I’m really glad you’re here. As a Licensed Behavioral Health Therapist, I believe caring for your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful first step toward healing and change.

With over 10 years of experience, I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood—without judgment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who also holds Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certification (TF-CBT) as well Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification (AADC).

Amber Clay

Amber Clay

Therapist

Virtual • West Virginia


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist based in southern West Virginia. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, self-worth challenges, life transitions, and family stressors.

I am especially passionate about helping children and teens develop emotional regulation skills and helping adults build confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of identity.

As someone who serves rural communities, I understand the unique pressures families face — close-knit systems, generational patterns, limited resources, and the desire to “handle things on your own.” Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone.

My Philosophy

I believe people are not “too much” — they are often carrying too much.

Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, regulate your emotions, and build a life that feels more steady and aligned.

Hi, I’m Megan Jones, an LPC with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in West Virginia

Searching for therapists in West Virginia starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and areas of focus can vary. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist who lists experience with your concerns, preferred therapy approaches, or populations they support. A detailed bio can help you understand how they work before you book.

Location and format matter, too. If you are looking for a therapist in Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, or a nearby community, in-person availability may depend on where you live and how far you want to travel. Virtual appointments can expand your options across West Virginia, especially when local openings are limited. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Bios can also show communication style, session structure, and what to expect in a first visit.

The cost of therapy in West Virginia can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you find a fit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to check coverage for your location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
