I have a background in science and psychology, which fits my education as a psychologist. I am also a very creative and collaborative person. I want to work with each client to find the best individual treatment for them. I know many techniques and exercises, but only you can tell me what what works best for you. I enjoy helping adults (age 18+) navigate the transitions they face and be able to look forward to the future with hope (even if that feels very far away currently).

You are the most important person when you enter my space. Finding a therapist that’s a good fit is half the challenge and I am committed to creating that space for you to be yourself, share your truth and continue your process of growth. It’s about facing challenges together. I’m not here to make you change BUT I will set the stage for you to grow and develop your strengths.
I am committed to helping manage anxiety, depression, life stressors, trauma, and challenges that adults, families and teens may face. A good fit for me is a client who knows something needs adjustment but is not necessarily sure what that is. It is my role to guide, to challenge, to support, and to set that stage for growth.
If what you’ve been doing in the past isn’t working, are you ready to try something new? My mission is to educate and to empower you to live your optimal life. Reaching out can feel overwhelming. Just call or email for a consultation. I’ll answer your questions and share how we might work together. I’m here to provide you with support and guidance.
I am a client-centered therapist who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges, using a collaborative and supportive approach to foster growth and resilience.
Please feel free to call me Sam. I'm originally from North Carolina and received my bachelor's degree in social work at Appalachian State. In 2022, I moved to Southwest Virginia and received my master's degree in social work from Radford University. Overall, I have 13 years of experience as a Social Worker in different capacities, including grief and loss, chronic illness, and burnout. My passion is working with adults and older adults navigating life changes.
Hi there, welcome! I strive to offer a safe space where you can begin or continue your therapeutic journey. A nonjudgmental space where you can freely process, express, vent, and just be. Taking an individualized approach to include exploring thoughts/feelings/behaviors, challenging negative core beliefs, and developing more adaptive coping skills.
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 believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia
Finding the right therapist in Virginia starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or another challenge, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Virginia-licensed therapists include LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training and approaches.
With providers spread across Northern Virginia, Richmond, Hampton Roads, and beyond, practical factors matter too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions close to home or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Many therapists in Virginia offer both. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style, background, and areas of focus so you feel more confident going in.
Therapy in Virginia can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your specific plan and location.
