I believe that we are all a work in progress, including myself. I want therapy to feel safe, productive and supportive.
We all encounter difficulty in life; it’s inevitable. Nowadays, we have the knowledge to know it takes more than physical health, or good nutrition to be well. In order to have a fulfilling life, we must take care of all aspects of our lives. At times, all we need is to lean into our own resources to cope. Other times we need a neutral person to place adequate tools in our path to help us move forward and thrive.
Hi, I'm Jerrica Newsome, a licensed professional counselor and founder of LifeWell Psychotherapy. I provide trauma-focused treatment and specialize in working with women and the BIPOC community. Trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, with certifications in CCTP and DBT-C, my approach is shaped by my experiences with identity, life transitions, and parenting. I'm dedicated to helping you heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and achieve personal growth in a compassionate and supportive space.
I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.
I have over 40 years of experience in mental health practice. I believe that we work together to help you be the best version of yourself. I am trauma therapy certified, anger management certified and work with teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma issues as well as Adult Children of Alcoholics. We are a team working together to help you improve your life situations
I apply a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. I recognize that by creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and to ultimately make lasting changes in their lives and relationships. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, OCD, narcissistic abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and relationship strain.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Chesapeake, VA
Searching for therapists in Chesapeake starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may be the right fit. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare Chesapeake therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
Chesapeake offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Greenbrier, Great Bridge, and Battlefield, with access to both in-person and virtual appointments. If you prefer meeting in an office, location and drive time may matter. If your schedule changes often, virtual sessions can make it easier to find a therapist with availability that fits your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers flexible scheduling, provides a free phone consultation, and describes a communication style that feels aligned with what you want from care.
Therapy in Chesapeake can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, read detailed bios, and book directly. You can browse Chesapeake counseling options, review therapist profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
