Hi, I’m Michelle Gorden, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and reconnect with the best version of themselves.
My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties.
In addition to my clinical work, my diverse professional and personal background allows me to connect with clients from many walks of life. I believe therapy should feel supportive, empowering, and collaborative — a place where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment.
Hi,
I'm Shanda. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Human Development and veteran. After leaving the military and working for the government a while, I went back to school so I could serve in this field. It has turned out to be the most rewarding time of my life.
For the last 5 years, I've partnered with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, marital issues and more recently substance addiction to help them experience better-to reach their mental health goals.
Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.
I have a Ph.D. and 25+ years of experience working in mental health and related fields. My overall goal is to provide a trusting and caring environment where we will work to address some areas and seek healthier connections. I want to empower and provide you with tools to accomplish goals. In prior years, I have worked with youth in foster care and adoptions.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with certification as a clinical mental health counselor (CCMHC). I have worked in a variety of mental health settings including inpatient and outpatient programs. I opened my private practice in 2017.
I have advanced training in CBT, IFS, Existential-Humanistic, and trauma-informed therapies. I have received certification in REBT from the Albert Ellis Institute.
Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of
therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the
collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic
through various treatment options.
Being a therapist has consistently helped me find special compassion for those in need. I started my practice based on three core beliefs: growth, resilience, and empowerment. I believe that every person is worthy of success, happiness, and wellness. This often involves changing dysfunctional habits, reframing beliefs and the self and the world, and empowerment. All things are possible, but don't need to be accomplished alone!
Hi, I’m Tomeker, a nationally certified counselor and a licensed professional counselor with a natural desire to help and support those I work with. I function from the person centered approach, acknowledging the patients ability to problem solve. I have been trained in EMDR and evidenced based practices to treat PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
