Couples therapists in Newport News, VA

What does it take to be the hero of your own story? Difficulties don't have to be insurmountable barriers, but opportunities for growth. Learn from the more trying times, adapt to changes and persist despite the odds. Resilience shapes your character and sets a precedent for future challenges. It can be hard to adopt a proactive mindset when life is happening nonstop around you but I would like to build an authentic connection with you to explore making some positive and lasting changes.

My practice is eclectic in nature and is informed by many different modalities to include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy, play therapy but always trauma-informed and person-centered. I will meet you where you are, and together, we will create a plan for your treatment that is evidenced-based and celebrates your personal triumphs.

I have experience working with all ages, from 3yo to end of life concerns. I have focused my career on crisis intervention and debriefing traumatic events so that extreme or critical incidents in life don't develop into psychiatric disorders that become debilitating in nature. Prevention, proactivity, collaboration and building or strengthening connections in a therapeutic environment can help you get you to where you want to be.

As much as I would like to believe that I chose this profession, the profession really chose me; helping people manifest the changes they want to see is my passion. I work best with perfectionism, military spouses, imposter syndrome, anxiety, adjustment, and intermittent depression.

I value my relationship with my clients above all else. In fact, one of the most reliable predictors of the success of therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and the therapist. I draw upon extensive expertise and knowledge, but most importantly, a deep respect and care for each client’s individual experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and 757 native. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Old Dominion University.

I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.

Hi!

(CCTP) providing outpatient therapy for adults. For more than 22 years, I have been dedicated to

Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

• Certified Clinical Traumatologist
• Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
• Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

Hi. My name is Monique Branch, a licensed therapist that provides a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and encouraged as you navigate life's challenges.

I believe in meeting you where you are, offering compassion without judgement, and working together to create a meaningful change.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with training in both primary care and psychiatric mental health.
