If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I help adults work through anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the stress of big life transitions so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work.
My background spans trauma-informed care, support for college students building self-advocacy and success strategies (especially those with learning differences), and extensive work with the military community — including wounded warriors and their families.
Whether you're navigating a career or life change, managing attention or focus challenges, working through anxiety or depression, or facing relationship stress, I offer a safe, collaborative space where real growth is possible.
Clients often describe me as warm, real, non-judgmental, and direct in a supportive way. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome people from all backgrounds with a spirit of inclusion and care.
Hi! I'm Tammy Christman, LPC and I look forward to meeting with you while supporting your journey toward better mental health and healing.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner with a PhD, and I've spent ten years working with people who are genuinely tired of feeling like they should have figured this out by now. I work virtually with clients throughout Virginia, and I take a different approach than most therapists: I consider myself part clinician, part teacher. My goal isn't just for you to feel better in session — it's for you to leave understanding yourself well enough that you don't need me forever. I work with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns. I'm also a proud affirming provider for LGBTQ+ clients and believe good therapy should be accessible to everyone — which is why I've built in morning, afternoon, and evening availability.
I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.
As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.
In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.
I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Charlottesville, VA
Finding couples therapists in Charlottesville starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication breakdown, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list training in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy. Reading a therapist’s bio can help you see whether their experience matches the kind of support you and your partner are seeking.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, the local pool of couples therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to choose in-person care when location and schedule align. Since couples therapy requires one therapist who works for both partners, compare practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, session structure, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists also offer a brief initial consultation, which can help both partners assess fit before booking an ongoing session.
Couples therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who offer couples counseling in Charlottesville, review detailed profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
