Grief counselors and therapists in Suffolk, VA

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC), who works with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate life’s challenges in a supportive and meaningful way. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring what’s on your mind.

I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, ADHD, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for personal growth, I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences and build tools for lasting change.

I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2016, worked for a substance abuse IOP until 2021 and have since been in private practice. I specialize in substance abuse but also work with many seeking help for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.

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.

Life is hitting you hard right now and maybe you're stuck, feel alone, struggle accomplishing tasks, struggle with the way your mind works, or you feel like there's not much meaning in your life. I am Michael Sheffield and alongside obtaining Master's degree, I have been working with people for 4 years. My life and training lead me towards these challenges, my listed treatment areas, as well as self-judgement, relationship stress, pessimism, anger, life building, workaholism, & chronic pain.

I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I acknowledge that late-stage capitalism is an implicit factor in functioning. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping.

Welcome—I'm so glad you're here. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, processing deep emotional wounds, or simply seeking a safe space to be heard, I’m here to support you. I’m a bilingual, neurodivergent, culturally-affirming National Certified Mental Health Counselor, licensed in Virginia and Florida, with 25+ years of experience guiding individuals through healing and growth. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practices.

I believe therapy is a powerful way to reconnect with your inner strength. If you're considering taking that step, I'd be honored to connect.

I currently work with individuals aged 18 and older.

Hi, I am a Licensed, Board-Certified Therapist providing psychotherapy services to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns.

As a member of and advocate for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive, and inclusive care. I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (7P's) Couples Workshop Leader, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and build healthier relationships.

In addition to providing therapy, I offer professional clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) professionals, supporting their growth and development in clinical practice.

Believing you are the expert in your life my hope is to act as a beacon of light on a path that sometimes goes dark.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, and I’m passionate about supporting adults on their journey toward healing and well-being. With a master’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and over seven years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and other life stressors.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance use services, and have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. I work with adults, with a particular passion for supporting women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC individuals, as well as those navigating post-psychedelic integration.

Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.

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.
