Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I wear many different hats and enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address low self esteem, communication, anxious thoughts, scattered mind, or boundary setting. I also enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with financial stress, career fulfillment and burnout, as I believe this is inextricable linked to mental health and wellbeing. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to support you.
I have a passion for working with adolescents and their families, as well as both younger and older adults individually. I enjoy working with clientele from diverse backgrounds and I strive to create a culturally sensitive, inclusive and affirming space.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
I support individuals in building a bridge to a place within where they feel a deep sense of connection. I am a licensed professional counselor, and I have advanced training in somatic-based, emotion-focused therapy. I specialize in counseling adults who experience anxiety, depression, low self worth, and relationship challenges.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).
My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.
Hi, I'm Stefanie, and I'm so glad you're here! In my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you! Through my experiences, education, and advanced fellowship training, I've gained insightful experience working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate trauma, life transitions, and challenges with anxiety and depression.
Using multiple approaches including EMDR, IFS (also known as Parts work), CBT, attachment and somatic-based interventions, we'll work together to better understand your unique experiences as we build meaningful pathways towards lasting change.
My name is Sara Dillon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I am licensed in Virginia and I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth. I have worked with kids and families for over a decade both in the school and in the private practice settings.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and experience across a variety of settings, including hospitals, assisted living and nursing facilities, public health, primary care offices, and private practice. This diverse background has allowed me to support individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions.
I work with adults ages 18 and older, with a special focus on college-aged students, individuals experiencing relationship challenges, those recovering from narcissistic relationships, and the aging population. I help clients build skills in stress management, improve self-esteem, process grief, and navigate complex emotional experiences.
I was drawn to this field by a strong desire to support individuals during difficult times and to help them find clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. My goal is to walk alongside each client as they work toward healing and a more fulfilling life.
I hold a Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) from Christopher Newport University and a Masters in Social Work (MSW) with a clinical concentration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I have been practicing in the field of social work since 2015. My initial focus was child welfare working with children in foster care until I transitioned to outpatient mental health therapy.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Charlottesville starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists in the area work with a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship stress, life transitions, and postpartum mental health. Some providers specialize in specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Knowing whether you want talk therapy, couples counseling, or medication management from a psychiatrist can help you narrow your search.
Beyond specialty, practical details matter. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a Charlottesville office or virtual appointments from home. Check that a provider is licensed in Virginia and currently accepting new patients. Reading a provider's bio — including their approach, background, and what a first session looks like — can help you feel more confident before booking.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs upfront before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits your needs and is covered by your plan.
