move from surviving your life to inhabiting it. My approach is warm, evidence-based (IFS & CBT), and entirely human-first.

Therapy can be an incredible way to prioritize yourself and your wellbeing. If you don't feel that the first therapist you try working with is a good fit, keep trying. It may take a couple attempts before you find a clinician that feels right.

Life can often feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you are here seeking support! We all have strengths and inner resources, but sometimes our ability to access them is clouded. Sometimes we believe an old, limiting story about who we are or how we are supposed to be. Sometimes we just feel stuck. Life can feel more difficult than expected - relationships can suffer, and connection can be elusive. I have the life experience and clinical training to help. In therapy, we can shift the focus toward creating our preferred story, allowing our authentic self to emerge. www.julianafriedmantherapy.com 

I am committed to helping people with challenges and difficulties they face in life. I seek to involve clients in a collaborative way in their treatment. I approach counseling in a manner that is respectful of cultural differences and demonstrates concern for your values & beliefs.

Se habla Espanol! I am trauma informed therapists that works with women's issues and family therapy. Depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors are common symptoms that my clients have struggled with; through the exploration of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors many clients experience personal growth and symptom relief. LGBTQ+ clients are welcome! It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy, but once you have made the decision; you have begun the process of change. Although therapy is an investment of time, energy and resources, the rewards can be great.

Therapy can be challenging and scary, but can also bring relief. Therapy is a space where clients set the pace and the agenda. It can be a place of learning, a place of self-expression, and/or a place of healing, among other things.

My name is Chris White and I have been practicing for 15 years. I work with motivated adults, couples that are stuck but not experiencing intense conflict, and mature and motivated teenagers with families that are willing to consider family therapy if recommended. An area of focus is folks interested in using Internal Family Systems to increase their ability to choose, harmonize their inner world, and increase their access to attributes such as compassion, curiosity and clarity.

Therapy is a scary experience, confiding in a stranger, sitting or viewing them on a screen, answering questions. Therapy is also a huge step in moving forward often times our friends/family listen, but the problem still remains. Therapy gives you the tools to find a solution, I don't judge, we all have stories, I feel honored when someone opens up to me and shares their story.
