I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017 and my Master of Social Work in 2019. My clinical experience spans a wide range of settings, including medical social work, OBGYN/postpartum care, community mental health, emergency services crisis intervention and stabilization, pre-liver transplant support, and child welfare. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people show during some of their most challenging moments.
I believe that all people have the innate capacity to heal. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to share their stories and process trauma in a way that fosters growth, clarity, and emotional well-being. I utilize trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR and parts work. I focus on teaching practical, effective coping skills that clients can use in their daily lives.
I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and I am trained in EMDR. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety as well as relationship challenges.
Hi. I'm Kris Wegman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have decades of experience working with clients with various behavioral health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I have had the privilege of working with Veterans for most of my career but have worked on the Civilian side, too.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Searching for family therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what your family is working through. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, co-parenting concerns, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person, so their bios may mention work with parents, children, siblings, couples, or extended family members. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the age groups involved.
In Norfolk, a usable match often depends on both location and scheduling. You may prefer an in-person therapist near home, school, or work, while virtual appointments can make it easier to include family members in different places or with different schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different points in care. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile to understand their session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Family therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway lets you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
