I’m Ine Saka, PMHNP-BC, FNP, and founder of Empathy Wellness Center, currently serving Maryland and Virginia. As a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, integrating traditional psychiatry with wellness-focused approaches to support mind, body, and spirit.
I have 26 years of experience dealing with individuals, couples, families in therapy. We will work together to develop plans that are unique and right for you.
I provide a thoughtful, intentional space for clients to explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s story, helping them move toward clarity, emotional balance, and a more aligned way of living.
Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.
My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.
I am a Licensed Clinical social worker in Virginia & DC. I possess over 5 years of mental health experience working with adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked in a variety of settings such as: schools, inpatient hospitals, partial hospitalization programs, and residential facilities.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Virginia Beach, VA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Virginia Beach starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and relevant to your needs. You may be looking for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to address in care.
Virginia Beach has a mix of local practices and virtual therapy options, which can help broaden your search for affirming care. If nearby appointment times are limited or you prefer a wider range of choices, virtual sessions can make it easier to find therapists in Virginia who focus on LGBTQIA+ support. Beyond specialty, consider availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, communication, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan.
