Anxiety, stress, and addiction can make every day feel like a battle you're fighting alone. I'm Myra, an LPC and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner in Virginia. I meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you build a path toward what you actually want. Let's start talking.
I take a person-centered approach because real change starts with being heard. In our sessions, we'll figure out what matters most to you and work toward those goals in ways that fit your life. I draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to examine the thought patterns that feed anxiety and keep old habits in place. Whether we're working through stress, exploring what's driving substance use, or untangling relationship patterns, I keep things simple, practical, and sometimes a little lighthearted. You set the pace.
Your first session is really just a conversation. I'll ask what brings you in and what you'd like your life to look like on the other side of this work. You don't have to have everything figured out before we start. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of what we're going to focus on together, and you should leave feeling a little less alone with whatever you've been carrying.
