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