Hi, I'm DerShawn! I'm a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults across Virginia. I have experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with balancing life's many responsibilities. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful, lasting change.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself, your experiences, and the patterns that may be influencing your life today. Together, we'll approach this work with curiosity, compassion, and a pace that feels right for you. When appropriate, I integrate Brainspotting to help process experiences that may be difficult to put into words.
Our first session is an opportunity to create a space where you don't have to have all the answers. We'll explore what's bringing you to therapy, what's been weighing on you, and what you hope to gain from our work together. If you're feeling nervous or unsure, that's completely okay and understandable. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and supported, with greater clarity and hope for the journey ahead.
