LGBT therapists in Woodbridge, VA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Master's in Psychology/Educational Psychology from Capella University. I am clinically trained in multiple modalities to include EMDR, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, and Trauma Psychotherapy.

I am social worker who practices telehealth psychotherapy. My specialty is with neurodivergent individuals, people in ethical non-monogamous relationships, the kink/BDSM community, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I also specialize in working with adults who have been marginalized by their body, gender, and sexuality.

You don't have to carry grief, a breakup, or relationship pain alone. Maybe you're needing help with an important decision or need creative solutions to challenges. In therapy we can make sense of what's happening.

I'm licensed in Virginia and Florida. I have advanced training in Parts Work, trauma treatment, EMDR and couples counseling. I bring a thoughtful, creative, and collaborative approach to therapy. I speak Spanish fluently. También hablo español.

I strive to be inclusive and affirming of diverse identities and experiences, and have over 13 years of experience in mental health. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, depth, and respect, and work alongside you toward resonance, healing and growth, I invite you to reach out.

Whether you are struggling with the far-reaching impact of past trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other ongoing health issue or simply wanting to invest in a bit of self-exploration and growth, I am so glad that you have begun your search for the best facilitator in that journey. I believe in meeting people where they are and allowing you to set your own pace for healing. I look forward to assisting on your healing journey in any way that I can.

Healing happens through connection, and that is what I am here to offer. I am Kaliyah Hughes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling and deep roots in community mental health, crisis support, and psychiatric care. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and more. Whether you are facing something acute or working toward your next chapter, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine care to every session. I would love to walk beside you.

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating life's challenges and seeking meaningful, lasting change. My clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals in crisis, first responders, and other professionals facing unique career or personal challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process that builds on your existing strengths and resilience.
